Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 20 - Gosset
Gosset. — This Norman family are known as refugees in Jersey, but when scattered by the Revocation Edict, some of them settled in London, as is evident from the French Church Baptismal Registers. Abraham Gosset, of London, married Judith Ravenel in or before 1707; their children were Abraham (born 1708), Isaac (born 1709), and Jean Pierre (born 1711); Matthieu Gosset was a sponsor at the first baptism. In the next generation, Mr. Gedeon Gosset, of London, married Anne Buisset in or before 1742, and had two sons, Gedeon (born 1743), and Pierre (born 1744). Mr. Isaac Gosset and Françoise, his wife, had Jeanne Magdelaine (born 1743), Isaac (born 1745), Abraham (born 1748), and Francoise (born 1749).
I abridge from Burke’s “Landed Gentry” a memoir of the Jersey refugee family. John Gosset (died in 1712) was the father of John Gosset, who married Susan D’Allain, and left two sons; his younger son, Isaac, a subsequent chapter is concerned with. The elder son was Abraham, father of Matthew Gosset of Bagot, whose eldest son was another Matthew Gosset, Esq. of Bagot, Jersey, and of Connaught Square, London, Vice-Comes of the Island of Jersey (died 1843); the second wife of the younger Matthew was Grace, daughter of Admiral Sir Thomas Frankland, Bart., and her sons were Colonel William Matthew Gosset of the Royal Engineers, Admiral Henry Gosset, and Arthur Gosset, Esq. of Eltham House, Kent, the head of the family (born 1800, father of Arthur Wellesley Gosset and other children. There are two branches founded by Matthew Gosset, senior, by his second wife, Margaret Durell. (1.) Sir William Gosset, C.B., late Sergeant-at-Arms to the House of Commons (died 1848), was the father of Captain Sir Ralph Allen Gosset, K.C.B., also late Sergeant-at-Arms (died 1885), father of Colonel Butler Gosset. (2.) Major John Noah Gosset is the father of Colonel William O’Driscoll Gosset of the Royal Engineers. Another branch was founded by Matthew Gosset, junior, who by his third wife, Laura Honor Cotton, was father of George Bagot Gosset, Esq. (died 1840).
