 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 1/ i. Pierre Jaquet, a citizen of Geneva, was born 
 the latter part of the fifteenth century. The family 
 is said to have originated in the 
 vicinity of Gex, Savoy, France. 
 ("Armorial Genevois.") The 
 arms of the family* are pro- 
 duced in color in "Armorial 
 Genevois, par J. B.-G. Galiffe, 
 Adolphe Gautier et Aymon Ga- 
 liffe. Nouvelle editione. Gen- 
 eve. Georg & Co., Libraires- 
 editeurs, 1896," at plate 22. 
 These same arms are mentioned 
 by Rietstap as d'azur au chev., 
 ace. en chef de deux itoiles (5), en p. d'un croiss. These 
 arms were modified at later date by various branches 
 of the family, apparently for differentiation. On page 
 19 of the "Armorial" is the following: — 
 
 "Jaquet, Galiffe, Grenus, Naville (authorities). Variantes: i° 
 Selon un cachet 1665, le croissant remplace par une fleur de lys, ac- 
 compagne'e ou non de 3 ttoiles. 2° Selon un cachet 1693 avec le nom, 
 une fleur de lys accompagnee de 6 etoiles, une en chef, une en pointe et 
 deux a chaque flanc. 3 le chevron d'or. Les Jaquet annoblis par 
 diplome de Prusse 1723! portent d' 'argent au chevron de geules ac- 
 compagnee en chef d'une fasce haussce d'azur charge"e de 3 etoiles du 
 champ, et en pointe d'une aigle eployee de sable.' 1 
 
 Pierre Jaquet is mentioned in 1550 as the late Pierre 
 Jaquet, father of Francois (3), in the marriage contract 
 of the latter, hereafter quoted. He must have married

 had charge of the payment of the accounts for the work 
 done to the barracks and other public buildings, under- 
 taken in 1783, that the funds which had passed through 
 his hands for that object amounted to almost 1,500,000 
 florins, and that the details of the accounts which he had 
 to pay were immense ; that he was occupied in that mat- 
 ter seven years without not only compensation but 
 also indemnity ; that in spite of the exactness with which 
 he had conducted it and the care he had taken, he had 
 found a difference of near 5000 florins between the war- 
 rants he had received and the disbursements he had 
 made, the cause of which discrepancy he could not dis- 
 
20 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 cover ; that he had restored this account to the Chamber 
 of Accounts; that the Chamber, not doubting but that 
 he had made an omission to his prejudice, which it was 
 just to reimburse, did not wish to receive the sum and 
 had told him how little equity there was, that, having 
 given his care, laborious and attentive, during many 
 years to the accounts of the Seigneurie, &c, he found 
 himself, nevertheless, obliged to make up a deficiency 
 from his own funds ; that, notwithstanding that, the said 
 Sr. de Jaquet had persisted to request of the Chamber 
 that it receive the aforesaid sum, declaring that if he 
 received it back, it was in deference to the Chamber and 
 as a trust until they had discovered the error, without 
 which he could not profit by it. The report was referred 
 to M le Syndic Grenus that he might act so that Sr. de 
 Jaquet did not lose the sum in question, which the 
 Council did not consider belonged legally to the Seig- 
 neurie, and to render appreciation of the Council for the 
 trouble he had gratuitously taken in the public affairs 
 (Register of the Council, Dec. 31, 1790). He d. Jan. 17,

 his account, which was read in Council Sept. 30, 1769, 
 to the effect, that since the letters of nobility were granted 
 his family he had the right to sign his name de Jaquet, 
 which, however, he had not considered proper to do in 
 Geneva, his native land, but, being about to give his 
 son Jean an establishment in a foreign country, where

 it was advantageous to make use of the right given in 
 the letters, he prayed the Council to examine them. 
 The Council, therefore, declared that Jean had the right 
 to call himself and sign his name de Jaquet. He d. Aug.

 '' II 3. Francois Jaquet, son of Pierre Jaquet (1), was 
 born the early part of the sixteenth century. 
 
 Record of the Council of Two Hundred: January 8, 
 1572, Francois Jaquet mentioned as having become a 
 member in 1546. 
 
24 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 Francois Jaquet's first wife was Marie, dau. of 
 
 Claude Maillet, citizen of Geneva, and Maguerite de 
 
 Livron. His second marriage was performed at St. 
 Peter's, Geneva, the record being as follows: 
 
 "This Sunday, the 15th of the month of June, 1550, at the evening 
 service of 3 o'clock were married Francois Jaquet, a citizen of Geneva, 
 and Isabelle, daughter of Jehan Philippin, also a citizen of Geneva, 
 by me, F. Bourgoing, pastor." 
 
 According to Mr. Dufour-Vernes : "Francois Jaquet, 
 a citizen of Geneva, became a member of the Council of 
 Two Hundred in 1546; proprietor of lands in Geneva 
 and surrounding localities; died between 1572 and 1576, 
 having made his last will before J. L. Blecheret, a notary, 
 April 14, 1572; he married Isabelle, daughter of Jean 
 Philippin, a nobleman and citizen of Geneva, June 15, 
 1550 (contract before G. Messiez, notary, Aug 16, 1550). 
 He resided at Bourg-de-Four. Year after year he is 
 mentioned in the records of the Small Council, or Council 
 of State, and as a Member of the Council of Two Hundred 
 as late as 1572. In 1573 his name ceases to be found, 
 which is proof of his death in 1572. It is probable he 
 died at Troinex, near Geneva, where he possessed a house, 
 as is shown by an interesting deed of partition between 
 his children, dated December 5, 1577 (Notary Jaques 
 Cusin)."

 In the name of God, Amen! 
 Be it known to everybody by this present instrument, that in the 
 current year of the nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, one thousand 
 five hundred and fifty, on the Sixteenth day of August, in the presence 
 of me the undersigned, a sworn notary public and a citizen of Geneva, 
 and the witnesses hereinafter named, personally constituted herself 
 the honorable Isabelle, daughter of the noble Jehan Philippin, a 
 citizen of Geneva, acting in these presents with authority, willingness 
 and consent of honorable Francoys Jaquet, merchant and citizen of 
 Geneva, her husband present, consenting, authorizing and empower- 
 ing his said wife to pass upon the following things. Which said 
 Ysabelle, authorized as before, knowing and well advised, for her- 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 25 
 
 self and her heirs and successors whomsoever, makes over, surrenders, 
 delivers, transfers and abandons, in the best form and manner possible 
 and feasible, to the aforesaid noble Jehan Philippin, her father, here 
 present and covenanting and receiving for himself and his heirs and 
 successors whomsoever, to wit, each and all rights, titles, shares, 
 portions and claims, present and future, belonging or which may be- 
 long to the said Ysabelle, to fatherly, motherly, brotherly and sisterly 
 estates, personal and real, whatsoever and wheresoever situate and 
 located, reserved and expressly retained by the said Isabelle with the 
 consent of the said noble Jehan Philippin, her father, here present, to 
 wit, her true right of collateral succession, whenever and wherever it 
 may befall her by law as well as by custom, in order that the herein- 
 before surrendered and delivered goods may be had, held, enjoyed 
 and forever possessed by the said noble Jehan Philippin and his, and 
 to do with them and dispose of them as his own goods and as 
 he pleases. And this is done by the said Ysabelle, in pursuance of the 
 above said authority, in consideration of five hundred florins, small 
 weight, each worth twelve sous, together with dresses and accoutre- 
 ments given her and settled on her in marriage by the said noble Jehan 
 Philippin, her father, which settlement appears by an instrument made 
 by me the undersigned notary and bearing even date with the present 
 one. Of which surrendered and delivered goods the said Ysabelle, 
 with the authorization of her said husband, has divested and is divest- 
 ing herself by these presents, and Jehan Philippin, her father, is in- 
 vesting himself, by the delivery of a writing pen and the execution of 
 these presents, as is the custom in such cases to invest, with all prom- 
 ises, renunciations and provisos necessary and expedient. 
 
 Done and passed in Geneva at the residence of the said noble 
 Jehan Philippin, near the place du Mollar, in the presence of the dis- 
 tinguished Pierre Vachat, a notary and citizen of Geneva, and the 
 honorable Claude de la Corbiere, merchant-clothier, a citizen of Ge- 
 neva, and Oddet Jaquet, a broker and citizen of Geneva, as witnesses 
 hereunto invited as required.

 Marriage for the Honorable Francoys Jaquet, merchant and 
 citizen of Geneva, and the Honorable Ysabelle, his wife. 
 
 In the name of God, Amen. 
 
 Know all men, and be it manifest by this present and public 
 instrument, that in the current year of the nativity of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ, one thousand five hundred and fifty, on the sixteenth 
 day ot the month of August, a marriage has been contracted, pub- 
 licly solemnized by the holy church, and consummated between the 
 honorable Francoys, son of the late Pierre Jaquet, merchant and 
 citizen of Geneva, of the one part, and the honorable Ysabelle, daugh- 
 
26 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 ter of the noble Jehan Philippin, also a citizen and merchant of 
 Geneva, of the other part. In consideration of which marriage, 
 and because dowers and marriage settlements proceed from the side 
 of wives, in order that husbands may more easily support the charges, 
 and also if, in case of the husbands' decease, it should happen that 
 wives did not remain unmarried. 
 
 So it is that, in the presence of the undersigned sworn notary 
 public, a citizen of Geneva, and the hereinafter named witnesses, 
 the aforesaid noble Jehan Philippin, father of said Ysabelle, has 
 personally constituted himself. Knowing and being well advised, 
 he settles, gives and presents of his free will, without any constraint, 
 for himself, his heirs and successors whomsoever, as a dowry and 
 for the benefit of the said Ysabelle, to the aforesaid honorable Fran- 
 coys Jaquet, her husband, here present and covenanting and re- 
 ceiving for her and hers, and in the name and with the aid of the 
 said Ysabelle his wife and spouse, their heirs and successors whom- 
 soever, to wit, a sum of five hundred gold florins, small weight, worth 
 twelve sous each, good money current in this country, for her mar- 
 riage, and for her nuptial accoutrements and clothes two dresses 
 and two ornamented bodices, of good broadcloth, according to the 
 property of the marriage and persons. And which five hundred 
 florins, dresses and bodices, hereinbefore presented, the said Fran- 
 coys Jaquet, husband, acknowledges to have actually received from 
 the said noble Jehan Philippin, constitute^ to wit, the said five 
 hundred florins, in the presence of me notary and the witnesses here- 
 inafter named, in good gold crowns and money now current, and 
 the said dresses and bodices, as he says and acknowledges, prior to 
 this present instrument, so that, satisfied with these five hundred 
 florins, dresses and bodices, they therefore receipt and acquit the 
 said noble constituter, his heirs and successors whomsoever, with 
 the express pact never to claim them anymore nor quarrel about 
 them. And in case (what God forbid) a dissolution of said marriage 
 should take place the said Francois Jaquet, knowing and well ad- 
 vised, for himself and his, gives and presents for the advancement 
 and augmentation of said marriage to the said Ysabelle, his wife, 
 present, covenanting and receiving for her and her heirs and succes- 
 sors whomsoever, to wit, a sum of two hundred and fifty florins, 
 small weight, money as above, as a pure and irrevocable donation 
 between living ones; which two hundred and fifty florins together 
 with the marriage donation and the dresses hereinbefore mentioned 
 the said Jaquet, for himself and his as before, promises, under oath 
 and by special bond and mortgage on all his present and future per- 
 sonal and real estate, to pay and restore to the said Ysabelle, his 
 wife, present, as above, and hers as the case may be in the future, 
 should a dissolution of said marriage occur, according to the usages 
 and customs of the place and country, immediately after the said 
 case of dissolution has taken place, with all damages, costs, expenses 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 27 
 
 and commissions. And the joint parties, for themselves and their 
 heirs as above, have promised by taking an oath upon God's holy 
 scriptures, before me the said notary, and by bond and special mort- 
 gage on each and all of their real and personal property, present 
 and future, that the hereinbefore stated things are wholly agreeable 
 to them, stable, firm and valid forever, and will never in whole or 
 part be transgressed upon by them or others, but will both wholly 
 keep and observe them. Equally the joint parties, in pursuance 
 of their oath and bond as above, relinquish all and singular such rights, 
 edicts, statutes and privileges as well as all actions, exceptions, de- 
 ceptions, cavillings, franchises and freedoms — written and unwrit- 
 ten — by means of which they could or would attempt, say or do 
 anything contradictory to the foregoing things and the contents of 
 these presents, and even the rule stating that a general renuncia- 
 tion is invalid if not proceeded by a special one; the said parties 
 wishing that of the above things a public instrument be drawn up 
 for each one by me the undersigned notary. 
 
 Given, done and passed in Geneva, at the residence of the said 
 noble Jehan Philippin, near the place du Mollar, in the presence of 
 the distinguished Pierre Vachat, a notary and citizen of Geneva, 
 and the honorable Claude de la Corbiere, a merchant-clothier and 
 citizen of Geneva, and Oddet Jaquet, a broker and citizen of Geneva,

 Testament of the Honorable Francoys Jaquet, citizen and mer- 
 chant of Geneva. 
 
 In the name of everlasting and almighty God, and by this present 
 public instrument be it known and manifest to every one, that in the 
 current year of our Lord one thousand five hundred and seventy-two, 
 on the fourteenth day of the month of April, in the presence of me the 
 undersigned Jehan Lois Blechert, a citizen and sworn notary public 
 of Geneva, and the witnesses hereinafter named, personally constituted 
 himself the honorable Francoys Jaquet, a citizen and merchant of 
 said Geneva, who being of sound judgment and understanding and 
 good memory — although by the will of God prostrated in bed because 
 of a certain bodily illness — considering that nothing is more certain 
 than death and nothing more uncertain than the hour thereof and 
 that it is the duty of a good family father to prevent any quarrels, 
 doubts and contentions which might arise about the possessions of his 
 inheritance between those who will succeed him, 
 
 For that purpose — after having invoked God's help and prayed 
 that in the name of his dear Son, our only Saviour and Redeemer, the 
 Lord Jesus Christ, he may forgive him all his past faults, and by his 
 Holy Spirit guide the remainder of his days, that his life may be 
 redundant of everything to the honor and glory of God, the edifica- 
 tion of neighbors and the salvation of the said testator's soul — he has 
 made, dictated and ordered his nuncupative testament, containing his 
 ultimate disposition and direction about all of his said possessions, 
 and requested me, the said undersigned notary, to put it in writing 
 for future memory, in manner as follows: 
 
 In the first place, the said testator gives and bequeathes unto the 
 poor of the General Hospital of this city of Geneva, five florins; unto 
 the purse for poor foreigners another five florins, and unto the college 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 29 
 
 of this said city another five florins, which he wishes and directs to be 
 paid and delivered to them, by his hereinafter named heirs, three 
 months after his decease. 
 
 Item. The said testator wishes and directs that the honorable 
 Elizabet, his beloved wife, be honorably provided for from all his 
 possessions, with his hereinafter named heirs, without any diminution 
 of her rights, and that all things necessary to her be furnished and 
 supplied her at the expense of his said heirs as long as she shall live 
 honestly and in widowhood. 
 
 Item, he gives and bequeathes unto his beloved daughters Jaqueme 
 and Pernette a sum of five hundred florins each, . . . and which 
 he wishes and directs shall be paid and delivered to them by his said 
 hereinafter named heirs as soon as they shall have arrived at the 
 holy state of matrimony, and that meanwhile they be provided for 
 from all of his possessions, by his said hereinafter named heirs, . . . 
 in consideration of which he wishes and directs that his said daughters 
 shall hold themselves satisfied of the share which they could claim 
 and have to the possessions of the said testator, of which he disposes 
 and excludes them by these presents. And whereas the main object 
 of any testament is the hereditary institution, the said testator has 
 made, institutes, directs and with his own mouth has appointed and 
 appoints his universal heirs, to wit, Abram, Yzac, Jehan, Pierre, Jacob, 
 Ayme\ Jaques and Daniel, his beloved children each of them for an 
 equal share, . . . leaving the bringing up of these, his said chil- 
 dren, and the management of his possessions with the said Elizabet 
 Philippin, his wife, whom, as far as in his power, he appoints guardian, 
 administratrix and manager over them, on condition, however, that 
 she shall have an inventory made of all of his said possessions, and in 
 the said administration make use of the advice and counsel of Noble 
 Jehan Philippin, father-in-law, honorable Pierre Jaquet, nephew, and 
 Jehan Verle, brother-in-law of the said testator, whom he appoints 
 councellors; praying all of them to accept the said charge, and further 
 praying my lords the sovereigns and very honorable superiors of this 
 said city and all other lords administering justice, who shall be re- 
 quired, to allow and suffer this present testament, containing his said 
 last nuncupative disposition of direction of last will, to be carried out 
 to its full and whole extent by all the best means, so that, according to 
 law as well as laudable edicts and customs of the land, it can and 
 must be valid; to the effect of which he breaks, cancels and revokes 
 all other testaments, codicils and donation which might be found 
 having previously been made by him in the event of death, and prays 
 the hereinafter named witnesses to keep it well in mind, so as to give 
 true testimony about it, if required, and that by me, notary, one or 
 more instruments shall be drawn up thereof in as many clauses as may 
 be required, by means of whom it may concern.

 Partition of the Estate of the late honorable Francoys Jaquet, 
 citizen of Geneva, between his heirs. 
 
