Rouffignac.
Thomas de Rouffignac and Marie de la Motte, his wife, were Huguenots residing in Rochefoucauld, where their son Jacob was born in or about 1640. Jacob was called to the ministry in 1661, and was a refugee in England; he and his sons, Peter and Guy, were naturalised at Westminster in 1700 (see List xxiv.). At this date he appears to have been a widower, his wife’s maiden name having been Magdalen de Bonafons. He died in 1721. Peter, his son, became, on 11th February 1712 (n.s.), Rev. Peter Bouffignac, Rector of Stanford-le-Hope, Essex. (Wagner’s MSS.)
