Sabatier.

Sabatier was one of the martyrs in the galleys whose stedfastness and generosity occasioned the conversion to Protestantism of the Romish chaplain, Jean Francois Bion, author of a book entitled “Relation des tourmens que Ton fait souffrir aux Protestans qui sont sur les galères de France” (London, 1708). Margaret Sabatier had a pension in Ireland of £36, 10s. John Sabatier was a Director of the French Hospital, 4th July 1759. A refugee family of this name held property at Lea, near Portarlington; and its last representative, a respected county magistrate, died about twenty years ago.