 Be it known and manifest to all men by these presents: 
 Since it is that the late honorable Francoys Jaquet, in his life 
 time a merchant and citizen of Geneva, has by his last will insti- 
 tuted his universal heirs the honorable Abraham, his son by first 
 marriage, Isaac, Pierre, Jehan, Jacob, Ayme\ Daniel and Jaques, his 
 children by second marriage, each of them for an equal share, and 
 also given and bequeathed to Isabel* and Pernette, his daughters, 
 
 * This must refer to Jaqu^me. 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 31 
 
 for their wedding a sum of five hundred florins each, together with 
 their wedding garments, excluding them from all of his other pos- 
 sessions, according to the contents of the said instrument of last will 
 received and signed by Egrege Jehan Loys Bl^cheret on the four- 
 teenth day of the month of April of the year one thousand five hun- 
 dred and seventy-two, and that since have died the said Jehan, 
 Jacob, Ayme and Daniel Jaquet and the said Isabel, their sister, 
 intestate and in pupilage, and that the said Abraham Jaquet has 
 brought against the honorable Isabel, relict of the said late Francoys 
 Jaquet, his step-mother, as guardian of himself as well as of her said 
 other children, demanding of her one fourth portion of each and all 
 the goods proceeded from the succession of the said deceased Fran- 
 coys Jaquet, his father, and to render to him an account of the said 
 one-fourth portion. And that thereupon the said guardian and con- 
 jointly with her the said Isaac, her son, and the honorable Pierre 
 Jaquet, their cousin, a citizen of Geneva, and curator of the said 
 Pierre, Jaques and Pernette Jaquet, wards, of the one part, and the 
 said Abraham Jaquet, of the other part, were at variance and in 
 dispute, the said guardian and the said Isaac, her son, and Pierre 
 Jaquet, curator as aforesaid, averring that only one-eighth portion 
 of the said goods is coming to him and that he cannot succeed to his 
 said deceased brothers and sister, as well because he is only related 
 to them on the father's side as because the said goods are not sub- 
 jected to any substitution, but that the part and portion of said 
 deceased children belongs to the said guardian and her said surviving 
 children of the second marriage as being related on both sides and 
 therefore nearer and abler to succeed their said deceased brothers 
 and sister, also conformably to the ordinances of said City, — and 
 the said Abraham on the contrary averring that, as well in law as by 
 virtue of the selfsame ordinances, the said fourth portion belongs to 
 him, the more so because there is but the question of the succession 
 to the goods of one and the same father; that many of these goods 
 are taxable, and they would have him bear equally the taxes and 
 expenses of their house although he had not lived nor stopped there 
 since his father's death. And that the said parties, in order to avoid 
 costs, litigation and vexation, and the more because there was partly 
 question of pupillary goods, should consequently have petitioned our 
 very honorable Sirs Syndics and Councillors of this city to determine 
 as well the said difference as others which might arise between the 
 said parties on account of the said succession and partition of the 
 said goods without form of process, it was their good pleasure to 
 commission such of the Sirs of their Councils as they thought best, 
 and that thereupon our said Sirs by their decree of the first of March 
 last commissioned the noble and honored Sirs Dechasteauneuf, 
 Magistri and Varre, councilors, and that to this effect the said ap- 
 pointed Sirs met on the twenty-fifth of April last and — after having 
 considered and understood everything and heard the said parties 
 
32 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 about all that which they averred, alleged and remonstrated — decided 
 and agreed as follows: 
 
 In the first place, that there be peace and good friendship between 
 the said parties. Item, That the four surviving brothers shall equally 
 divide between them in four shares one-half of the goods of the estate 
 of their said deceased father, and as regards the other half which did 
 belong to their said four deceased brothers — whereas the succession 
 to them appertains as well to their mother and the said Pernette, 
 their surviving sister, as to these surviving brothers — that the same 
 shall be divided into six parts of which the said four brothers, the 
 said Isabel, mother of the said deceased ones, and the said Pernette, 
 their sister, shall have one-sixth portion each, whilst that which 
 might have belonged to their said deceased sister shall remain in the 
 mass of said goods as if she had never been in existence. Item, 
 That the said Abraham shall be held to pay in future to the said 
 Isabel, his stepmother, for her share of the bequest made to her an 
 annuity created by the said testament, a sum of twenty-five florins 
 annually, one-half every six months, so long as she shall not recover 
 her dowry and increase. Item, that the dowry of the said Abraham 
 Jaquet's late mother shall be paid to him and deducted from the 
 mass of the said estate prior to its partition without, however, paying 
 him any interest; and that with regard thereto this Abraham shall 
 stand acquitted of the one hundred florins bequeathed to his brothers 
 to make them learn a trade, by means of which he would approve 
 the rendering of an account of the said guardian of her administra- 
 tion as his other brothers, and that this decision shall be accepted 
 by the said parties with promise to keep and observe it, and also be 
 decreed and approved by our said Sirs pursuant to the contents of 
 an instrument subscribed by Egrere Alliod, in date of the said decree 
 of the twenty-ninth day of the said month of April, to which — if 
 required — reference is here made. 
 
 Therefore it is that in the year one thousand five hundred and 
 seventy-seven, on the fifth day of the month of December, agreeably 
 to the contents of the said Accord and for the observation thereof, 
 before me Jaques Cusin, a citizen and sworn notary public of Geneva, 
 undersigned, and the hereinafter named witnesses, personally ap- 
 peared and identified themselves the above-named Isabel, relict of 
 the said deceased Francoys Jaquet, acting on her own behalf as well 
 as in capacity of guardian of the said Pierre, Jaques and Pernette 
 Jaquet, her children, with the honorable Pierre Jaquet their curator, 
 and the said Isaac Jaquet acting on his own behalf, of the one part, 
 and the said Abraham Jaquet assisted, advised and counselled by the 
 noble Estienne Malliet, citizen and councilor of this city, his first 
 cousin, of the other part; which parties — well knowing and well 
 advised — voluntarily and of their own free will, for themselves, their 
 said wards and their heirs and successors to come, each one of them 
 as much as may concern or regard him, did and by these presents do 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 33 
 
 make the division and partition of the said estate of the late Francoys 
 Jaquet, permanently and irrevocably in the way and manner follow- 
 ing, to wit,

 Pierre Jaquet, curator as aforesaid in the name as above, did and by 
 these presents do give up, abandon, relinquish and deliver purely, 
 simply and irrevocably, in the best possible way and fashion as can 
 and should be done, for his share as above, permanently and irrevo- 
 cably unto the said Abraham Jaquet, here present and accepting and 
 receiving for himself and his, as above, for his part and share and for

 and received as he stated and acknowledges, the real estate, speci- 
 fied and indicated as follows:

 as an equivalent and in consideration of the remission and shares 
 of the goods hereabove specified and stated, the said Abraham Ja- 
 quet — knowing and well-advised as above, and for himself and his 
 aforesaid — did and by these presents does give up, abandon, relin-

 ocable partition, unto the said Isabel, relict of the said late Fran-

 ian of Pierre, Jaques and Pernette Jaquet, her children, and the

 this over and above the share he is held to pay of the annuity of the 
 said Elizabet, his step-mother, as by the Accord hereabove mentioned. 
 Item, that the said Isabel, in name as above, and the said Isaac 
 Jaquet, her son, in his own and private name, shall be held and bound 
 to pay and satisfy to the said Abraham Jaquet a sum of three hundred 
 forty-one florins, seven sous and eight pennies which sum they owe 
 him still as a remainder as well of one one hundred and twenty-five 
 florins by reason of the allotments of the real estate left by the said 
 Francoys Jaquet which has been partitioned between the said par- 
 ties, as for their share of four hundred florins, amounting to a sum of 
 three hundred sixteen florins and eight sous for dotal restitution of 
 the mother of the said Abraham Jaquet. And which sum of three 
 hundred and forty-one florins, seven and eight pennies they shall be 
 bound to pay within the first next ensuing year, already commenced 
 on the twenty-fifth of April last past with rent and interest of the said

 Item, it has been reserved to the said Abraham Jaquet that he can

 reserved to him to recover as well from the said Elizabet as from her 
 said children that which may come to him and belong to him of the 
 clothing, rings and jewelry which he pretends has been received by the 
 said late Jaquet, his father, from Marie Malliet, mother of the said 
 Abraham, as by reason and right is expedient to him. Item, that all 
 claims and titles issuing from the inheritance of the said deceased 
 Jaquet, and other instruments and documents which now might belong

 Isaac, it having not been paid in any manner or shape whatever, and 
 that the said bond has not been paid by collusion. And save and 
 under reserve by the parties respectively of any error of account or 
 calculation in the foregoing, to prevail thereof as it is fit. For thus has 
 been resolved upon by the said parties who have respectively prom- 
 ised to have and hold the contents of the present accord agreeable,

 Accord and transaction between the honorable Elisabeth Philippin, 
 widow of the late honorable Francoys Jacquet, and the honorables 
 Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, citizens of Geneva, her children. 
 
 Be it manifest to all men, &c. Since the honorable Elizabeth 
 Philippin, widow of the late honorable Francoys Jacquet, for some 
 reasons which may have moved her hereto, wished to recover from the 
 estate of her said late husband Francoys Jacquet the following things, 
 Firstly, a sum of five hundred florins, with two hundred and fifty 
 florins increase and addition thereof, and other things settled upon 
 her as a dowry by her father the late noble Jehan Philippin, accord- 
 ing to the contents of the deed and articles of marriage on this sub- 
 ject (received and subscribed by Messiez) dated the sixteenth day of 
 the month of August of the year one thousand five hundred and fifty. 
 Item, a sum of three hundred and seventy-five florins, for an annuity 
 owed and promised to be paid her by Isaac, Pierre and Jaques Jacquet, 
 her children, due for the last five years since the year one thousand 
 five hundred and eighty one until this day included. Item, claimed 
 said widow from the said estate, to wit, one-eighth portion of the 
 estate left by the said late Francoys Jacquet, as per deed of partition 
 and accord made between the said widow and her said children (sub- 
 scribed Cusin) in the year one thousand five hundred and seventy- 
 seven, on the fifth of December. Item, over and besides the above 
 and having collected the said one-eighth portion, she claimed the suc- 
 cession and inheritance of her son Jacques Jacquet who died intes- 
 tate about five years ago, with restitution of the income of this suc- 
 cession. Item, the said widow claimed from her son the said Isaac 
 
38 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 Jacquet, a sum of one hundred and thirty-five florins due her by the 
 said Isaac as per deed (subscribed Delarue) dated the twenty-fourth 
 of May of the year one thousand five hundred and eighty-one. Item, 
 also claimed to be paid and reimbursed a sum of six hundred and 
 eighty florins and one sou, paid by her to Mr. Estienne Groz, being 
 the principal of a bond (subscribed Dupont) and acquittance un- 
 derneath (subscribed Blandin) of the twenty-ninth of May of the year 
 one thousand five hundred and eighty-four, with interest of the said 
 sum to this day. Item and finally claimed to be paid and reimbursed 
 a sum of three hundred florins principal and sixty-three florins and 
 one sou interest and costs, paid by the said widow to Mr. Pierre Morin 
 for her said children as appears by a receipt (subscribed Dupont) — 
 all of which hereabove mentioned instruments, if need may be, are 
 referred to. Of which claims, herebefore made and stated, duplicates 
 have been put into the hands of the honorable brothers Isaac and 
 Pierre Jacquet, sons of the said Elizabeth, who, after having received 
 and examined them at length, notably the said Isaac [who handled and 
 managed the patrimony of the said late Francoys Jacquet after the 
 partition made between the said two brothers, of the one part, and 
 Abraham Jacquet, another brother, of the other part, and by this 
 means is better informed of the said fact than his said brother Pierre, 
 and nobody else], furnished the following answers and reconventional 
 claims : 
 
 Firstly, concerning the marriage settlement of their said mother 
 and the incease thereof, they do accept and acknowledge it. Item, 
 as regards the above claimed five years of annuity, they do grant it; 
 she rendering them on account of the share which she ought to pay 
 for the above stated successions; the said brothers Jacquet also claim- 
 ing the rent of certain rooms and bank of the estate of the said Fran- 
 coys Jacquet, which the said widow, their mother, has occupied until 
 now. Item, the said brothers declare their willingness to reimburse 
 their said mother their share of the money which she has paid Mr. 
 Gros. And with regard to the three hundred florins paid to Mr. 
 Pierre Morin, the said Isaac replicates that there is no record of their 
 receipt; the said brothers Jacquet also claiming that their said mother 
 ought to render them account of the income of the possessions of 
 these brothers Jacquet which they estimate to be worth five hundred 
 crowns. Item, that she also ought to render them account of certain 
 merchandise delivered to her as stated in her acknowledgment (sub- 
 scribed Gallatin) amounting, as they say, to a sum of one thousand and 
 thirty-eight florins; they also claiming restitution of certain furni- 
 ture which she has in her possession, and further that she render them 
 account of nine hundred and eighty florins, mentioned in a certain 
 inventory in their possession, and by her received in cash. Item 
 the said brothers, notably the said Isaac, claim that their said mother 
 has to reimburse them the portion which they should bear in a sum of 
 two thousand florins, principal as well as interest and costs made in 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 39 
 
 the prosecution and defence of a suit at law entered by the Messrs. 
 Andrion against the said brothers Jacquet; and finally the said Isaac 
 alleged to claim from his said mother many other sums and moneys in 
 which he says his said mother is held unto him and which he will 
 prove in proper time and place. 
 
 Having heard all the foregoing the said widow says that she has 
 accounted for the things herebefore alleged when an account was 
 rendered to Abraham Jacquet, their other brother, and when his share 
 of the estate of the said late Francoys Jacquet was given him. 
 
 Which herebefore said parties, to wit, the said mother, of the one 
 part, and the said above named brothers Jacquet, of the other part, 
 desiring to avoid litigation and vexation the one with the other, have 
 together agreed to hold themselves to that which summarily shall be 
 taken cognizance of, adjudged, and decided by the hereinafter named 
 relations and kinsmen of the said mother and sons, respectively, 
 promising to observe and fulfill all that which shall be said and amica- 
 bly propounded by them. 
 
 Therefore it is that in the year one thousand five hundred and 
 eighty-six, on the ninth day of March, before me the undersigned, 
 notary public, in the presence of the hereinafter named witnesses, 
 personally appeared the said honorable Elizabeth Philippin, mother 
 of the said Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, of the one part, and the said 
 Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, of the other part; which said parties — well 
 knowing — have voluntarily and of their own accord, for themselves 
 and their heirs and universal successors, each party as much as affects 
 him and they may respectively be concerned and engaged in, sub- 
 mitted to the amicable decision of Sir Pierre Jacquet, first cousin 
 on father's side of the said Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, Egreges Guil- 
 houme Collomb, Estienne Calleat and Claude Foex, their cousins by 
 marriage, arbitrators respectively selected by the parties, who have 
 straightened and amicably settled the hereinabove stated differences 
 and agreed as follows : 
 
 Firstly, that henceforth peace and friendship shall exist and be 
 maintained between the said parties. 
 
 Item, that for all claims made by and belonging to the said Eliza- 
 beth against the estate of the said late Francoys Jacquet and for all 
 the demands and sums she asks of the said Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, 
 especially according to the articles made and heretofore mentioned on 
 her part, these brothers Isaac and Pierre Jacquet shall be and remain 
 debtors to their said mother, for the causes and reasons aforesaid, in a 
 sum of two thousand five hundred florins, for once. 
 
 Item, that during her natural life she shall have her habitation in 
 the house of the said brothers Jacquet, situate on the upper river 
 near the Mollard, and such in the rear of said house in two rooms on 
 the first floor, now occupied by the said Isaac. Item, the said brothers 
 shall be held to provide her with furniture for her use and keeping, 
 of which she will take charge as per inventory, and to let her enjoy it 
 
40 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 during lifetime as above said, and after her decease the said furni- 
 ture shall entirely belong to the said brothers Jacquet. Item, that 
 these brothers shall be held to pay every year to the said Elizabeth, 
 their mother, during her natural life, as rent and interest of the said 
 sum of two thousand and five hundred florins, or in the place of this 
 rent every year a sum of one hundred and eighty florins, which they 
 shall be held to pay in advance by halves from six to six months, 
 the first payment to begin on the first day of April next coming, and 
 so successively from six to six months as long as she lives; under bond 
 of each and all of their possessions whatever they be, which they pledge 
 themselves to hold. And for the greater and better security of the 
 above payment the said brothers Jacquet shall be held, each of them 
 respectively, to give sufficient guarantee to the said Philippin, their 
 mother, for the abovesaid payment at the time fixed; and moreover 
 on condition that when these brothers, or their sureties, shall well and 
 duly pay the said rent to their mother at the time aforesaid, she shall 
 not and cannot ask for, claim or recover the said capital sum of two 
 thousand five hundred florins from the said brothers Jacquet, ex- 
 cepting and reserving that if she deems fit, and in case of need, she 
 can recover from the said brothers Jacquet, her children, a sum of 
 fifteen hundred florins, proceeded as well of her marriage as goods 
 coming to her from the bequest of her father, the late noble Jehan 
 Philippin, of which to that amount only she can do and dispose ac- 
 cording to her will and wish, all, nevertheless, as far as in law and not 
 otherwise. And besides this in case the said brothers Jacquet or 
 their sureties should fail to pay the said annuity and money rent 
 thus established, in such case she can recover and collect from the 
 said brothers Jacquet or levy upon their goods the said entire sum of 
 two thousand five hundred florins. Item, the said widow shall be 
 held to make cession, transfer and acknowledgment to the said 
 brothers of what she will receive for the abovesaid causes as well of 
 her marriage and increase as annuity hereabove stated and on her 
 settled, concerning the fact and share of Abraham Jacquet, their 
 other brother, in order to have recourse therefor on the goods of the 
 said Abraham as will be expedient in law, and to collocate them in 
 proper right and place. Item, the said widow shall not be allowed 
 to lodge strangers in the the rooms given her. Also, if she should 
 wish to make her residence elsewhere and to rent the said rooms to 
 the said Jacquets, her children, they shall be held to give and pay her 
 for them every year for rent a sum of three gold crowns, payable con- 
 formably to the ordinances of this city. For, as is written hereabove, 
 it has been agreed, resolved upon and concurred between the parties, 
 who have promised and do promise by oath administered by me the 
 undersigned notary on each of them respectively, and under express 
 bond and general mortgage of all of their possessions present and 
 future whatever they may be, notably the said brothers Jacquet, for 
 the observation of the aforesaid matters and for the payment of the 
 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 41 
 
 things and sums hereabove promised by them to be paid to the said 
 widow, their mother, at the times and on the conditions above stipu- 
 lated. Pledging their persons and all of their goods, present and 
 future, whatsoever, which goods they oblige themselves to hold for 
 the sake of their said mother by way of precaution in case of default 
 of the said payments, notwithstanding the said widow remains 
 placed in the same degree and date of her dotal contract and other 
 obligatory instruments and receipts above mentioned and on her 
 part alleged for the said payments. And the said Elizabeth Philippin, 
 widow, also promises, by similar oath and pledge, as above, to observe 
 and accomplish on her part all that which heretofore has been prom- 
 ised by her without ever acting contrary to it. The said parties 
 besides renouncing all rights, laws, usages, city ordinances and other 
 means by which they, parties, could or would contravene to the above 
 described things in what manner it may be, particularly to the law 
 stating that a general renunciation is void if not preceded by a special 
 one. 
 
 Of which things the said parties have requested me the under- 
 signed notary to deliver to each of them a duplicate of similar sub- 
 stance and contents.

 258.\Abraham Jaquet, born circa 1545, according to his death 
 record; married Antoine de la CorbieYe, widow of Francois 
 Girod, the Record of the Council for General Affairs allud- 
 ing thus to the marriage: "Thursday, January 24, 1577, 
 Abraham Jaquet and Antoine his wife were referred by the 
 Consistory for having been married in popedom at Avignon 
 as they confessed. Resolved, that they be sentenced to 
 stay in prison for three days on bread and water and to 
 ask the forgiveness of God and the Lords, and besides be 
 sent back to the Consistory to make amends to the church, 
 if they have not already done so." Records of the Council

 for Private Matters: "April 3, 1578, Jaques Girod and 
 Abraham Jaquet, conjointly acting for Antoine de la Cor- 
 biere, widow of Francois Girod, presented a petition that 
 they be allowed to sell a small garden situate near St. 
 Legier, which was left by Francois Girod to his daughter, 
 who is being educated by Abraham Jaquet, which petition 
 was allowed." The same Records of Feb. 5, 1580, allude 
 to Abraham Jaquet having business at Boissey, behind the 
 lands of Savoy, and also that he was a relative of Syndic 
 Maillet. July 19, 1583, mention is made that the use of a 
 meadow is granted him. "Book of the Dead, 1584-1585:" 
 "Abraham Jaquet, citizen, died of partial pleurisy at the 
 age of about 40 years on this 27th of April, 1585, at the 
 Boust de fou." May 7, 1585, Antoine\ widow of Abraham 
 Jaquet, is allowed use of meadow formerly allowed the 
 husband. "Feb. 25, 1589, Antoine\ wife of Estienne 
 Benoist, of Syon en Valley, petitions that the Trustees of 
 the Hospital, who have had charge of the children of the 
 late Abraham Jaquet, her first husband, and who hold the 
 endowment which he settled upon her, be required to 
 return her said endowment for the maintenance of the 
 children, who have since been placed in charge of the said 
 Benoist, her present husband, which petition was con- 
 sidered."

 hIII. 260. Isaac Jaquet, son of Francois Jaquet (3) 
 and Isabel Elizabeth Philippin, was born in 1553, and 
 baptized June 5, 1553, at Madeleine Church, Geneva, 
 by the Rev. I. de Saint Andre, having been presented for 
 baptism by Antoine Veruel. He is mentioned in his 
 father's will and the partition proceedings as well as in 
 several references already referred to. He was mar- 
 ried Feb. 26, 1576, by the Rev. Perrot, at St. Peter's, 
 
 Geneva, to Elizabeth, daughter of the late George Taravel, 
 dit Fournier and Michee Maillet. According to Mr. 
 Dufour-Vernes, the Taravel family originated at Viry, 
 near Geneva, but they were not settled there prior to 
 1535, the date of the Reformation, and, consequently, 
 
44 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 the ancestry of the family could not be traced. The 
 "Armorial Genevois," previously mentioned, page 99, 
 says: 'Taravel dit Fournier. Received as Bourgeois 
 June 23, 1542, from Viry, Genevois. Author, Jean 
 Taravel, 1525. One of the family was a Member of the 
 Council of Two Hundred in 1595." The one received as a 
 bourgeois was Georges Taravel dit Fournier, father of 
 Isaac Jaquet's wife. He may have been the son of the 
 author referred to. Georges Taravel died probably in 
 1568, as his will was written by notary Jacques Rouph 
 Oct. 22, 1568, as appears in the next reference.

