Notes.
Some memoranda regarding Scotland are given at pp. 313 and 319. Besides silk weaving, the refugees seem to have brought into Edinburgh the manufacture of felt. The Register of the City of Edinburgh, on 15th July 1688, mentions Francis Chameau, master of the manufactory for felt-making, and Susanna Pillet his wife; at that date their daughter, Elizabeth, was baptized by Monsieur du Pont, Pastor of the French Church, yr.; among the witnesses were “Lord Napier,” and “Monsieur Bino, his lordship’s governor;” [according to the peerages, this young nobleman must have been The Master of Napier, whose mother was Baroness Napier in her own right.] A witness to a baptism in 1692 was Abraham Turrin, felt-maker. From 1686 to 1693 the following names occur, Paul Roumieu, sen., watchmaker, Paul Roumieu, jun., watchmaker, and Jonet Bisset his wife, and their daughters, Jonet, Margaret, and Hellen. Alexander Mercier, Frenchman, button-maker, and Anna Atimont, or Atimo, his wife; their children, Peter (born 1686) and Margareta Arieta. Elias Le Blanc, Frenchman, indweller, and Isobell Campbell, his wife; their children, Christian and John (born 1690). Jean, daughter of Daniel Callard, vintner, burgess of Edinburgh, and Magdalen Bunell, his wife, was baptized on Lord’s day 23d Feb. 1690; one of the witnesses was David de Bees, chirurgeon-major to Major-General M‘Kay.
