Des Granges.

The above lists are from the old manuscript. For the following I am indebted to my correspondent. It appears that Mr. Baudoin accepted his charge in Jersey in 1585, owing to some disagreement between the French ministers and the governor of Guernsey (Sir Thomas Leighton). Before that date, Mr. Le Duc had been pastor of St. Martin’s in Guernsey. The ten parishes of Guernsey were about (or soon after) this date, however, given to French Protestant ministers, of whom the following is a list:—

Maitre Marin Chrestien dit Bonespoir, St. Pierre-Port.
Pierre Le Roy dit Bouillon, St. Pierre du bois et Torteval.
Mathurin Loulmeau dit Du Gravier, St. Martin.
Pierre Merlin, exerçant alternativement le ministère de la parolle de Dieu en ville.
Jacques Roullées, St. Andre.
Jean Marchant, La Foret.
Jean Du Quesnel, Le Catel.
Jean De Cherpont, Le Valle.
Noel Perruquet dit De la Mellonière, St. Samson.

In 1589 most of these returned to France. The following names afterwards occur. Jacques Guyneau (died 1592). George Chappelain (died 1592). Dominique Sicard (1592). Jean De la Valée (1592). Samuel Loulmeau (1592). Daniel Dolbel (1596). Jeremie Valpy