 Marriage between Honorable Isaac, son of the late Honorable 
 Francois Jacquet and Elizabeth Taravel. 
 
 In the name of God, Amen. Be it known to every one that 
 there are promises of marriage, published and announced in the 
 church of the Lord in this city of Geneva, and to be there celebrated, 
 and, subsequently, after observation of the solemnities, consummated, 
 between the Honorable Isaac, son of the late Honorable Francois 
 Jacquet, a citizen of said Geneva, and Elizabeth, daughter of the 
 late Honorable George Taravel dit Fornier, in his life time a citizen 
 of said Geneva. And in as much as on the part of wives, dowries 
 are voluntarily and customarily brought and their possession put in 
 the hands and under the power of the husband, so as to support 
 more easily the usual charges; In consideration thereof, and trusting 
 that the said promises will come into effect, according to the perfect 
 intention and determination of the parties, So it is that on this day, 
 the thirteenth of the month of February one thousand five hundred 
 and seventy six, before me the undersigned, Pierre de la Rue, sworn 
 notary, citizen of Geneva, and the hereinafter named witnesses, per- 
 sonally appeared Dame Mich£e Maillet, widow of the said late Tara- 
 vel, mother of the said maiden, who, in accordance with the testa- 
 mentary provisions of her said late husband, contained in his last 
 will received before Mr. Jacques Rouph, notary, on the twenty-second 
 of the month of October one thousand five hundred and sixty eight, 
 did and does settle for the dower and marriage of the said Elizabeth 
 and for her and in her name unto the said Jacquet, her future hus- 
 band, both here present and unitedly covenanting for themselves 
 and for the heirs and successors of the said Elizabeth, whosoever 
 they may be, to wit, a sum of one thousand and fifty florins, small 
 weight, which sum the said mother was to take out and to retain 
 from the estate of her said late husband when the same was par- 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 45 
 
 titioned between his male children and heirs, in order to preserve it 
 for her said daughter. Item, further she settles on her as above as 
 a dowry a sum of eighty florins proceeded from the estate of Marie, 
 a sister of the said Elizabeth, who died intestate, and being the share 
 coming to her, according to an agreement on this subject between all 
 the children of the said late Taravel. And moreover the said mother 
 gives privately to her said daughter a wedding dress and petticoat. 
 Which said sums of money amounting to eleven hundred and thirty 
 (sic) florins, the said Jacquet acknowledges to have had and received 
 to his satisfaction from the said Mailliet, his future mother-in-law, 
 for which he acquits and discharges her as well as also the heirs of the 
 said Taravel, promising never to make any demand therefor here- 
 after; and, as regards the said wedding garments, the said mother 
 promises to deliver them and adorn her said daughter therewith on 
 the day of her wedding. And should the case of restoration, as pro- 
 vided for by the edicts and customs of this city, occur, the said Jacquet, 
 or in his default his heirs, shall be bound to give back and restore to 
 the said Elizabeth or hers the said sum of eleven hundred and thirty 
 florins at any time that the said restoration must be made, and besides 
 pay accretion and augmentation, according to the edicts of this said 
 city, should the said Jacquet die prior to the said Elizabeth; in which 
 case he did and now does for then make to her a pure and irrevocable 
 donation of that which he may have acquired in first marriage, to- 
 gether with all garments and wife's jewels which shall have been made 
 and destined for her and her use, to be disposed thereof by her in 
 accordance with the said edicts. And to assure the said restoration 
 and the payment of said augmentation, if it should become due, the 
 said Jacquet did and does pledge and mortgage, in favor of his said 
 future wife and hers, each and all of his present and future real and 
 personal estate, and each part and parcel thereof. Accepting, never- 
 theless, by this present instrument each and all mutual and reciprocal 
 promises made between the said appearer and the said Jacquet for the 
 mutual observation and consummation thereof,, under and with oaths 
 taken by them on the Holy Scriptures and administered by me the 
 said notary, pledge and mortgage of all their goods, submission to all 
 courts where they may be summoned to comply respectively with the 
 foregoing in case of default, renouncing all means to the contrary, even 
 the right stating that a general renunciation is not valid unless pre- 
 ceded by a special one. 
 
 Done and pronounced at Geneva, in the house of the said Jacquet 
 and his brothers and the dwelling occupied by the honorables Claude 
 Lavonay and Jacques Malbuysson, situate on the Upper River, in the 
 presence of the said Lavonay, the said Malbuysson brother-in-law of 
 the bride, citizens of Geneva, the honorable Francois Revilliod, 
 citizen, also brother-in-law of the said Elizabeth, Pierre Jacquet, 
 brother of the groom, Ayme Dorcieres, citizens, and Egrege Francois

 Acquittance, cession and remittal made by Elizabeth Taravel in 
 favor of her brothers. 
 
 In the name of God, Amen. Be it known to every one that in the 
 year one thousand five hundred and seventy-six, and the thirteenth 
 day of the month of February, before me Pierre de la Rue, notary and 
 citizen of Geneva, undersigned, and the hereinafter named witnesses, 
 personally appeared the honest maiden Elizabeth, daughter of the 
 late Honorable George Taravel, diet Former, in his life time a citizen 
 of said Geneva, promised wife of the Honorable Isaac Jaquet, citizen of 
 said Geneva, acting with authority and consent of the said Jacquet, 
 her future husband, present and authorizing her, who, for herself and 
 hers, voluntarily and of her free will, cedes, gives up, relinquishes and 
 remits purely and irrevocably to the Honorable Pierre, Jean Paul, 
 and Jehan Taravel, her brothers, absent, dame Mich^e Mailliet, their 
 and the said Elizabeth's mother covenanting and accepting for them, 
 and also acting as guardian for the said Jehan, to wit, 
 
 All rights, titles, actions, loans, legitimate portions and supple- 
 mentary legitimate portions with all other successions which may 
 come, belong or hereafter fall to her, and generally all that which at 
 present or in future she could claim and consider to be due her, in 
 whatsoever manner it may be, in and of her fatherly, motherly and 
 brotherly possessions and rights, without either reserving anything 
 thereof for or by any means expecting to succeed to them unless in 
 default of other legitimate successors which has come or may come to 
 her, together with all rights and sisterly successions being, with the 
 consent of her said mother, expressly reserved by her. And in con- 
 sequence, excepting the abovesaid successions, she did and does 
 entirely renounce, and did and does demise them from this time for- 
 ward with solemn divestiture, allowing her said brothers and theirs to 
 enjoy them and dispose of them at pleasure, without her being able 
 (as she is not willing) to prevent it in any way; the said true right of 
 collateral succession to her said sisters being reserved by her, as 
 hereinbefore said. And all this she does because being to that end 
 sufficiently remunerated by means of the dowral settlement of one 
 thousand and fifty florins made by her said mother in her favor to the 
 said Jaquet, her future husband, who has made acknowledgment 
 thereof by their articles of marriage this day received before me notary, 
 and also of another sum of eighty florins, being her share of the suc- 
 cession of her sister Marie, besides that her said mother has given her a 
 wedding dress and petticoat; — and the said Elizabeth, well satisfied 
 with the dowry settled on her and the payment thereof to her future 
 husband, releases and discharges her said mother as well as her 
 brothers, covenanting never hereafter to lay claim thereto or to the 
 said rights in any manner whatsoever. Promising with authority of 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 47 
 
 the said Jacquet, her future husband, by oath taken upon the scrip- 
 tures and administered by me the said notary, to have the present 
 instrument in all its contents complied with, to observe and fulfil and 
 not to transgress it, under and with submission to all courts, renuncia- 
 tion of all benefits, rights, laws, exceptions and all contrary means 
 whatsoever even of the rule stating that a general renunciation is not 
 valid unless preceded by a special one.

 Bavaria, where he was under the care of his uncle, 
 Pierre Jaquet (262), who had previously settled there.

 Jaquet (281).] He was m. three times.* St. Lorenz's

 litterarum," City Archives, Niiremburg, state that in 1616, 
 Hon. Hannss Jacquet, also a citizen here, buys an 
 estate in St. Sebald's Parish near Paarfusser Bridge, 
 that in 1617, Oct. 20, 1624, April 19, 1630, June 5, 1632, 
 May 27, 1633, and July 11, 1639, he was a witness to 
 deeds. He became a member of St. John's Church and 
 in 1623 purchased a burial vault in that Churchyard, 
 which is mentioned in "Giigel. A Memorial of the 
 Norish Christian Churchyard. 1682. 4to," p. 201: "St. 
 John's Churchyard. No. 1569. Hans Jackett his and 
 his children's interment. God have mercy on all of 
 them. Year 1623." This is also mentioned in "John 
 Martin Trechsel. A renewed memorial of St. John's 
 Cemetery in Niirnberg, 1736, 4to," p. 124: "The 12th 
 (tombstone) No. 1569, is covered with a fine coat of 
 arms in a beautiful laurel wreath. The shield is divided, 
 alternately colored, with a fighting hawk turned to the 
 right on a hillock in the upper half. Over the shield 
 is an open helmet upon which is a broad bearded man 
 issuant, turned to the right, in a tightly buttoned dress, 
 the left hand resting on the belt around his hip, and the 
 right hand with uplifted arm holding a sword to fight. 
 Around the wreath one reads, Hans Jacket, his and his 
 children's interment, 1623." (Dr. Heerwagen says that 
 the epitaph no longer exists.) As the translation may 
 not be entirely accurate, the original is also quoted :

 In the foregoing description the words " fighting hawk " 
 are incorrect as the bird was a dove, as will hereafter 
 appear. The omission of the color will also be supplied, 
 as also additional details. The portrait of Hans Jaquet, 
 reproduced in this work, was photographed from the 
 engraving in "C. W. Panzer. A list of Niirnburg Por- 
 traits of all ranks and conditions. Niirnburg, 1790, 4 to," 
 p. 114. It will be observed that it was engraved by 
 F. F. Leonard, in 1668. The arms have been misrep- 
 resented. The dove should be turned towards the right 
 instead of the left of the shield, the color of the upper 
 field should be indicated as blue and the lower as gold ; 
 
 a crest cornet has been omitted, the sword should be 
 held by the right instead of the left hand, the colors 
 of the coat should be indicated as blue and gold quar- 
 terly, the belt should be shown and also the beard. 
 However, it is quite likely that the drawing was made 
 from a seal, in which the engraving is always the op- 
 posite of the impression, and in which, possibly, the 
 colors were also omitted or unnoticed. It is assumed 
 the same portrait is referred to in "John. Ferd. Roth. 
 History of Niirnburg Trade, An Essay. Leipsic, 1801," 
 Vol. II, p. 61: "Jacket, Hanns, b. 1579. D. 1647. S. 
 Panzer. Portrait."

 The arms appear in "Das grosse und Vollstandige, 
 anfangs Siebmacherische, hernacher Fiirstische und 
 Helmerische, nun aber Weigelische Wappen-Buch. 
 In sechs Theilen, etc. Niirnburg, verlegts Christoph 
 Weigels des altern seel. Wittwe. Gedruckt bey Lorentz 
 Bieling, 1734." The plates in the section containing 
 the Jaquet arms are said to have been engraved in 1657. 
 The illustration is reproduced slightly larger than the 
 original. 
 
 As the illustration in the original is rather small it is 
 difficult to tell whether the beard is indicated, although 
 it does not appear to be. However, it should, as all de- 
 scriptions mention it. The "bonnet" is also not entirely 
 correctly drawn, which is due, no doubt, to lack of 
 detail accuracy in a general compilation, and, possibly 
 the fancy of the artist.

 It will be observed that this description is incorrect 
 and incomplete. 
 
 The description given in Rietstap is as follows:

 It will be observed that Jean Jaquet ignored the arms 
 borne by his ancestors at Geneva and, apparently, used 
 only those received by him at Nuremberg.

 he was b. in 1614; this latter date, however, is incorrect, 
 as appears by consideration of the dates of the baptism of 
 the last child of his father by the second wife and the 
 first baptism after his third marriage. The portrait herein 
 reproduced was photographed from the engraving in 
 " C. W. Panzer. A List of Niirnberg Portraits of all ranks 
 and conditions. Niirnberg, 1790. 4to." It will be ob-

 served, however, that the plate was engraved by F. F. 
 Leonart, who probably engraved it either during Rev. 
 Isaac Jaquet's life or shortly after his death, as he also 
 engraved Isaac's father, Jean or Hans Jaquet, in 1668. 
 
 " Andr. Wurfel, Diptycka Heil Geist," p. 43 (in poss. of 
 Germanic Museum at Nuremberg) : 
 
 " Mr. Isaac Jaquet entered upon life at Nurnberg in 
 1614 (1616?). His father, a respectable merchant, was 
 Hanns Jaquet, and his mother Magdalena nee Wernlin. 
 His grandfather, Isaac Jaquet, was a citizen and Coun- 
 cillor of Geneva, and of the Reformed religion. The 
 grandmother, Elisabetha nee Darabellin (Taravel, dit 
 Fournier), after her husband's death, sent her son Johann 
 Jaquet, ten years old, to his father's brother Pierre 
 Jaquet, a citizen and merchant in Nurnberg, in order 
 to learn the merchant's business. By listening to ser- 
 mons he was led to the Evangelical Lutheran religion, 
 notwithstanding he had to forsake his country and his 
 property in the same. Our preacher, after laying the 
 foundations, applied himself under Grafen's guidance 
 at the Gymnasio Egyddano to the studio humanioribus . 
 He continued the same in Altdorf and devoted himself 
 especially to theology. In February, 1637, ne defended 
 under Bruno the genuine Disputation ad Lib. II. Cicero de 
 officio utili. Having became a Magister, he disputed 
 in the year 1649, praeside Ge. Koenigio, de origine et 
 termino Sabbathi; and equally under Weinmann, I Joh. 
 1, 7. He further discussed in the same year the first 
 of Hakopanii Exertationibus. He also visited Leipsic 
 and Jena. On the 9th of June of the said year, when 
 a Candida tus, he married Miss Susanna (Sabina) , daugh- 
 ter of Gabriel Moser. In 1642 he received the Diaconate 
 of the New Hospital, and was ordained in Altdorf on 
 Wednesday, the 3rd of August, and on the 15th of No- 
 vember he rendered Suscriptionum Normalium. As he in 
 the meantime, after Welhammer's death, with other 
 Deaconis, took charge alternately of the preaching on 
 Sundays and Thursdays, he was, on account of his elo- 
 quence, given charge of the preachership in 165 1. He

 departed this life on the 16th of May, 1652, and was 
 buried on the 24th. His widow followed him July 11, 
 1654. A daughter, Susanna Maria, died August 10, 1659. 
 Wolf Achatias died in his 35th year while a Chaplain in 
 the Derningish Regiment of Cavalry in 1680. Maria 
 Magdalena was married April 27, 1676, to Christoph 
 Nuszberger, an able gold and silver wire-drawer. 
 
 "After Mr. Jaquet's death, Messrs. Tobias Ruggrecht 
 and Georg Christoph Miiller provided alternately for 
 the preaching, and the latter finally became rector." 
 
 " Nurnbergisches Gelelsrten-Lexicon von G. A. Will., 
 1755," vol. II, page 229 : 
 
 "Jaquet (Isaac), a theologian, was born at Nurnberg 
 in the year 161 6. His father's name was Johann, and is 
 undoubtedly the one mentioned in Trechsel's "Joh. 
 Kirchhof," p. 124. He first went to Altdorf about the 
 close of 1635, and there held under Jos. Bruno in Feb- 
 ruary, 1637, the genuine Disp. ad L. 2 Cic. de officio 
 Utili, which he dedicated to his father and his brothers-in- 
 law Joh. G. Ludwig and Dav. Hirschvogel. Thereafter 
 he went to Leipsic and Jena, in order to further study 
 philosophy, and probably became a Magister in the latter 
 city. Being a Magister he came again to Altdorf, devoted 
 himself now to theology, and there held in the first place 
 in 1640, under Dr. Weinmann, a disputation on parten 
 I diff. quadragesimalis de aphorism. Apostol. 1 Joh. 7 
 Languis J. C. filii Dei emendat nos. etc.; later, in 1641, 
 under Dr. Koenig, one de origine et termino Sabbathi, 
 which disputations he perhaps wrote himself, as at that 
 time he may have been at Nurnberg, and may only have 
 travelled to Altdorf in order to dispute again. These 
 disputations were printed in Nurnberg, although at 
 that time there was already a printing house at Altdorf. 
 In the aforesaid year 1641, on the 9th of June, being 
 then a candidate to the ministry, he was married at 
 Nurnberg to Miss Susanna (Sabina), a daughter of Gabr. 
 Moser. In 1642 he became a Diaconus in the New Hos- 
 pital of the Holy Ghost, and in 1646, on the death of 
 Mr. Cyp. Welhammer, after having with other Diaconis 
 
60 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 temporarily provided for the preaching, he succeeded 
 him as preacher and rector in the said church. He 
 faithfully filled this office, but not longer than 1652, when 
 he departed this life on the 16th of May. 
 
 "Schwendel, in Bibliothecha exegetico-biblioa, cites of 
 him the two following manuscripts which were in the 
 library of the Hospital in Nurnberg: 30 sermons on 
 Jonas 2 to the end, held in 1643 an( i '44 ; 12 sermons on 
 Acts 17, 30, held in 1645." 
 
 The library, almost exclusively theological, of the Rev. 
 Isaac Jaquet, is mentioned in "Murr, Beschreibung der 
 vornehmsten Merkwurdigkeiten der Reichsstadt Nurn- 
 berg, 2 Aug., 1801, S. 433. Das Buch z. B. in der 
 Bibliothek des German. Nationalmuseums unter der 
 Signatur G 791 1. 8°, dann in der Stadtbibliothek 
 Nurnberg u. sonst." 
 
 Dr. Heerwagen stated that the library of the Holy 
 Ghost Hospital has became merged with the City Library 
 and that the Jaquet collection of books is separately 
 catalogued and indexed under the title of " Bibliotheca, 
 dess Spital-Ampts zum Heiligen Geist, Jaccuetische 
 Bibliothec, 1653."

 V. 291. Johannes, son of Jean or Hans Jaquet (276) 
 and Apollonia, was born, apparently, at Nuremberg, and 
 baptized Sept. 26, 1643 (St. Sebald's Records), his god- 
 father being Johann Schnabel, merchant.

 In this illustration the 
 shield is accurately drawn, 
 but the buttons of the coat 
 and the belt have been 
 improperly omitted. The 
 beard has been represented 
 pointed instead of full, as 
 it is described on the tomb 
 of Jean or Hans Jaquet in 
 1623. The rim of the hat 
 also slightly differs from the 
 earlier illustrations. The 
 crest coronet has also been 
 omitted. The mantling is 
 correct. The inaccuracy in the details, it will be ob- 
 served, seems to occur in all general heraldric com- 
 pilations. 
 
 Rietstap describes the arms as: 
 
 "Jaquet von und zu Bucheureuth, Bav. (An., 20 mai, 
 1767.). Coup6: au 1 d'azur a une colombe esc. d'arg., 
 posee sur un tertre de sin. ; au 2 d'or plein. C. : un 
 homme barbu, iss., portant moustaches, hab. d'un 
 parti d'or et d'azur, au rabat d'arg., coiffe" d'un bonnet 
 pointu d'azur, retr. d'or, tenant de sa main dextre 
 itendu un sabre en pal. L. d'or et d'azur." 
 
 The word "parti" is incorrect, as £cartele" is the 
 correct term. The former was probably used in con- 
 sequence of the illustration showing only the body to 
 the waist. 
 
 Possibly the discrepancies in the illustrations and 
 descriptions may have been made intentionally by the 
 various members of the family, but it is much more 
 likely that they are due to want of regard for details 
 by the various artists employed by the publishers of 
 the works referred to. It will be observed that in none 
 of the illustrations has an actual seal of any of the 
 family been reproduced. The only description of the 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 67 
 
 arms upon anything owned by the family was that of 
 the burial vault of Hans Jaquet, designed in 1623, when 
 it is most probable that care was taken to have the 
 arms correctly portrayed. It is unfortunate that a 
 photograph of these could not be made, on account of 
 their removal from the vault, but the description for- 
 tunately preserved must be the authority for deter- 
 mination of the details. 
 
 V. 292. Jacob Jaquet, son of Hans Jaquet (276) 
 
 and Apollonia , was born probably a few days 
 
 prior to his baptism, April 28, 1645 (St. Sebald's Rec-

 It will be observed that we again meet with inaccu-

 the tertre lacks the three tops or mounts, the crest coronet

 '' III. 263. Pierre Jaquet, son of Francois Jaquet (3) 
 and Isabel Elizabeth Philippin, was born at Geneva, and 
 baptized at Madeleine Church, Nov. 30, 1557, by the Rev. 
 I. Macar, his godfather being Pierre Vassati. (Records 
 of church.) He is mentioned in his father's will. Rec- 
 ords of the Council of Geneva for General Affairs: 
 "Dec. 26, 1581, Pierre, a son of the late Francois Ja- 
 quet and a citizen, had a petition presented tending 
 to grant him a certificate of his origin and parentage, 
 which was granted." This was probably requested on 
 account of his contemplated removal to Nuremberg. 
 In 1 591 he placed an epitaph upon his burial vault 
 at St. Rochus Church, referred to in Katalog der im 
 germanischen Museum befindlichen Bronceepitaphien des 
 15-18. Jhds. 189 1, 8°, p. 36: A decorative plate with 
 the words " Petter Jackett and Magdaleina his wife

 — A Memorial of the Norish Christian Churchyard — 
 1682, 4to. P. 58. This bronze epitaph is in posses- 
 sion of the Germanic Museum, from which the re- 
 production herein inserted was photographed. The 
 orthography in the descriptions is somewhat at vari- 
 ance with the original — " Wappenschild " merely re- 
 ferred to the shield upon which the free mark was 
 placed. Pierre Jaquet, apparently, preferred to place 
 his free mark upon his tomb rather than his paternal 
 arms of the Jaquets of Geneva. A free mark gave a 
 merchant many privileges and many of the graves of 
 merchants in the various cemeteries of Nuremberg have 
 the free mark appearing in the epitaph instead of the 
 original family arms, although the right of the deceased 
 to hereditary arms was unquestioned. In some instances, 
 however, these free marks were used by succeeding 
 generations as a family escutcheon. These free marks 
 exempted goods from certain duties. 
 
 Pierre Jaquet was married twice, and, although the 
 surnames of his wives could not be found, yet the 
 Christian name of each was Magdalena. Death Records, 
 Royal District Archives: Dec. 22, 1595, died Dame Mag- 
 dalena, wife of the honorable Peter Jacket. On the new 
 pau (pew?) behind the Bitterholde". This latter part 
 refers to the place of her burial; however, it was in her 
 husband's vault, previously referred to, at St. Rochus' 
 Churchyard. A recently published work of Dr. Th. 
 Hampe, "Reports of Niirnberg Councils on Art and 
 Artists," vol. II, 1571—1618 (1633), Vienna, Karl 
 Graeser & Co., and Leipsic, B. G. Teubner, 1904, No. 
 2272, p. 400, says: "Peter Jacquet's and Henrich Ter- 
 venal's petition and citation to Barbara, widow of 
 Johann de Troya, now wife of Hanns Bauern, at Trident, 
 a daughter of the late artist Niclas Tuvenal, gives in

 is still to be recognized as a citizen. " Records of Death,

 his vault.

 Although in the former edition it is stated that he came 
 of a Huguenot family which had been settled in various 
 parts of France and Switzerland, and, consequently, that 
 he was of French- Swiss origin, yet he was not born at 
 Neufchatel, as suggested, but was born at Nuremberg, 
 Bavaria, which fact was lately ascertained. "Letters 
 Relating to 'the Settlement of Germantown in Pennsyl- 
 vania (1683-4). From the Konneken Manuscript in the 
 Ministerial Archives of Lubeck. Reproduced in Fac- 
 simile Under the Direction of Julius Friedrick Sachse, 
 Litt. D. Lubeck and Philadelphia: 1903." Page 7, 
 contains a translation of " Positive news from America, 
 about the Province of Pennsylvania, from a German 
 who has journeyed hither, de dato, Philadelphia, March 
 7, 1684." The only part of this letter of import- 
 ance to quote here is that on page 17: "About these 
 newly engrafted foreigners, I will make no further men- 
 tion now, than that among them sundry High Germans 
 are found, who have already been settled in this country 
 for twenty years, and thus have, as it were, naturalized 
 themselves, namely, Siberians, Brandenburgers, Hol- 
 steiners, Switzers, &c. Also a Niirenberger by the name 
 of 'Jan Jaquet.' This letter is signed 'Francis Daniel 
 Pastorius.' This same letter was printed in 'The settle- 
 ment of Germantown, Pennsylvania, and the beginning 
 of German Emigration to North America,' by Hon. Samuel 
 Whitaker Pennypacker, LL.D., Philadelphia, 1899," 
 page 81. 
 
 It was the discovery of this letter that suggested the 
 searches made at Nuremberg and Geneva. 
 
 Jean Paul Jaquet's wife was Maria de Carpentier, as 
 appears by reference to the baptismal record of their 
 son Paul. He was baptized July 18, 1655, at the Dutch 
 Reformed Church, New York City. The records of 
 this church are published in the New York Genealogical 
 and Biographical Record, the baptism referred to appear- 
 ing in volume V at page 154: 
 
 July 18, 1655. Ouders: Jan Pauluszen Jaket, Maria Carpentier. 
 
 Kinders: Paulus. Getuygen: Jan de Jong, Maria Hendricks. 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 75 
 
 The word Pauluszen indicates the .name of Jean Paul's 
 father, according to the custom of the Dutch records 
 of that period, and the denomination of the church sug- 
 gests the country from whence they came. The de has 
 been omitted before Carpentier. 
 
 In the former genealogy published by the writer in 
 1896, the following references were printed on page 6: 
 
 "Doc. His. of N. Y.," Vol. Ill, p. 70: 
 
 "The Commandant at Fort Casimer named Jan Paulussen Jacquet, 
 brother in-law of De* Casparo Carpentier." 
 
 "Collections of the Hugenot Soc. of America," Vol. 
 I, p. 15 (XVI): 
 
 ' ' The special relations with the French of Rector Casper Carpentier 
 are not known. He died at New Castle in 1684. He was a brother- 
 in-law of Commandant Jacquet, and may have arrived here during 
 the pastorate of Mr. Bogardus. As he did not leave for New Castle 
 until 1657, it is possible that he preached in the meantime to his 
 countrymen settled in and about New Amsterdam." 
 
 " Carpentier's name mentioned at page 18." 
 
 As the references quoted were the only allusions found 
 at that time relating to Carpentier, the quotations from 
 the Collections of the Huguenot Society were inserted 
 with the belief that they were accurate, but subsequent 
 investigation has established the contrary. 
 
 The writer of the quotations was the Rev. Alfred V. 
 Wittmeyer who, in 1886, published Registers of the Births, 
 Marriages and Deaths of the " Eglise Francaise a la Nou- 
 ■velle York," which was printed in volume I of ''Collec- 
 tions of the Huguenot Society of America," previously men- 
 tioned. 
 
 He also said, at page xviii : 
 
 "Two of the French inhabitants of Harlem, Demarest and Le- 
 Maistre, had for two or three years ceased to contribute to the support 
 of the local Dutch 'voorleser,' who combined the functions of a school- 
 master with those of a reader and presentor. After repeated cita- 
 tions to appear, Le Maistre finally appeared before the Town Court 
 on April 5th, 1677, to answer for his refusal to pay, and this is the 
 
 * De Signifies Domine. 
 
76 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 plea he entered: They of the French Congregation, in the time of 
 Governor Francis Lovelace, having received a preacher, the aforesaid 
 Governor had said that ' the French of the Town of New Harlem 
 should be free as to contributing to the Dutch voorleser.' . . . 
 The Court did not admit Le Maistre's plea, but the existence of an 
 independent French church at the time spoken of is none the 
 less proved by it. But who was the 'preacher' referred to? Evi- 
 dently not Mr. Drisius, for he did not come here during Lovelace's 
 Governorship; besides, the language of the plea favors the idea that 
 the minister was himself a Frenchman. If his name has been handed 
 down, the choice would seem to lie between the Rev. Mr. Carpen- 
 tier, who might have returned for a time from New Castle, and the 
 Rev. Ezechiel Carre, who was minister of the French church of 
 Narragansett, R. I., in 1687. . . . But whatever the name of 
 the pastor may have been, the church itself must have ceased to 
 exist in 1678. At that date David Demarest and others were dis- 
 missed from the French church at Bergen, N. J., but a year later 
 the Labadist's, visiting New York, make no mention of a French 
 church there, and some of the settlers on Staten Island told them 
 that they then had 'neither church nor minister.'" 
 
 It will be observed that the foregoing is merely con- 
 jectural. It is assumed there was a Rev. Casparus 
 Carpentier at New Castle, and that he might have preached 
 at New Harlem or elsewhere, but no authority is cited. 
 The Rev. Wittmeyer's statements were made in 1886 
 and, it is presumed, were made upon the authority of 
 A Manual of the Reformed Church in America (formerly 
 Reformed Prot. Dutch Church) 1628-1878, by Edward 
 Tanjore Corwin, D.D., Pastor at Millstone, N. J. Third 
 Edition, 1879," on page 657 of which is given a "Chron- 
 ological List of Ministers in the Reformed Church in 
 America," in which is given "Casp. Carpentier, 1657." 
 On page 207 the following appears: 
 
 "Caspar Carpentier, mentioned in 1657 in a letter of Megapolensis 
 and Drisius to CI. Amsterdam. He was a brother-in-law of Jean 
 Paul Jacques, Commandant at Fort Casimir, Delaware. He died 
 in 1684. SeeAmst. Cor., Letters 89 (Aug. 5, 1657), 247 (Oct. 10, 1688). 
 This letter is quoted in Murphy's Anthology, 108. Doc. His. N. Y., 
 Ill, 69-72. Spottswood's His. Ser. New Castle, 1859. Dr. Spotts- 
 wood says: ' In 1684, there died in this town a French clergyman, 
 concerning whom we can learn nothing. It is presumed that he was 
 one of the exiled Huguenots.' " 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 77 
 
 By reading the foregoing, which was published in 1879 
 it is quite easy to see the authority for Rev. Wittmeyer's 
 statements published in 1886. 
 
 The citations referred to by Dr. Corwin will show, 
 that although Carpentier is mentioned in the letter of 
 1657, as the brother-in-law of Jaquet, yet it will be posi- 
 tively established that Carpentier was never in this coun- 
 try, that he did not die in 1684 and that he was not the 
 French clergyman mentioned by Dr. Spottswood.

 State of the Churches in New Netherland ; Anno 1657. 
 
 Reverend, Pious, Learned Sirs, Fathers & Brothers iu Ch'ro Jesu: 
 
 Your Reverences' letters, the one of the 13th June 1656 and the 
 other of the 15th Feby. of this year, reached us in safety, and we 
 have seen thereby with special gratification, the fatherly affection 
 and care which your Rev: evince for the prosperity of this early 
 growing Congregation. We have equally perceived therefrom the 
 trouble taken by your Rev. & by the Hon ble Lords Majores to pre- 
 vent the injuries which threaten this cummunity by the encroach- 
 ments of the heretical spirits; and likewise your Rev. desire to be 
 made acquainted with the Condition of the Churches in this Country: 
 
 In the harvest of the year 1656 we answered and wrote to you more 
 fully on this subject, but having received no acknowledgement of 
 that letter we doubt if it reached your hands, wherefore this will 
 serve the same purpose. 
 
 Last year the Lutherans gave out here that they had the consent 
 of the Lords Majors or Directors to call a Lutheran Parson from 
 Holland. They therefore petitioned the Hon bIe Director and Council 
 for permission to hold in the meantime their conventicles thus to 
 prepare the way for their expected and coming minister. Though 
 they began to urge on so stoutly we, nevertheless, (being animated 
 and cheered by your letter,) hoped for the best though dreading 
 the worst which even now has arrived: For though we could not 
 anticipate that the Noble Lords Majors could have given any con- 
 sent, yet it notwithstanding came to pass that a Lutheran Preacher 
 named Joannes Ernestus Goetwater, arrived in the Ship the Mill, 
 to the great joy of the Lutherans and especial discontent and dis- 
 appointment of the congregation of this place; yea of the whole 
 land even of the English. We, therefc.e, went to the Hon ble Di- 
 rector General & the Burgomasters & Schepens of this city and pre- 
 sented the accompanying petition. Whereupon it followed that they 
 cited the Lutheran Parson before their Honors; demanned of him 
 
78 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 with what intention he was come here, and what he had as a com- 
 mission and credentials. He answered, that he had come to be 
 Lutheran Preacher here, but he had no other commission than a 
 letter from the Lutheran consistory at Amsterdam to the Lutheran 
 congregation here. Whereupon he was informed by the Hon ble 
 Authorities here that he should abstain from all Church service or 
 from holding any meeting, and not to deliver the letter from the 
 Lutherans at Amsterdam which he had brought with him, without 
 further order; regulating himself in the meantime according to the 
 Placards of this Province enacted against private conventicles, which 
 he promised to do; but he was expecting further order and com- 
 mission by the first ships. In the meanwhile, we already have the 
 snake in our bosom. We would have been glad that the Lords Regent 
 had opened the letter of the Lutheran consistory in order to ascer- 
 tain from it the secret of the mission. But they have as yet been 
 unwilling to do this. We demanded also that the Noble Lords Regent 
 should send the Lutheran Minister back in the same ship in which 
 he arrived inasmuch as he came hither without the consent of the 
 Noble Director, in order to put a stop to their work which they seem 
 to intend to push forward with a hard Lutheran fate in despite and 
 opposition of the Regents; for we suspect that he came to see if he 
 will be permitted and suffered here, and to found other progress 
 thereupon. But we know not what we shall accomplish herein. 
 
 Last year Domine Gideon Schaats wrote to your Reverences con- 
 cerning the congregation in Renselaers and Bever Wyck, as he also 
 shall again do. The condition of the congregation there is most 
 favorable.it grows stronger apace so as to be almost as strong as are we 
 here at Manhatan. They built last year a handsome preaching house. 
 
 On the South River it has been hitherto very poorly, as regards 
 Religion and the Church, ist. Because we had there but one little 
 fort, and therein but one commissary with 10 or 12 men in the com- 
 panys service, merely for the purpose of carry on some trade with the 
 Indians. 2nd. In the year 1657 the fort, called Nassouw was aban- 
 doned and razed, and another named Casimir erected somewhat 
 lower and more toward the sea, and somewhat better garrisoned, 
 and strengthened by divers freemen who commenced a village. 
 
 But the Swedes increasing in numbers troubled & oppressed our 
 people daily, and after they had taken Fort Casimir from us, they 
 harrassed & vexed our nation so sorely that the South river was at 
 once abandoned. But our people retook that Fort Casimir again 
 in the year 1655. It was provided with a right strong garrison of 
 our people and contained divers free people there with dwellings. So 
 one was appointed who should read every Sunday something out of 
 the Apostles, which has yet been continued, and the Lutheran Minister 
 who was here was sent to Sweden. 
 
 Two miles from Fort Casimir up the river, stands another fort, 
 named Christina which was also taken at the same time by our People, 
 & the Preacher, together with the Swedish garrison, was sent away. 
 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 79 
 
 But as many Swedes and Finns to the number at least of 200 were 
 dwelling two or three miles up the river above Fort Christina, the 
 Swedish governor insisted on the Capitulation that one Lutheran 
 minister should be retained to instruct the people in their own tongue. 
 This their request was too easily granted. 1st. because trouble had 
 broken out at Manhatan with the Indians, and men required quick 
 dispatch, and to hasten back to the Manhattans to repair matters 
 there. 2nd. Because we had no reformed Preacher to establish there 
 or who understood their language. 
 
 Now this Lutheran Parson is a man of a godless and scandalous 
 life, a rolling rollicking unseemly sort, who is more inclined to look 
 into the wine-can than to pore over the Bible, and would rather 
 drink a kan of brandy for two hours than preach one, and when the 
 sap is in the wood then his hands itch and he becomes excessively 
 inclined to fight whomsoever he meets. The commandant at fort 
 Casimir, named Jan Paulussen Jacquet, brother-in-law of D e Casparo 
 Carpentier, told us that happened in the spring that this Parson 
 was tippling with a smith and being full of brandy they came to 
 fisticuffs and beat each other's heads black and blue; yea, that the 
 smith tore all the clothes from the Domine's back so that the good 
 Domine had to withdraw privately and suddenly and become some- 
 what recovered before any of his flock had sought explanation the 
 one from the other, Sed hoc parergiccos. 
 
 On Long Island are 7 Villages belonging to our province of which 
 3 namely Brenckelen, Midwout and Amerfort are settled by Dutch 
 who heretofore used to hold communion with us and came with 
 great difficulty to preaching here. It was some three hours work for 
 some of them ere they could come here. Wherefore when D e Pol- 
 hemus arrived here from Brasils, they requested that he might be 
 appointed their preacher which was granted by the Hon ble Director 
 General & Council. 
 
 The four other villages on Long Island viz : Gravesend Middelburgh 
 Vlissingen & Heemstede were established by the English: Those of 
 Gravesend are reported Mennonists; yea, they, for the most part, 
 reject Infant Baptism, the Sabbath, the office of Preacher, and the 
 Teachers of God's word, saying that through these have come all sorts 
 of contention into the world. Whenever they meet together the one 
 or the other reads something for them. At Flushing they heretofore 
 had a Presbyterian Preacher who conformed to our church, but many 
 of them became imbued with divers opinions and it was with them 
 quot homines tot sententia. They absented themselves from preaching, 
 nor would they pay the Preacher his promised stipend. The said 
 preacher was obliged to leave the place and to report to the English 
 Virginias. Now they have been some years without a minister. Last 
 year a fomenter of error came there. He was a cobbler from Rhode 
 Island in New England & stated that he was commissioned by Christ. 
 He began to preach at Flushing and then went with the people into 
 
80 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 the river and dipped them. This becoming known here, the Fiscaal 
 proceeded thither and brought him along. He was banished the 
 province. 
 
 At Middleburgh, called alias, Newtown they are mostly Independ- 
 ants, and have a man of the same persuasion there named Johannes 
 Moor, who preaches there well, but administers no sacraments, because 
 (as he says) he was permitted in New England to preach but not 
 authorized to administer sacraments, and he has thus continued now 
 for many years. In the village are also many other Inhabitants, 
 presbyterians, but they are not able to maintain a Presbyterian 
 Preacher, whilst we know not that any of this sect are to be found 
 among the English in N Eng ld , among whom there are preachers. 
 At Heemstede, about 7 Dutch miles from here there are some 
 Independents; also many of our persuasion and Presbyterians. 
 They have also a Presbyterian Preacher named Richard Denton, an 
 honest, pious and learned man. He hath in all thing's conformed to 
 our Church. The Independants of the place listen attentively to his 
 preaching, but when he began to baptise the children of such parents 
 as are not members of the church, they sometime's burst out of the 
 Church. 
 
 On the West side of the East river about one mile through Hell gate 
 (as we call it) opposite Flushing on the main another English village 
 has been begun over two years. It was named Oostdorp. The In- 
 habitants of this place are also Puritans alias Independents. They 
 also have no Preacher. They hold Sunday meetings reading from an 
 English book a sermon and making a prayer. 
 
 About 18 miles up the North River, halfway between the Manhat- 
 tans & Renselaer or Beverwyck lies a place called by the Dutch 
 Esopus or Sypous; by the Indians Atkarkarton. It is an exceedingly 
 beautiful land. There some Dutch Inhabitants have settled them- 
 selves, and prosper especially well. They hold Sunday meetings 
 and then one among them reads something out for a postille. 
 
 So it stands in this our province with churches. It is to be added 
 that (to our knowledge) not one of all these places, whether Dutch 
 or English villages, hath a Schoolmaster, expect the Manhattans, 
 Beverwyck & now one also at Fort Casimir on the South River; and 
 though some parents would give their children some Instruction; 
 yet they experience much difficulty, and nothing else is to be expected 
 than a ruined youth and a bewilderment of men's minds. Scarcely 
 any means can be seen to remedy this evil: — 1. because some villages 
 are only in their first establishment, and whilst people come naked & 
 poor from Holland they have not means to provide a minister & school- 
 master. 2. because there are few qualified persons in this Country 
 who can or will teach. 
 
 Of the conversion of the Heathens or Indians here, we can say but 
 little, nor do we see any means thereunto until by the numbers and 
 power of our nation they are subdued and brought under some policy 
 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 81 
 
 and our people shew them a better example than they have hitherto 
 done. 
 
 We have had one Indian here with us full two years, so that he 
 could read and write good Dutch; we instructed him in the grounds 
 of Religion; he also answered publicly in the Church, & repeated the 
 prayers. We likewise presented him with a Bible in order to work 
 through him some good among the Indians. But it all resulted in 
 nothing. He has taken to drinking of Brandy; he pawned the bible 
 and became a real beast who is doing more harm than good among 
 the Indians. 
 
 In conclusion we commend your Rev: to the merciful protection 
 of the Almighty, whom we pray to be pleased to bless your Rev: in 
 the Holy ministry.

 Nothing in the foregoing suggests that the Rev. Cas- 
 parus de Carpentier was in this country. 
 
 The writers of the letter who had been sent here by 
 the Classis of Amsterdam, were reporting to the latter 
 concerning conditions generally and, upon referring to 
 an incident told them by Commandant Jaquet, they 
 had alluded to him as a brother-in-law of Rev. Casparus 
 de Carpentier, as the latter was a preacher at Amster- 
 dam and a member of that Classis, consequently, the 
 relationship was merely referred to for identification.

 "In 1684, there died in this town a French clergyman concerning 
 whom we can learn nothing. It is presumed that he was one of the 
 exiled Huguenots, who where then flying to this country." 
 
 Dr. Spottswood's publication is merely a pamphlet 
 of a few pages — the name of Carpentier is not mentioned 
 at all in the whole publication. The foregoing is the 
 entire reference to the French clergyman. It will be 
 observed that the clergyman referred to was French, 
 that nothing could be learned of him, not even his name, 
 and it is presumed that he was one of the exiled Hugue-

 nots who were then -flying to this country — not at all sug- 
 gesting that he had been here as early as 1657.

 Dom. Selyns devoted himself in the meanwhile assiduously to the 
 duties of his calling, communicating regularly as usual by letter to 
 the classis. 
 
 "Sir Edward Andros," he writes, Oct. 10, 1688, "Governor at 
 Boston, who has now also entered upon the government of New 
 York and Jersey, having thus in charge the country from Canada 
 to Pennsylvania, belongs to the Church of England. Understanding 
 and speaking both Low Dutch and French he attends my preaching 
 and that of M. Daille. The rising thundergust of schismatic Lab- 
 adism and the bruta et brutalia lightning of fantastic Quakerism have 
 mostly vanished, without more ado, into smoke. Vorsman and his 
 company, comprise, at the highest, twelve Labadistic apostles, and 
 are striving to fill up their graveyard in New Bohemia. It will finally 
 come to naught. Tellenaer has packed up his Quaker goods in order 
 to become a justice of the peace in a village in Pennsylvania. To 
 subsist without God was an impossible thing. Would that sin could 
 be so diminished and godliness thus increased through the whole 
 land. But dykes and dams break through, more and more, and place 
 this land in the most miserable flood of unrighteousness. God pre- 
 serve us from more sin and keep us from proportionate punishment. 
 
 ' ' It has pleased the Lord to visit this city and most of the country 
 with a new kind of measles, and a relapsing of the same. Dom. 
 Schaats, of New Albany, arrived at his 80th year, begins to fail and 
 preaches once a fortnight. This patriarch may at any moment be 
 removed to the land of the patriarchs. Our French brethren are 
 doing well, and their congregations increase remarkably by the daily 
 arrival of French fugitives. At New Castle the French minister is 
 dead. About five leagues from here, where Nova Rupella (New 
 Rochelle) is built up, a new minister, de novo, has arrived. Thus 
 the Church of Christ extends to the East and to the West; and whether, 
 by these means, the doors of heaven will be opened for the Indians, 
 who are blind of faith, and wild of manners, time will show. It seems 
 as if God himself, looking upon this time of ignorance in these parts, 
 proclaims everywhere for men to repent." 
 
 Nothing in the foregoing suggests Carpentier. It 
 will be observed that the congregations were increasing 
 by the daily arrival of French fugitives, which is con- 
 sistent with Dr. Spottswood's statement concerning the 
 Huguenots arriving in 1684. Neither suggests that 
 there were any French here as early as 1657. As French 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 83 
 
 refugees had been arriving since 1684, it was quite nat- 
 ural that Selyns should allude to one of their pastors 
 being dead in 1688 but upon what evidence could the 
 inference be made that Carpentier was intended ? Dr. 
 Corwin, apparently upon seeing Carpentier mentioned 
 as the brother-in-law of Jaquet, in the letter of Mega- 
 polensis and Drisius of 1657, assumed he was in this 
 country with Jaquet, but had he read the entire letter 
 more carefully he would have discovered his error. 
 Having made an erroneous inference, Dr. Corwin was 
 readily misled to believe Carpentier was the French cler- 
 gyman referred to by Dr. Spottswood as having died in 
 1684, although it is impossible to see how he could apply 
 any name to Dr. Spottswood's meagre statement. In 
 the same manner he again fell into error in citing Selyns' 
 letter of 1688 as authority for Carpentier's death, which 
 also suggests two dates for his death, 1684, if Spotts- 
 wood were relied upon, and 1688, if Selyns' statement 
 were taken. 
 
 It would seem necessary merely to present the fore- 
 going authorities cited by Dr. Corwin to show the in- 
 accuracy of his inferences with reference to Carpentier, 
 but additional references will remove all doubt.

 In the preface of the work referred to it is stated that 
 " the active prosecution of this work has been conducted, 
 however, by the Rev. Edward T. Corwin. D.D., whose 
 long residence in Holland and thorough knowledge of 
 the Dutch language, well qualify him for the important 
 task." Although Dr. Corwin is deserving of great credit, 
 yet his insertion of parentheses in the body of the origi- 
 nal documents instead of using footnotes has been mis- 
 leading.

 Rev. David Roderen; Casp. Carpentier. 1650, March 7th. 
 
 The Consistory of Amsterdam represented that they had heard 
 Rev. David Roderen, formerly a candidate of the Classis, and now 
 dwelling at Amsterdam; and Rev. Casparus de Carpentier, at present 
 
84 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 minister at Amersfoort, as ministers (candidates), for the service of 
 their congregation. They had also received the approval of their 
 noble magistrates, and now they requested that the Classis would 
 also approve the same. So be it. The Classis having given heed 
 unto this request, do also, in the fear of the Lord, approve the election 
 and calls of these two individuals, and wish the blessing of the Lord 
 upon the Church of Amsterdam, unto the consummation of the same.

 Rev. Casparus Carpentier,* who had been called and installed as 
 a minister in the Church of Amsterdam, having shown proper and 
 excellent certificates, as to doctrine and life, both from the Classis, 
 and from the Church of Amersfoort, was also welcomed, congratulated 
 and accepted as a member of our Classis. v. 152." 
 
 The references quoted from the Classis of Amsterdam 
 establish Carpentier's connection with it and explain 
 why Megapolensis and Drisius referred to him in their 
 letter of 1657, but Dr. Corwin still adheres to his errors 
 in his footnote in which he repeats the statements and 
 authorities mentioned in his Manual of the Reformed 
 Church, previously quoted. When Dr. Corwin published 
 the latter work he merely stated his inferences from 
 the authorities cited by him, but when he compiled the 
 material abroad for his later work it was strange that 
 he did not observe the inaccuracy of his allusions to 
 Carpentier in his former work.

 Reverend, Godly, Wise and Learned Brethern: — 
 
 For some time past we have been learning with much satisfaction, 
 through the verbal statements of many who came to us from New 
 Netherland, that the church there, although small, is in a good and 
 
 * Casparus de Carpentier was called from the church of Amersfoort to be one of 
 the collegiate ministers of the church of Amsterdam on April 17th, i6so, being the 
 48th minister called to that church. He died on May 12, 1667. He was probably 
 the father of Rev. Casparus Carpentier, mentioned in a letter of Megapolensis and 
 Drisius, Aug. 5, 1657, who settled at New Amstel, Del. He is again referred to in a 
 letter of Oct. 10, 1688. This Carpentier was a brother-in-law of Jean Paul Jacquet 
 Commandant as Fort Casimir, Delaware, See Doc. Hist., N. Y., Ill, 69-72, 4to ed. ; 
 Murphy's, Anthology, 108; Spottswood's Historical Sermon, New Castle, Del. 1859;

 presumed he was one of the exiled Huguenots."

 peaceful condition; also that the extension of Christ's Kingdom 
 among the blind heathen is taken to heart, although not accompanied 
 with that success that could be wished. While we give thanks to the 
 Almighty for his grace, and commend the zeal of the brethern, we 
 would have preferred to learn the situation of the church from letters 
 of your own, especially in matters of importance. But no letters 
 from you have come to hand since your last, under date of October 6, 
 1653. After the receipt of that letter, we wrote to you in two letters, 
 dated respectively February 26 and November 11, 1654, what efforts 
 had been made by the Hon. Directors, and with what good results. 
 Since then either you have not written, or else our letters did not 
 come to your hands. From this we conclude that the Lutherans 
 must have abandoned their intention of procuring a minister of their 
 persuasion. Our Rev. Classis, indeed, looked upon this matter as 
 an affair of great consequence; for the Mennonists and English Inde- 
 pendents, of whom there is said to be not a few there, might have 
 been led to undertake the same thing in their turn, and would prob- 
 ably have attempted to introduce public gatherings In fact we 
 are informed that even the Jews have made request of the Hon. Gov- 
 ernor, and have also attempted in that country to erect a synagogue 
 for the exercise of their blasphemous religion. Out of all these things, 
 indeed, there would have arisen a very Babel. One cannot contem- 
 plate, without great emotion of soul, how greatly a pastor's labor 
 would have been increased under such circumstances, and beset with 
 obstacles, and what difficulties would have arisen to interfere with 
 their good and holy efforts for the extension of the cause of Christ. 
 The Hon. Directors appear to have acted in this matter in a very 
 Christian manner. Let us then — we here in this country and you 
 there — employ all diligence to frustrate all such plans, that the 
 wolves may be warded off from the tender lambs of Christ. 
 
 There came to hand lately a certain catechism drawn up by Rev. 
 John Megapolensis, with request for our approval, and that it be 
 prepared for printing. The Rev. Classis resolved, in conformity 
 with their action of January 30, 1651, in reference to this and like 
 matters, that although the diligence of his Reverence is to be 
 commended, yet that it is inadvisable to permit the printing, much 
 more the introduction of the same for the instruction of youth. Such 
 a course would war against the general order and usage of our church, 
 both in this country and in distant churches, planted by and depend- 
 ant on us. In these churches no other catechisms besides the Heidel- 
 berg, and the Compendium of the same, called the Short Inquiry, is 
 in use in the catechetical sermons, catechetical classes and schools. 
 
 Dear Brethern, the general Formula, the doctrines which are good, 
 tried, and established by long practice, to which old and young have 
 everywhere become accustomed, and which have been used with 
 much edification, should not be lightly changed. Hence also this 
 matter belongs to the order and laws of the National Synod and 
 
86 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 which no Particular Synod, much less a Classis or Consistory, may 
 alter. We leave it to your own forecast to decide, whether other 
 churches, should such a practise be permitted, would not likewise 
 assume the same liberty, and not only use other catechisms, but 
 different ones at different times in the same place? Neither would 
 this liberty be limited to this one matter of the Catechism. It would 
 also extend to other matters, either of a similar or of a different nature. 
 Out of this, what sad disputes, schisms, and all manner of confusions, 
 would arise. Beloved let us ever maintain unity, not only in the 
 doctrine of truth, but also in the Formula of the same, as well as in 
 those things which pertain to Order. Thus will the unity of the 
 Spirit, in the bond of peace, be promoted. 
 
 We wrote you on November n, 1654, concerning the proposal of 
 sending a minister to Long Island. As we understand it, he was to 
 receive six hundred guilders salary, by voluntary contributions of 
 the inhabitants, who would bind themselves to furnish, each one, 
 his share. We have indeed looked about for such a good minister, 
 but the proposed sum of money was considered altogether too mod- 
 erate, especially since he had a pretty large family. The Rev. Classis 
 has therefore been unable to secure anyone. The Rev. Brethren 
 then requested that an effort be made to raise the sum to twelve 
 hundred or at least one thousand guilders, but nothing subsequently 
 was accomplished, so far as we know. We have heard, however, 
 that Rev. Mr. Polhemus has undertaken the charge there, having 
 come from Brazil. He lost his charge there by reason of the sad 
 failure of the Company. We would like to know how this arrange- 
 ment is working. Those coming from that place (Long Island), 
 with whom we have conversed, tell us that there are not a few members 
 of the church there; and they also declare that his Reverence is recog- 
 nized by all as the regular minister; that he performs all the func- 
 tions of a pastor; and sometimes preaches at New Amsterdam, as 
 well as at Midwout, (Flatbush) and that his labors are appreciated, 
 and are not without fruit. We request, however, further infor- 
 mation about all these things. 
 
 As far as we are concerned, we have nothing against his Reverence 
 being and remaining pastor there according to (Church) Order. The 
 Rev. Mr. Polhemus has written to his wife that he is inclined to re- 
 main there. He says that he can get along with the salary, and will 
 continue his labors there, and directs her and the children to come 
 over. We have not wished to dissuade her from this journey to her 
 husband, but have rather sought to help her designs with the Hon. 
 Directors. She is a very worthy matron, and has a great desire to 
 join her husband. She has struggled along here in poverty and great 
 straits, and has always conducted herself modestly and piously. 
 
 We greatly desire, moreover, to learn how matters stand in the 
 church in Renselaerswyck on the south river; (this must be a mis- 
 take in one word or the other. Either south river must be read 
 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 87 
 
 north river, or else New Amstel should be read in place of Renselaers- 
 wyck) and if there be any other churches thereabout; what school- 
 masters are there, and what they are doing; what efforts towards 
 the conversion of the heathen, whether adults or children, are made, 
 or ought to be made, or might be made; in particular, what wants 
 the Rev. Brethren would wish to have supplied in the way of Cate- 
 chisms and Compendiums. Perhaps ere long, a wide door will open 
 for the spread of the Gospel among the heathen. To this end you 
 and we should use all diligence, trusting that our labor will not be 
 in vain in the Lord.

 The Classis of Amsterdam to the Consistory of New 
 Netherland, sent with Rev. Everardus Welius. 
 
 May 25th, 1657. 
 
 Reverend, Very Learned, Godly and Well Beloved Brethern in 
 Christ Jesus: 
 
 We cannot allow the excellent opportunity which is offered us to 
 pass, without sending this communication to you. The Hon. Mayor 
 of this city (Amsterdam) as well as the Hon. Commissioners of the 
 Affairs in the South River in New Netherland, have approved, in ac- 
 cordance with the published conditions concerning the same, (Art. 7, 
 of the previous year,) the sending provisionally to that place, of a 
 schoolmaster, who will also visit the sick, and publicly read God's 
 Word, and sing the Psalms. Accordingly we have sought out, for this 
 purpose, a worthy man, named Evert Pieterson. He has been ex- 
 amined in all the above named particulars, and is considered prop- 
 erly qualified. He therefore undertook his journey thither, (March 
 9, 1657,) in the fear of the Lord. We doubt not but that he has 
 already arrived, and has edified many. By him a certain letter was 
 sent over to your Reverences, in which we gave account of those 
 things which we judged necessary to communicate to you, (See 
 Col. Docs. N. Y. II. 4-22, 48-74) 
 
 The Gospel door seems ever to be opening more widely. Several 
 families are about to remove hence, being willing to be transported 
 thither. Who knows what the Lord God purposes in respect to the 
 extension of his kingdom, and the conversion of the heathen. Indeed 
 this good work has been so greatly taken to heart here, that it has 
 
88 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 been deemed necessary to send a lawful minister there, to institute 
 religious meetings in which God's word may be preached with sound- 
 ness, the sacraments administered according to Christ's ordinances, 
 and God's name publicly honored. Accordingly the Rev. Classis 
 has been occupied in choosing one from among the recommended 
 candidates, to go over in the capacity of minister. The lawful choice 
 has fallen upon Rev. Everardus Welius, a young man deserving of 
 much praise in many respects. For he is such a one in life, in study, 
 in gifts, in conversation, that we expect nothing else than to hear, 
 in due time, that he fills his office with fruitfulness, under God's 
 blessing and grace. Therefore also he has been ordained to his 
 office, after a proper final examination, by the laying on of hands 
 in the Classical Assembly. 
 
 We request, in case he should stop over in passing, in your lo- 
 calities, (New Amsterdam), that you will treat him with brotherly 
 consideration, and assist him in everything wherein he may have 
 need of your services. We hope that the Lord of the harvest will 
 make him a useful and successful laborer in the harvest which is 
 yet to be gathered there; that he will increasingly endue him with 
 strength of body and of soul; for surely his Reverence will, especially 
 at first, find trouble enough to fashion everything into a well ordered 
 form of church government. To this end, indeed, a friendly cor- 
 respondence between him and you, so far as possible, will not be 
 unserviceable to him. And the work of the ministry will be very 
 difficult, since there are already there, and in time more people will 
 come, of all manner of pernicious persuasion. Every one can there- 
 fore, easily perceive how much diligence and labor are required to 
 prevent false opinions and foul heresies from becoming prejudicial 
 to the pure truth. 
 
 In order also, that divers sects, in that colony, may not be able to 
 lift their heads, we have earnestly urged upon the Mayor and Com- 
 missioners here (at Amsterdam) that their Honors should do some- 
 thing to establish some (ecclesiastical) Order, in opposition to 
 general license. They have given us quite a satisfactory answer, 
 namely, that they could not force the consciences of men, which 
 indeed, we had expressly stated we did not wish; but they said, 
 that should information arrive that the sects carried on their ex- 
 ercises of religion (in public) then they would look to it to prevent 
 such a thing, after examination of the facts. 
 
 We have requested your Reverences to inform us from time to 
 time, by writing, concerning the condition of affairs in the Church 
 over which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers. We hear in- 
 deed one thing and another, through different private sources. But 
 meantime we are awaiting agreeable letters directly from you; but 
 now for years we have received no answers to our communications. 
 This circumstance makes us somewhat fearful lest this friendly cor- 
 respondence should gradually cease. This we hope not to see. 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 89 
 
 Meanwhile, as regards your Church, we did not sit still in the mat- 
 ter of the Lutheran controversy, of which frequent mention has 
 been made in our former letters; but so far as was practicable, we 
 have held a watchful eye upon it. It was rumored that they had 
 again petitioned the Directors to be permitted to enjoy, in that 
 land, freedom in the public exercises of their religion. But their 
 request was not granted. After they had repeatedly pressed their 
 suit, the said gentlemen dismissed them, finally, with the answer, 
 that their petition should be presented rather to the States-Gen- 
 eral than to them. We were further informed that the Directors 
 had examined the list of persons who had journeyed thither, and 
 had found among the number, the name of one John Ernest Goed- 
 water, (Gutwasser,) who for all we know, was examined by the Luth- 
 eran Church here, ordained as preacher, and sent over there in that 
 capacity. This is indeed a matter of great importance, which might 
 most signally hinder the progress of the truth. Therefore the Rev. 
 Brethern, the Deputies of the Classis, have been occupied since last 
 year in seeking to stop the growth of this evil. They have diligently 
 plied the Directors with persuasive arguments, and have persevered, 
 until the above mentioned gentlemen resolved to abide by the old 
 resolution, in conformity with what they had previously written 
 to the General and his Council in that place. Of this writing an 
 extract was asked and granted. In this we observe that the Luth- 
 erans were permitted the free exercise of their religion in their own 
 houses. We cannot interpret this in any other way than that every- 
 one must have the freedom to serve God quietly within his dwelling, 
 in such a manner as his religion may prescribe, without instituting 
 any public gathering or conventicles. When this interpretation 
 is recognized, our complaints will cease. 
 
 It therefore remains to you, worthy brethern, to be vigilant, lest 
 your congregation, which we learn is at present in a good and en- 
 couraging condition, suffer from the liberty which the sects may 
 assume. But should it happen that this evil is not remedied to your 
 satisfaction, although we hope it may be otherwise, if we can serve 
 you in any way, we gladly offer a helping hand, in the name of the 
 Classis, whenever our body is furnished by your Reverences with 
 proper information. This we will use as occasion permits. 
 
 Herewith we conclude. Meanwhile we hope that the Lord God 
 may bless you in your duties, and may preserve you in good health, 
 to the honor of his Holy Name, to the signal edification of your 
 congregation; and to your temporal welfare and eternal salvation.

 The foregoing letters show Carpentier's knowledge 
 of ecclesiastical conditions in New Netherland. The 
 latter letter is written May 25, 1657, and must have 
 actually crossed that written by Megapolensis and 
 Drisius Aug. 5, 1657. It will be seen how natural it 
 was for the latter to refer to Carpentier for the purpose 
 of identification of Jaquet.

 Reverend and Pious Fathers in Christ: — 
 
 After the death of Dimine Welius, who was sent here by your 
 Reverences about twenty-five years ago, we were without a preacher 
 of the Holy Gospel of the Reformed Christian Church, for nearly 
 twenty-three years, until Domine Petrus Tesschenmaker, then only 
 a licentiate, came to us four years ago, and was advanced to the 
 ministry by the Rev. Classis at New York, upon our urgent request, 
 and with the consent of our Governor there. He left us without 
 lawful reason, and has accepted, as we are told another call made by 
 the people of Bergen, in East New Jersey. 
 
 We have learned that Domine Jacobus Coelman, former minister 
 at Huys, in Flanders, now without a place, is on your coast; and 
 inasmuch as we are sufficiently assured of his References ripe or- 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 91 
 
 thodoxy, knowledge, aptness to teach, and good character, by trust- 
 worthy persons; therefore we earnestly pray and make request in 
 a manner friendly, that your Reverences will please to give your 
 consent to our call of said Domine Jacobus Coelman, and to send 
 him by first opportunity to us, with your permission that he may 
 become our pastor and teacher; and so remain. 
 
 We live here among many Lutherans, whose teachers preach in 
 a very unedifying manner; and among a still greater number of 
 Quakers who are given to errors. Apparently they will not cease 
 their efforts to draw into their fold the fickle ones. Therefore preach- 
 ing and catechizing in the clean, upright, true Reformed religion is 
 very necessary here, especially as a great many unreliable, dissolute 
 people move in here among us. We know, that said Domine Jacobus 
 Coelman usually does not observe the printed forms of prayers or 
 holydays; but we will not grow angry about that while we know 
 that he is sound in doctrine and of a good life. We hope, the Lord 
 will dispose your hearts, so that your Reverences will please to con- 
 sider our miserable spiritual state and condition, and that you will 
 not fail to send Domine Jacobus Coelman to us; especially since the 
 majority of our congregation, comprising about one hundred fathers 
 of families, have subscribed for a yearly salary for said Domine 
 Jacobus Coelman and have firmly pledged certain of their lots to him. 
 We shall therefore rely upon the fatherly Christian love of your 
 Reverences and earnestly await the arrival of his Reverence. We 
 also beseech the Almighty for yourselves, and the growth of your 
 congregations in faith, peace and love, in Jesus Christ, our Lord. 
 We remain, Reverend, Pious Fathers, 
 
 Your very humble servants, friends and 
 
 brothers,

 The parentheses are inserted by Dr. Corwin. By 
 comparison of this reference with the quotation of the

 "With this object in view, Stuyvesant, the Dutch Director General 
 at New Amsterdam, organized an expedition to the South river in 
 1 65 1, and after abandoning and demolishing Fort Nassau, a colony 
 was established and fort built at Sandhuken, which they called Fort 
 Casimir. . . . The Dutch minister, Grasmeer, accompanied 
 Stuyvesant on this expedition, so that he was probably the first 
 minister of the Gospel who visited New Castle. There is no record 
 of any religious services conducted by him at the new post, but it is 
 reasonable to suppose that there were such services. He returned to 
 New Amsterdam with Stuyvesant." 
 
 ' ' Fort Casimir was captured by a Swedish force under John Risingh 
 on May 30, 1654, and called Fort Trinity. Stuyvesant at the head 
 of a small fleet and army recaptured the place on September 11, 
 16^ s. . - • During the Swedish occupancy of about Sixteen 
 months, a Swedish minister named Petrus Hjort resided at the fort, 
 and he was the first minister of any denomination who was stationed 
 at New Castle. Sprincborn says concerning him: "Rising likewise 
 exhibited zeal and circumspection in administering the religious 
 interests of the colony, of the ministers (already spoken of) who came 
 out on the " Ornen." one Petrus Hjort. described by Rising as " both 
 temporally and spiritually a poor parson was assigned a home in Fort 
 Trinity, also to be the centre of his parochial duties, while his com- 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 93 
 
 panion, Matthias Nertunius, dwelt at Upland." After the recapture 
 of the Fort by Stuyvesant the two Clergymen above named were 
 taken to New Amsterdam, to be conveyed thence to Europe in Novem- 
 ber with Rising. (Sprincborn Hist. Colony of New Sweden, Pa. 
 Mag. Vol. VIII, p.p. 136 and 157). 
 
 "The second expedition under Stuyvesant was accompanied by 
 his Chaplain Rev. John Megapolensis, who preached a sermon to the 
 troops on Sunday, September 12th, the day after the capture. The 
 Dutch West India Company recognized the authority of the established 
 Church of Holland over their Colonial possessions, and the specific care 
 of the transatlantic Churches was early intrusted by the synod of 
 North Holland to the Classis of Amsterdam. By that body all the 
 Colonial clergy were approved and commissioned. The clergymen 
 commissioned by the Classis of Amsterdam were of course Calvan- 
 ists. They were generally men of high scholarship and thorough 
 theological training, 'for the people who at Leyden preferred a Univer- 
 sity to a fair, insisted upon an educated Clergy.' (Broadhead's 
 His. N. Y. 614). . . . 
 
 "The following extract from the appendix to Broadhead's History 
 of New York at page 760 gives a curious picture of ecclesiastical 
 affairs in Manhatan about the close of Kieft's adminstration : 'What 
 religion could men expect to find in a person (Kieft) who from the 3d 
 of January 1644, to nth of May, 1647, would never hear God's 
 word . . . During the sermon . . . Director Kieft sev- 
 eral times allowed the drum to beat. The Clergyman, Bogardus, 
 having therefore requested that the drum might be beaten some- 
 what further off,' etc."

 "The Dutch Calvanists could see little good in the Swedish 
 Lutheran Minister; and this will account largely for the opinions 
 expressed about the Swedish Minister Lokenius in the following 
 letter from the Revs. John Megapolensis and Samuel Drisius, 
 written from New Amsterdam to the Classis of Amsterdam, August 
 5, 1657." (Then follows the letter, previously quoted).

 "At the time of the overthrow of the Swedish Government on the 
 Delaware, and for some years before, there was a Swedish Church 
 and Congregation, at Swanwyck, a small settlement about one 
 English mile above Fort Casimir, at which place the Lutheran mini- 
 ster, above spoken of (Lokenius) officiated, and not at New Castle. 
 After the visit of Dr. Megapolensis to Fort Casimir in 1655, there 
 appears to have been no one at this point to look after the religious 
 interests of the colonists until the transfer of the territory, ' from 
 South Side Christinakill to Boomtze's (Bombay) Hook' to the city of 
 
94 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 Amsterdam, which event occurred July 12, 1656, and the colony was 
 given the name of New Amstel. 
 
 "The city engaged to send out 'a proper person for a schoolmaster, 
 who shall also read the Holy Scriptures in public and set the Psalms.' 
 The first colonists sent out by the city numbered, including 50 soldiers, 
 167 persons under Director Jacob Alrichs. Evert Pieterson, who had 
 passed a good examination before the Classis, accompanied the emi- 
 grants 'as schoolmaster and Ziekentrooster to read God's word and 
 lead in singing, until the arrival of a Clergyman' (Brodhead, N. Y., 
 
 631). 
 
 "During the first few months of Alrichs' administration, Evert 
 Pieterson, 'the Voorleezer,' performed the duties of his office. The 
 classis of Amsterdam, however, soon commissioned Domine Ever- 
 ardus Welius, a young man of much esteem 'in life, in studies, in gifts 
 and in conversation,' to take charge of the congregation, who sailed 
 for the South river in company with about four hundred new emi- 
 grants. They arrived at New Amstel on board the 'De Waegh' and 
 galiot 'Nieuwe Amstel' on August 21, 1657, and a congregation was 
 at once organized of which Director Alrichs and Jean Williams were 
 appointed elders, and Evert Pieterson and a colleague, deacons. 
 Thus we find the first regularly appointed Dutch minister settled 
 at New Castle, and this event marked the beginning of an era of 
 prosperity in the new colony."

 "A violent epidemic of dysentery raged in the town of New Amstel 
 in the fall and winter of 1659, and on the 9th of December of that 
 year Welius fell a victim to it" (Alrichs' letter to Classis of Amster- 
 dam, Dec. 12, 1659). 
 
 Page 13: 
 
 "After the death of Welius, great inconvenience was felt in the 
 absence of a minister, and we find the authorities constantly remind- 
 ing the Directors in Holland of their needs and great desire that one 
 should be sent them. Governor Beekman at Altona (theretofore 
 Fort Christina), writing to Stuyvesant May 12, 1660, says: 'I learn 
 from Capt. Creiger that your Noble Worship is expecting three or 
 four preachers from the Fatherland; I would request your Honor 
 that one of them might be sent to us here on the river, for the relief 
 of the community of Christians; it would occasion further increase 
 and population.' (Albany Records, Vol. XII., p. 310). Of his own 
 needs for a minister, Beekman, under date of January 14, 1661, writes 
 'Yesterday, the Lord our God did give an increase to our family 
 by a boy; I could wish there was an opportunity of initiating him 
 him by christian baptism' (Hazard's Annals, p. 320), and on Sep- 
 tember 8, 1662, says in letter to Alrichs (Stuyvesant) 'Yesterday 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 95 
 
 my wife was delivered of a son, so that now two of my sons are un- 
 baptized. We are expecting daily the Shallop with the desirable 
 Gospel minister.' 
 
 "Beekman was probably misinformed as to the arrival of the 
 minister as no other mention is made of it. In a letter to Stuyvesant 
 dated August 3, 1662, he writes: 'If your Honorable worship would 
 consider it expedient to send hither the Honorable Fiscal, I would 
 respectfully request, that he be accompanied by a minister, as there 
 are several children to baptize here at Altona as well as New Amstel. 
 Nor has the Lord's Supper been administered to us here for two and 
 one-half years so that your Honorable Worships would do us a good 
 favor by it' (Hazard's Annals, 338). No Dutch minister was sent 
 until the Spring of 1664 when Dominie Warnerus Hadson was selected 
 by the Classis of Amsterdam and sent, but he died on the voyage out, 
 and the Dutch colonists there, whose children had not been baptized 
 since the death of Welius, and who held the Lutheran clegyman, 
 Lokenius in little esteem, anxiously desired another minister (Brod- 
 head's N. Y., 734)-" 
 
 Page 15: 
 
 "In 1663 Abelius Zetscroon, a student, came to this country and 
 for sometime held Divine service, to the Swedes at Sandhook. " 
 (New Castle) (Acrelius' " New Sweden"). Beekman in a letter to 
 Stuyvesant November 15, 1663, says, 'Abelius Zetskroon has been 
 called by those of the Augsburg Confession who belong to the 
 Colony of New Amstel (Albany Records, vol. XII., p. 446)." 
 
 Page 16: 
 
 "For some years after the arrival of the English, but little attention 
 appears to have been given to religious matters at New Castle. The 
 notorious Rev. Lock or Lokenius seems to have been the only Swedish 
 minister, indeed, the only minister of any persuasion, on the Dela- 
 ware river for some years. During the year 1667, the Swedish Church 
 at Crane Hook near the mouth of the Christiana, was built, and about 
 that time the church at Swanwyck near New Castle, was abandoned." 
 
 Page 1 7 : 
 
 "Rev. Jacobus Fabritius, a Dutch or Polish Lutheran minister 
 who had come over from Holland in 1669, and was given charge of 
 the church at Albany, came to New Castle in 1670, (Albany Records, 
 
 12, 473)-"

 "The records of Old Swedes Church Philadelphia, show that Fa- 
 britius ceased to be rector in 1691, but do not tell when he died.

 "Aemelius De Ringh, about the time of the re-occupation of New 
 Castle by the English, was appointed Reader in the church and re- 
 ceived for several years more or less compensation by subscriptions 
 from the people .... How long De Ringh acted as reader 
 in the church the records do not show, put he was living, as appears 
 by the list of taxables, as late as 1689." 
 
 Page 27 : 
 
 "The next clergyman who was regularly appointed at New Castle 
 was a clergyman of the Church of England, the first minister of that 
 church, so far as any records show, who had ever held service on the 
 Delaware. He came to New Castle in December, 1677. He was 
 not regularly appointed by the court until the next March, as the 
 proceedings of the court on the 7th of that month will show." 
 
 Page 29 : 
 
 "The records do not show how long Mr. Yeo ministered to the 
 people at New Castle but probably for some months fully, and after- 
 wards, to a limited extent, until 1681." 
 
 Page 36 : 
 
 "As the men in authority at New Castle were generally Dutch, 
 and in faith Calvinists, they were probably not well satisfied with 
 Rev. John Yeo and his preaching and ministrations according to 
 the Church of England, so that we find a few months after Mr. Yeo's 
 arrival, on July 17, 1678, at a meeting of Justices an address was 
 prepared to be forwarded to the Governor-General by Mr. John Moll, 
 '1st to desire and humbly request his Honor the Governor to grant 
 us leave and permission to obtain and have an orthodox minister 
 (New Castle County. Rec. "B" 301). . . 
 
 "The justices seem not to have lost much time, after their request 
 was granted, in securing the services of a Dutch minister, as we find 
 Domine Petrus Tesschenmaker or Tesschemacker in New Castle early 
 in the year 1679." (O'Call. 3, 965; Albany Rec. 12, p. 633; and 
 New Castle Co. Rec. "B." 80). 
 
 Page 38: 
 
 "The records of this minister's life and ministrations in New Castle 
 are very meagre, and we therefore know very little of his work. He 
 was assessed in 1689, and probably remained in New Castle until 
 that year. He became about this time the minister at the Town of 
 Schenectady, New York, and was there only a short time when he 
 met with a tragic death in the massacre of the people of that place 
 on February 9, 1690, although his death was not intended. (O'Cal- 
 laghan, Vol. 1, pp. 300 and 305). So ended the life of the last Dutch 
 minister at New Castle." 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 97 
 
 From the foregoing authorities it is quite clearly es- 
 tablished that Carpentier was not here in 1657 nor sub- 
 sequently. A thorough investigation has been made 
 of all the records relating to New Netherland available 
 in this country without finding the name Carpentier 
 mentioned except in the instances quoted. Had he 
 been here, his name would have been mentioned in 
 some of the histories of ecclesiastical affairs, in histor- 
 ical works, court proceedings, tax lists, records relating to 
 lands or decedents' estates and similar records. 
 
 (Having established the relationship of Maria Jaquet 
 with the Rev. Casparus de Carpentier of Amsterdam, 
 the writer has undertaken an investigation of their an- 
 cestry.)

 "25. In the ship 'de grote Christoffel' goes over as free man 
 Jan Paulo Jacquet with his family and as he is unacquainted in that 
 country and intends to devote himself there to farming, we have not 
 been able nor wished to refuse him the desired recommendation, 
 the more so, because he has served the company in Brazil for many 
 years: therefore we recommend your Honor to assist the same as 
 much as possible, without disadvantage to the Company and after 
 having indicated to him some suitable place to allot under the cus- 
 tomary conditions as much land to him, as he may be able to cul-

 "Petrus Stuyvesant, on behalf of their Noble High Mightinesses, 
 the Lords States-General of the United Netherlands and the Noble 
 Lords-Directors of the General Privileged West-India Company in 
 the same, Director-General of New-Netherland, Curacao, Bonayro,

 Members of the High Council to All, who shall see, read or hear

98 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 and advancement of the affairs of the Honble Company and our 
 own on the Southriver of New-Netherland, a proper and qualified 
 person, to command there in our absence and manage everything, 
 Therefore, upon the good report and information given to us in re- 
 gard to the person of Jean Paul Jacquet and trusting therefore to 
 his piety, experience and fitness, we have engaged, commissioned 
 and appointed the same, as we hereby engage, commission and ap- 
 point the aforesaid Jean Paul Jacquet to be our Vice-Director and 
 Chief Magistrate on the Southriver of New-Netherland as well as for 
 the forts, territories and other places situate upon said river, to keep 
 good order for the security of Fort Casimir and other places, already 
 established or to be established and to give orders and have them 
 observed in all matters concerning trade, policy, justice and mili- 
 tary, also in regard to the soldiers, the ships' crews, free persons, 
 high and subaltern officers of whatever position and rank they might 
 be, who are there already or whom we may deem advisable to send 
 there in future; to assist in his position of Vice-Director in the man- 
 agement and command of the places and to keep everything in good 
 order for the service and welfare of the General Privileged West- 
 India Company, to administer law and justice to citizens as" well as 
 soldiers and to do further everything concerning his office and duties 
 agreeable to the instruction now given and in future to be given, 
 which a good and faithful Vice-Director is bound to do by the oath, 
 which he is to take at our hands. This having been done, we order 
 and command therefore hereby all and everybody, either servants 
 of the Honble Company or freemen living on the said river or who 
 may afterwards come there, of what nation or position they may be, 
 nobody excepted and especially also the present provisional Com- 
 mander there, that in our absence they receive, acknowledge and 
 respect, obey, the aforesaid Johan Paul Jacquet as our Vice-Director 
 and Chief Magistrate and give all help, favor and assistance, as much 
 as each may, whereas we thus have considered it advisable for the 
 service of the said Company and the advancement of this province. 
 Thus done and given at our Council meeting held in Fort Amsterdam 
 in New-Netherland under date as above and confirmed with our 
 seal impressed here in red wax. 
 
 "Provisional instructions for Jean Paul Jacquet, Vice-Director

 "The abovementioned Jean Paul Jacquet is to have, in our ab- 
 sence, supreme command and authority over all officers, soldiers 
 and freemen on the aforesaid river and the forts thereof, the first 
 place and vote in all council meetings, which meetings shall be called 
 only by order and direction of the Vice-Director; in them he shall pre- 
 sent all matters concerning the policy, justice, trade, privileges and 
 royalties, the Company and its Noble Administration and conclude 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 99 
 
 by a majority of votes and in case of a tie of votes he is to have a 
 double vote. 
 
 2. 
 
 "The council shall be formed, besides the Vice-Director, by 
 Andries Hudde, Elmerhuysen Cleyn and the two Sergeants, if the 
 affair is purely military or concerning the Company properly, but 
 if the affair is purely a civil one between freemen and the Company's 
 servants, then he shall take in place of the two sergeants two of the 
 most suitable freemen, as the case may demand it. 
 
 3- 
 "In this Council Andries Hudde as Secretary and Surveyor, 
 shall do the writing and pertinently annotate, register and book 
 all matters, propositions, resolutions, complaints, defaults, arrests 
 with the reasons thereof, also all judgments, sentences and decisions 
 and with the Vice-Director keep a good journal and daily record of 
 what might happen there, what ships and yachts come there, what 
 they bring, carry away and accomplish. 
 
 4- 
 
 "In the Fort, in which the Vice-Director happens to be, the key 
 of the Fort and the magazine shall be committed to him; and he 
 alone shall give the watch-word and have all general and special 
 authority, command and power and the subordinate officers not 
 more, than what is given them by the Vice-Director's order. 
 
 5- 
 "He shall strictly observe and have observed the placard and 
 ordinances made and published heretofore against the sale of brandy 
 or strong drinks to the savages, regarding the robbing of gardens 
 or plantations, the running about in the country, drinking on the 
 Sabbath, and profanation of the same. 
 
 "Nor shall he permit that the superior or subordinate officers 
 of the Company nor the soldiers absent themselves from the Fort 
 during the night without his special consent, nor that the free people, 
 especially the Swedes, who have their usual habitation outside, 
 remain inside without his knowledge and permission and he shall 
 by no means suffer or allow, that Fort Casimir be frequented or 
 visited too much either by them or by the savages; he must es- 
 pecially observe this upon the arrival of strange ships, yachts and 
 vessels. 
 
 7- 
 
 He must not suffer by any means, that ships or vessels go above 
 or below Fort Casimir to carry on a trade or negotiations with the 
 
100 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 savages or Christians, but the same must be compelled to remain 
 before or near Fort Casimir and trade there or on the shore just below 
 the Fort, for the greater security and to prevent mishaps. 
 
 8. 
 
 "He shall keep in good order and discipline the servants of the 
 Company, superintend their trainings and guard-duty and main- 
 tain Fort Casimir in a becoming state of defense, but if any of them 
 should request permission to plant, he may discharge some of them, 
 even though their stipulated term has not expired, but under the 
 condition and subscribed written promise to help defend, if necessary 
 the Fort against all and every one, who may at a future time desire 
 to attack the same: he shall also make all the freemen living around 
 there now or who may come in future, give the same promise under 
 oath and in case of refusal to promise it, he shall send the same (party) 
 hither by the first opportunity offering or make him leave. 
 
 9- 
 "In distributing land, he must above all take care, that villages 
 (bijeenwooninge) be formed of at least 16 or 20 persons or families 
 together and in order to prevent the immoderate desire for land he 
 shall, in place of tithes, exact from each morgen of land provision- 
 ally 12 stivers* annually. 
 
 10. 
 
 "To provide for the great expenses and costs already incurred 
 for Fort Casimir and still to be incurred, he shall, following the laud- 
 able custom of our Fatherland and of the place, demand and have 
 paid the tavernkeepers' excise in conformity to that, which is paid 
 here, to wit: 
 
 For a hogshead of French or Rhenish wine fA 2 °- 
 
 an anker of the same wine fl 4- 
 
 for an anker of brandy, Spanish wine or distilled 
 
 water A 7- 
 
 for a ton of imported beer fl 6. 
 
 for a ton of New-Netherland beer fl 4- 
 
 or a larger or small cask in proportion 
 
 He shall also demand this excise from those, who drink in company 
 or at drinking-bouts, but from those, who lay it up for home use, he 
 shall demand no excise until further orders. 
 
 11. 
 
 "He shall not grant building or farm lots on the edge of the val- 
 ley of Fort Casimir, to wit between the kil and the aforesaid Fort 
 
 * 24 cts. gold,

JAQUETT FAMILY 101 
 
 nor behind the Fort, but he shall reserve the land for reinforcements 
 and outworks of the Fort; likewise in order to favor more the con- 
 centrated settlements on the Southside of the Fort, he shall upon 
 occasion clear a good street behind the houses already built and 
 lay out the same in convenient order and lots of about 40 to 50 feet 
 width and one hundred feet length, the street to be at least 4 to 5 
 rods wide. 
 
 12. 
 
 "He must look well after the Swedes, who still are there; if any 
 of them might be found, who are not well affected toward the Hon ble 
 Company and our native country, he shall with all possible polite- 
 ness make them leave, and if feasible send them hither, to prevent 
 any more dissatisfaction. 
 
 "He shall try to have intercourse with the savages in all polite- 
 ness, but in the meantime be on his guard against them and other 
 foreign nations and not suffer that they or others come into the 
 Fort armed or in great numbers, by no means let them stay there 
 over night, which the inhabitants also ought to take to heart. That 
 however the natives may not in the meantime remain under the blue 
 sky and that not the least reason for complaints may be given to 
 them, it might be useful, that the servants of the Company together 
 with the free people made a house of bark outside of the Fort as 
 lodgings for those indians, who are not great Sachems. 
 
 14. 
 
 "It is further strongly recommended to the Vice-Director to 
 take and have taken at his first arrival, a proper inventory of the 
 ammunition, materials, provisions and other effects of the Company 
 and inquire of the present Commandant Dirck Smith, how the same 
 have been managed since our departure and what has become of 
 them, and to send us by the first chance offering a copy thereof and 
 proper evidence. 
 
 "Thus done and given at Fort Amsterdam in New-Netherland, 
 
 on the day as above."

 "To-day, the 8 th of December 1655 the following oath has been 
 taken by Jean Paul Jacquet before the Honorable Director-General 
 and Counsel: 
 
 "I promise and swear in the presence of Almighty God that I 
 will be obedient and faithful to their Noble High Mightinesses, the 
 Lords States-General of the United Netherlands, to the Noble Lords- 
 Directors of the Privileged West-India Company in the same and to 
 their Director-General and Council of New-Netherland now appointed 
 or in future to be appointed, that I will administer good law and 
 
102 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 justice, that I will maintain and advance as much as I can the Re- 
 formed religion, as the same is taught and preached here and in 
 the Fatherland conform to God's word and the Synod of Dortrecht, 
 that I will take care of the Fort and its safety to the best of my ability 
 and further will, pursuant to the instructions already given to me 
 or to be given in future, advance the service of the Company and 
 the welfare of the country, also do to the best of my abilities, what 
 a good and faithful Vice-Director is bound to do. So help me God 
 Almighty!" 
 
 March 29th, 1656, the arrival of the Swedish ship 
 "Mercurius" was announced, having 130 persons on 
 board. There was considerable objection, at first, to 
 permitting them to land, although they subsequently 
 were permitted. For full account of the proceedings 
 relating to the matter, see "Documents relating to the 
 Colonial History of the State of New York," vol. XII., 
 pp. 120, 122 and 129. 
 
 On p. 129 of the same work the Directors in Holland, 
 in a letter of June 14th, 1656, to Stuyvesant say: 
 
 "We are for the present satisfied with the appointment of Jean 
 Paul Jacquet as Vice-Director of the Southriver and will hope and 
 trust, that your honors have taken the step after having previously 
 ascertained, that his abilities are equal to his duties." 
 
 The same work beginning at p. 133, contains the " Min- 
 utes of the administration of Jean Paul Jacquet, Vice- 
 Director at the Delaware, and his Council." These pro- 
 ceedings were printed in the first edition of the Jaquett 
 Family but are now omitted as containing nothing of 
 any genealogical interest. 
 
 A number of petty complaints were alleged against 
 Jaquet, and, in a letter of April 20th, 1657, Stuyvesant 
 retired him from office — subsequent investigation, how- 
 ever, exonerated him: (See "Doc. rel. to Col. His. of 
 N. Y., vol. XII., supra, pp. 167-175). 
 
 March 26, 1669, he was confirmed in possession of 
 two hundred acres by Governor Francis Lovelace (Dover, 
 Del., York Records, p. 217). 
 
 May 23, 1 67 1, Governor Francis Lovelace confirmed 
 Jean Paul Jaquet in possession of a town lot at New 
 Castle (Deeds, Wil., Del., Liber A, vol. I, p. 17). 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 103 
 
 Sept. 23, 1676, he was appointed a Justice of the 
 Court at New Castle (Doc. rel. to the Col. His. of N. Y., 
 p. 558, and also the original commission in poss. of 
 the Pa. His. Soc, bound in "Miss. Papers, 165 5-1 805. 
 Three Lower Counties of Del.," a facsimile of which 
 is here produced), and was re-commissioned several 
 succeeding years. The Records of the Court during 
 his tenure have been printed in full in "Records of 
 the Court of New Castle in Delaware, 167 6-1 681, pub- 
 lished by the Colonial Society of Pennsylvania, 1904." 
 Many references are also contained in the 1st. Ed. Ja- 
 quett Gen. 
 
 1 In "Doc. rel. to the Col. His. of N. Y., pp. 565, 566, 
 568, 595, 598, 599, 600, reference is made to the com- 
 plaint of Jean Paul Jaquet against Major John Fenwick 
 relative to the dispossession of the former by the latter 
 of certain land on the East side of the Delaware River, 
 called "Stoonhooke" (Steynhooke), which Fenwick had 
 illegally given John Erickson. In "New Jersey Ar- 
 chives," 1 st. Ser., vol. I, p. 117, occurs the return made 
 by John Colier, Commander in Delaware, that July 20, 
 1677, he had restored possession of said premises, called 
 " Steen-hooke " to Jean Paul Jaquet. 
 
 Peter, Jan and Paul Jaquet are mentioned as taxables 
 living within the jurisdiction of the Court of New Castle 
 in November, 1677 (Record of the Court, Liber A, p. 
 197). They are again mentioned March 25, 1678, (His. 
 of Del., by J. Thos. Scharf, p. 153). 
 
 Jean Paul Jaquet was elected an Elder of Immanuel 
 Church at New Castle, Dec. 3, 1678 (His. of Ch., by 
 Holcomb, p. 35). 
 
 March 30, 1681, return was made of survey: "Laid 
 out for Jurian Boatsman of Cristina Creek a tract of 
 land called ' Long Hooke,' situate on West side of Cristina 
 Creek and between the land of John Paul Jaquet and 
 Fearnhooke." (Deeds, Wil., Del., Liber B, p. 229). 
 
 He received a grant from Penn for 200 acres Feb. 22, 
 1682, and a warrant for a resurvey of same Feb. 3, 1684 
 (Pa. Ar., 2nd Ser., vol. 7, 181). 
 
104 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 He drew the will of Peter Maslander, dated Jan. 2, 
 i68f (Wills. 1683-1713, p. 3. Wil., Del.). 
 
 Jean Paul Jaquet, Peter Jaquet, John Jaquet, Jr., 
 and Peter de Witt took oath of allegiance to the 
 English Feb. 22, 1683 (His. of Del., by Scharf, p. 612). 
 
 Jan. 8, 1683, John Jaquet, Peter Jaquet, Peter de Witt 
 and Teunis de Witt are mentioned as taxables (Court 
 Liber B, p. 295). 
 
 Feb. 18, i68f, John Jaquet, 80 acres, Teunis de Witt, 
 60 acres, and John Jaquet and 2 sons, 290 acres are men- 
 tioned as taxables (Same liber, p. 366). 
 
 It will be observed that he died in the interim be- 
 tween this reference and the next. The exact date of 
 his death has not been ascertained. 
 
 July 20, 1685, "upon ye petition of ye sons of Jean 
 Paul Jaquet, deceased, that no other person might keep 
 a ferry on their land but themselves, the court do in- 
 form ye petitioners they have already disposed of the 
 said ferry according to law" (Court Liber B, p. 379). 
 
 Jean Paul Jaquet and Maria Carpentier, his wife had 
 issue : 
 
 347. John. 
 
 348. Peter. 
 349 Paul. 
 
 VI. 347. John Jaquet, son of Jean Paul Jaquet (338) 
 and Maria de Carpentier, may have been born before his 
 father's arrival in this country. He married the daughter 
 of Peter Teunis DeWitt, of New Castle. On p. 103 of 
 first edition (Jaquett Gen.) it is stated that the word 
 "Paul" is omitted in the deed of Artman Haym — that, 
 however, is incorrect, as John had no other Christian 
 name, and Paul, as will hereafter appear, was the Chris- 
 tian name of his brother who settled in New Jersey. 
 The conveyance referred to is that of "Artman Haym 
 of Swanwich in the county of New Castle" to "John 
 Jaquet, Jun.," dated Mar. 30, 1685, for a tract on the 
 "Pirt Hooke" in said County (Liber A, vol. I, p. 112). 
 In the assignment by Hendrick and Jurian Jansen, heirs 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 105 
 
 and survivors of Jurian Jansen.to Peter and Paul Jaquet, 
 heirs and survivors of John Jaquet, late of the County 
 of New Castle, dated Aug. 18, 1697, it is impossible to 
 tell whether "John Jaquet" refers to Jean Paul Jaquet 
 (338) or his son John, Jr., (347) although the former is 
 probably the one. The Paul referred to was the son of 
 Jean Paul (338) and settled in New Jersey. (1st. Ed. 
 Jaquett Gen., p. 103; Liber K, vol. I, p. 314). 
 
 Jan. 28, 1676, Reynier Vauder Coolen conveys to 
 Peter DeWitt, both of New Castle Hundred (Liber A, 
 vol. I, p. 6). The will of Peter Teunis DeWitt was 
 dated Sept. 26, 1683, and proved March 14, 1684. He 
 mentions his wife Annieta and his children, the only 
 one of whom he mentions by name being his son Theu- 
 nis. Witnesses: John Barnes, Ambrose Baker, Peter 
 Falcker, Edmond Cantwell. At date of probate it is 
 stated that the widow Annieta was 
 dead and that none of the children 
 had attained age except the daughter 
 (name not mentioned) married to John 
 Jaquet, Jr., in consequence of which 
 administration was granted to him 
 ("Wills 1683-1713," p. 8, Wil., Del.). 
 The DeWitt family was settled at 
 Dordrecht, Holland, as early as 1295 
 (See Pedigree and arms in " Beschry- 
 vinge der stad Dordrecht," by Matthys 
 Balen, 1677. The arms are described in 
 Rietstap as de sin. a un lievre courant, 
 poursuivi d'un levrier, tous deux en chef, 
 et un chien braque courant en p., levant la tete vers le 
 lievre; le tout d'arg. C: le lievre, iss.; enters un vol. se

 John M. Smith and James Sorden. Probated Sept. 16, 
 1834 (Liber T, p. 102). See 1st Ed. for full account of 
 Major Jaquett. His portrait is reproduced from the 
 original in possession of the family of Benjamin F. Meth- 
 ven, Esq., (452). "History of Delaware," by J. Thos. 
 Scharf, p. 212: "On the South side of the Christiana 
 where it forms a point, is a tract of land for a century or 
 more known as Long Hook Farm. It was the patrimonial 
 estate of Major Peter Jaquett, who served with distinc- 
 tion as an officer in the First Delaware Regiment during 
 the Revolution. His remains were borne to the grave 
 by sixty young men, who thus wished to do honor to his 
 memory. . . . He was one of the first converts 
 of this region to Methodism during the visit here of 
 George Whitefield. His house was known far and near 
 and was visited by many persons who shared his hospi- 
 tality. Washington, Lafayette and Bishop White were 
 among his guests. He was one of the ideal patriots of 
 the great struggle for independence, and he never wearied 
 relating the stories of that eventful period, describing 
 many thrilling scenes in which he was a participant. He 
 was a great favorite of children, and loved to relate to 
 them the stories of the past. By his house on the North 
 side of the Causeway were tall sycamore trees, lofty pop- 
 lars and beautiful evergreens. The birds of early spring- 
 time early visited him, built their nests in the shady places 
 around his mansion, tuned their voices with sweet melody 
 to entertain the old veteran and his guests, and remained 
 until late in the fall. A beautiful ivy vine covered one 
 end of the dwelling. It was gathered from the castle 
 where Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned, and pre- 
 sented to Mrs. Jaquett. She, also, cultivated the first 
 Champney rose in this vicinity, and was a great lover of 
 the beautiful in nature. " 
 
 Ibid., p. 255: 
 
 " Peter Jaquett was born on the family estate of Long 
 Hook, on the Christiana opposite Wilmington, and enlisted 
 in Haslet's regiment early in 1776. He was by Haslet's 
 side when the latter was killed at the battle of Princeton, 
 
132 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 and subsequently joined Hall's battalion as Captain of the 
 Fourth Company. It was a Wilmington tradition that 
 when Baron De Kalb was fatally wounded at the Battle 
 of Camden he fell into the arms of Jaquett. 
 
 "The major served from 1776 until the close of the 
 war, spending but six weeks at home in all that time. He 
 was in thirty-two battles and many skirmishes, and was 
 twice wounded, though not severely. When Cornwallis' 
 surrender at Yorktown ended the war he was at the 
 South and was placed by General Greene in charge of a 
 party of sick and wounded men, with instructions to 
 convey them home, which he succeeded in doing after 
 many hardships. Passing through Virginia, they were 
 made welcome at the home of a patriot, where a lady 
 presented Jacquett with some gold pieces which she had 
 secreted. In after years he repaid her heirs the principal 
 and interest, amounting to over five hundred dollars. 
 He arrived at home, broken down in health, to find that 
 his estates had almost gone to ruin during his absence. 
 His physician directed him to take a voyage to the West 
 Indies in search of renewed vigor, but he had no money 
 to spend on such a trip. Joseph A. Tatnall, the miller, 
 offered him twelve hundred barrels of flour, with the 
 proceeds of which he paid the expenses of his journey 
 and returned in full physical soundness. He survived 
 until September 13, 1834, and was eighty years old when 
 he died. He was buried by the side of his wife, Eliza 
 Price, of Chester, Pa., in the Old Swedes' Cemetery. 
 The stone above his grave records his eminent services to 
 his country. He left no issue. "

 In speaking of the Regiment of St. Clair, is quoted, " I 
 distinctly recollect two of the officers of this regiment, 
 Major Bennet and Major Jacquett. . . . Major 
 Peter Jacquett was a small, thick set man. His family 
 were quite large land-holders in New Castle Hundred. 
 After the war he settled on his farm at the end of the 
 Causeway, on the road from Wilmington to New Castle, 
 and lived there till his death in 1834. He and Bennett, 
 unlike soldiers generally, were not friends ; they had not 
 spoken to each other for years prior to Jacquett' s death. 
 From what I have heard of Jacquett, it was a hard mat- 
 ter for any one to keep on speaking terms with him. 
 He was a cross, morose, quarrelsome man. Upon one 
 occasion, having lost some wheat, he, without cause, 
 accused a neighbor, a very respectable man, a Mr. Thomas 
 Tatlow, of stealing it, and wherever he went he was open 
 and loud in his assertion that 'Tom Tatlow was a thief.' 
 Tatlow sued him for slander, and recovered quite a heavy 
 verdict. The late Judge Booth, who was his counsel, in 
 explaining to him his liability for his charge against 
 Tatlow, told him that certain language was actionable 
 in itself, that is, if he called Tatlow a thief, or charged 
 him with any other felony, Tatlow could recover without 
 showing any special damage, but that there were certain 
 names which he could call him, without rendering himself 
 liable to damages, unless Tatlow could show special dam- 
 age. This explanation of the Judge was the old soldier's 
 chance. He persuaded the Judge to put these words on 
 paper, and wherever and whenever he afterward met 
 Tatlow, he would out with his paper, and beginning at 
 the first would go through the roll of names, so long as 
 Tatlow remained in earshot.

 "The inscription upon his tomb in the old Swedes' 
 Church, in Wilmington, states: 
 
 "That he was born April 6 th - 1754, and died upon his 
 farm at Crane Hook, September 13, 1834, aged 80 years. 
 
 "That he joined the Delaware Regiment, January 4 th - 
 1776, and was in every general engagement under Wash- 
 ington which took place in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New 
 Jersey, New York and the Eastern States; was ordered 
 South to the Southern Army under Bates, and with the 
 brave De Kalb was in the battle of Camden, where the 
 Delaware Regiment of eight companies was reduced to 
 two, of ninety-six men each, and when the command 
 devolved on Kirkwood and himself as oldest captains. 
 Was in the battles of Guilford, second battle of Camden, 
 siege of '96, and battle of the village of that name ; battle 
 of Eutaw Springs, and in every other battle under Greene, 
 until the capture of Cornwallis at Yorktown.

 House of Assembly, of the Delaware State, now sitting

 "We, the Officers of the Delaware Regiment, do, in the 
 most grateful manner, thank the Honourable, the House 
 of Assembly, for the two generous Resolves they were 
 pleased to pass in our favor. But whilst we thus express 
 our gratitude, we cannot but complain, that through 
 some defect in the Resolves, or neglect in those who were 
 intrusted with the execution of them, we find our situa- 
 tion little better than it was before they were passed. We 
 have yet received but two months of the supplies allowed, 
 and have no prospect of receiving any more, as Colonel 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 135 
 
 Craighead informs the Commanding officer in a letter, 
 dated October 7 th ' '79, that he has received but 1400 
 pounds to purchase a quarterly supply of necessaries, 
 that it is inadequate to the purpose, and therefore desires 
 we will each take a dividend of that money in lieu of the 
 necessaries which we are entitled to receive from him, by 
 the Resolve of the Honourable House. This desire we 
 must refuse to comply with, for we cannot conceive that 
 the Honourable House would wish we should compound 
 with Colonel Craighead, and accept one-third of the value, 
 instead of the articles; as this would, in a very great 
 measure, deprive us of the benefit of the Resolve, and 
 again subject us to suffer by the depreciation of our cur- 
 rency, which evil their resolve was generously intended to 
 prevent. 
 
 "We further beg leave to acquaint the Honourable 
 House that of the suit of clothes, which they have ordered 
 us to be supplied with, though the season is so far ad- 
 vanced, none of us have received a full suit, some, not one 
 article, and in general, we want many things that are 
 difficult to obtain, and cannot be dispensed with at this 
 season, but at the risk of our health. 
 
 "We would also beg leave to represent to the Honour- 
 able House, how necessary a part of an officer's dress a 
 hat is, and that we imagine a mistake only was the cause 
 of its not being enumerated among the other articles of 
 clothing, and, therefore, hope they will be pleased to 
 allow us that useful article. We also hope the Honourable 
 House will continue their bounty by allowing us a suit of 
 clothes yearly, at least whilst the currency remains de- 
 preciated. 
 
 "Laboring under many difficulties which the distance 
 from our respective homes, and the general depreciation 
 of the money had thrown among us, we were once before 
 obliged to make application to the Honourable House 
 for their assistance in removing or alleviating them. 
 The spirit of generosity shown in their resolves on that 
 occasion, encourages us to submit this to their con- 
 sideration, confident that the welfare and honor of the 
 
136 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 Regiment, that claims this patronage, are next to the 
 happiness of their country, their greatest wish, and 
 that upon this representation of our case, they will 
 minutely enquire, from what cause their resolves have 
 not been executed, and make such provision for their 
 execution, as will in future prevent applications of this 
 kind from their

 Inscription on the tomb of Major Peter Jaquett. 
 
 "Sacred to the Memory of Major Peter Jaquett, a 
 distinguished officer of the Revolution Army, who died 
 at his residence— Long Hook farm — near this City, 
 September 13 th ' A. D. 1834, in the 80 th year of his age, 
 having been born on the 6 th of April, 1755. On the 
 fourth of January, 1776, he joined the Delaware Regi- 
 ment, and until April, 1780, he was in every general 
 engagement under Washington, which took place in 
 Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and 
 the Eastern States. He was then ordered to join the 
 Southern army under General Gates; and with the 
 brave De Kalb he was in the battle of Camden, of the 
 1 6th of August, in which the Delaware Regiment, con- 
 sisting of eight companies, was reduced to two only, 
 of ninety-six men each, the command of which devol- 
 ved upon his brave comrade Kirkwood and himself, as 
 the oldest officers left of this gallant band. He was 
 also in the battle of Guilford Court House, the second 
 battle of Camden, and in the battle of Eutaw Springs. 
 He assisted in the siege of '96, and capture of the vil- 
 lage of that name; and was also in every action and 
 skirmish under General Green, in whose army he re- 
 mained until the capture of Lord Cornwallis at York- 
 town. He returned to his native State in 1782, and in 
 1794 married Eliza P. Price, daughter of Elisha Price, 
 of Chester, Pa., and, as a farmer, he lived upon his 
 paternal estate until his death. The brave and hon- 
 ored soldier — the kind and obliging neighbor and friend. 
 
 " Beneath this stone also repose the remains of Eliza 
 P. Jaquett, 
 
 Wife of Major Peter Jaquett, who was born Novem-

138 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 fectionate and devoted wife, a kind and humane mis- 
 tress, and a warm and untiring friend. In early life 
 she became a regular member of the Episcopal Church,

 votedly attached, trusting to her Saviour alone for par- 
 don and forgiveness, and in his gracious promises for 
 the hope of a blessed immortality.

 "Obituary of Maj. Peter Jaquett. 
 
 "Preservative of the name and fame of a good man 
 and a hero, we are asked to republish the following 
 obituary of Major Peter Jaquett, who died September 
 12,* 1834: 
 
 "The deceased was a soldier of the Revolution, and 
 one of the bravest of those brave men who have immor- 
 talized the most glorious page in our country's history. 
 In January, 1775, at the age of 20, he received the ap- 
 pointment of lieutenant in the gallant regiment of Del- 
 aware, and in January following was promoted to a 
 captaincy. In both ranks his gallant friend and com- 
 rade, Kirkwood, was his senior by one day. From the 
 very commencement of the war to its close, Major Ja- 
 quett was in constant and active service, with the single 
 intermission of a furlough of above three months. Dur- 
 ing that period he was engaged in thirty battles in the 
 field, besides sieges and storms. In every general en- 
 gagement that was fought between New York and 
 Charleston, Kirkwood commanding the first, and Ja- 
 quett the second company of Delaware, fought shoulder 
 to shoulder in the front of the battle — for the Delaware 
 regiment was always there. We dwell with melancholy, 
 but justifiable and patriotic pride, on the merits and 
 
 * 13th. 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 139 
 
 services of that gallant corps, which during the War 
 of Independence enlisted more than 4000 men, and at 
 its close was reduced by battle and death to two com- 
 panies, Kirkwood's and Jaquett's collected from the 
 fragments of repeated and desperate conflicts. Major 
 Caleb P. Bennett, the present Governor of our State, 
 remains the only survivor of the commissioned officers 
 of the regiment. Delaware makes but a poor figure on 
 the pension list; few, very few of her Revolutionary 
 soldiers survive to partake of the bounty or swell the 
 burden of their country — their bones lay whitening on 
 the fields of Princeton, Long Island, Brandywine, Ger- 
 mantown, Monmouth, Camden, Cowpens, Guilford Court 
 House, Ninety-six and Eutaw — days in which the Del- 
 aware regiment was relied on as the elite of the army, 
 always prompt with the bayonet, and never turning 
 its back upon the foe. 
 
 " In all these battles Major Jaquett was an ardent par- 
 ticipator; at Camden, where the Delaware regiment was 
 cut down from eight companies to two, and he and Kirk- 
 wood were the only captains that survived — where the 
 brave De Kalb, expiring under multiplied wounds, with 
 his dying breath expressed his admiration and invoked 
 the blessing of heaven upon the brave Delawares and 
 Marylanders who had fought by his side; at Cowpens, 
 where the Delawares and Marylanders, under Col. How- 
 ard, turned the tide of battle, routed Tarleton's legion and 
 secured a splendid victory; at Eutaw, where they ad- 
 vanced with trailed arms upon the chivalry of England, 
 and drove them from the field at the bayonet's point. 
 In these, and in all the general actions fought in the 
 Southern and Middle States, Jaquett and his comrades 
 were to be seen fighting where the battle was hottest, and 
 never retreating but from the sternest necessity, and then 
 with their faces to the foe. Many instances of the gallant 
 bearing of Major Jaquett have been related to us, one of 
 which we cannot forbear to put on record. In the dis- 
 astrous battle of Camden, and in the heat of that bloody 
 conflict, the Baron De Kalb, while standing a little in ad- 
 
140 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 vance of the Delaware regiment, had his horse shot under 
 him, and as he lay endeavoring to extricate himself, a 
 British horseman rushed upon him and was upon the 
 point of putting the gallant veteran to the sword, when 
 Jaquett sprung from the line, drove his spontoon through 
 the Englishman, in sight of both armies, secured his 
 horse and placed the Baron upon it. At this moment De 
 Kalb received a fatal wound and fell into the arms of 
 Jaquett, to whom his last words were expressive of grati- 
 tude and admiration of his daring conduct. 
 
 " When the war had ceased and his country's independ- 
 ence was secured, Major Jaquett retired to his paternal 
 farm — Long Hook — on the banks of the Christiana, where 
 he resided to the day of his death. Here, retired from the 
 busy scenes of the world, he led the life of an independent 
 gentleman — seeking nothing for himself, but taking a 
 warm interest in the growing prosperity of the country 
 which he had so well served. His constitution, un- 
 broken by the toils and sufferings of eight campaigns, 
 was vigorous and robust ; his habits temperate and regu- 
 lar ; and he enjoyed uninterrupted health until within a 
 few months, when the death of his wife — she who for 
 forty years had been the faithful and affectionate partner 
 of his joys and cares — struck a blow from which he never 
 recovered. The heart of the old soldier broke under this 
 dispensation — he dragged out a weary existence for a few 
 months, but the spirit and animation which in a remark- 
 able degree distinguished him, had fled forever. 
 
 "His death was characteristic of his life — he met the 
 king of terrors with the calm intrepidity of a soldier, 
 and just before he died, feeling his end approaching, he 
 directed his attendants to raise him on his feet, that he 
 might die standing — and breathed his last while they 
 were complying with his wishes. 
 
 " His remains were interred on the 15th, in the burying 
 ground of the old Swedes' Church, with all the honors due 
 to a distinguished soldier and patriot. A detachment of 
 the Washington Grays, under Lieut. Ritchie, attended to 
 pay the last military honors to the veteran. Sixty young 
 men from Wilmington repaired to his residence to bear

 his honored remains to their resting place, a distance of 
 more than two miles. The Governor of the State, his 
 last surviving comrade, was there as principal mourner; 
 the Mayor and City Council and a vast concourse of citi- 
 zens closed the procession. The bells were tolling during 
 the day, and a volley of musketry fired by the detachment 
 gave notice that the grave had closed over as brave and 
 true a soldier as ever drew his sword for his country."

 The following obituary notice, written by the Rev. 
 Dr. Van Pelt, appeared in The Episcopalian of June 2, 
 1869: 
 
 "JAQUETT. — The Rev. Mr. Jaquett, whose departure from this 
 life was announced in the last issue of The Episcopalian, was a native 
 
144 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 of this City and a grandson of Dr. Joseph Pfeiffer, an eminent physi- 
 cian, well known to the inhabitants of Philadelphia of the last gen- 
 eration. 
 
 "He was ordained both Deacon and Presbyter by Bishop White, 
 and was, by him, much respected for his piety and learning. 
 
 "At an early period of his ministry he became Rector of St. James 
 the Greater, Bristol, Pa., and subsequently of St. Matthew's, Francis- 
 ville, Philadelphia. His health having failed, he assumed the charge 
 of no other Parish; but, while strength permitted, cheerfully, and 
 without remuneration, assisted his clerical brethren in the discharge 
 of their various duties. Of him it may be truly said, that he never 
 turned a deaf ear to the cry of distress, or hesitated to bear the con- 
 solation of religion to the habitation of woe. 
 
 ' ' Being thoroughly acquainted with the original languages of the 
 Scriptures, he devoted a large portion of his time to the instruction 
 of theological students in Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriac and Arabic; and 
 not a few are there of our Bishops and Presbyters who are indebted 
 to him for much that they know of these important studies. 
 
 "In connection with the late Isaac Leeser, V. D. M. Synagogue, 
 Mikva Israel, Philadelphia, he edited trie first American copy of the 
 Hebrew Bible; and in the Latin introduction of that work, by Mr. 
 Leeser, the literary and linguistic attainments of Mr. Jaquett are most 
 gracefully acknowledged. 
 
 " It is a remarkable fact, that in the library of the deceased, there 
 is not to be found a single volume of published sermons. In his 
 preparations for the pulpit he depended solely on his Bible, the aid 
 of God's Holy Spirit, and the promptings of his own well furnished 
 mind. 
 
 "With the Chinese, Japanese, Persian, Turkish, Sanscrit, Gaelic, 
 Welsh, Irish and Manx he had made himself more or less familiar. 
 In reality, it may be asserted that there was scarcely a tongue spoken 
 among the nations of the earth of which he had not some knowledge. 
 To those who are curious about these matters a sight of the books 
 which he possessed would be a rare treat. Among them are copies 
 of most of the grammars and lexicons that have ever issued from 
 the press. 
 
 "But better than all this treasure of human lore, was the religious 
 character of our deceased friend. He was, pre-eminently, ' a man 
 of God.' Deprived for the last seven years of sight, unable to distin- 
 guish between the glare of noonday and midnight darkness, not a 
 murmur escaped his lips. He endured this severe dispensation of 
 Providence with a patience and resignation which were emphatically 
 wonderful. No one visiting him would have supposed for a moment 
 that he was bearing so heavy a load of sorrow. Such entire forget- 
 fulness of self, such sweet serenity of mind, such strong faith in the 
 Divine wisdom and goodness, such heartfelt interest in the welfare 
 and happiness of others, it has never been our lot to behold. It 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 145 
 
 would be no departure from truth to say that he was pure-minded 
 as an infant, thinking evil of none, esteeming all others better than 
 himself. Seeking not the honor that man can give, his only desire 
 appeared to be to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord 
 and Saviour Jesus Christ. Among the last distinct words which he 
 was heard to utter, were these — 'I have no doubt of my acceptance 
 with God.' 
 
 His death was adverted to with terms of respect to 
 his memory by Bishop Stevens in his Episcopal address 
 to the 86th Diocesan Convention of this State. 
 
 In a letter (the original of which is in the possession 
 of E. J. Sellers) by George Sharswood, Chief Justice 
 of Penna. (who had been a student of Mr. Jaquett of 
 the Syriac language), to Townsend Ward, Esq., Sec- 
 retary of the Historical Society of this State, he is thus 
 referred to : 
 
 "My Dear Sir, 
 
 "I was very much pleased to observe the notice of the Rev. Joseph 
 Jaquett in a note to Acrelius. I wish I had been consulted before — 
 for I think I could have added some traits of his character which 
 would be interesting. That he was a very profound and accurate 
 Oriental scholar is unquestionable. He published together with the 
 learned Jewish Rabbi Rev. Isaac Leeser in 1850 an edition of the 
 Hebrew Bible — remarkable for its perfect correctness. I doubt if 
 there is an error in a point in the whole volume. Mr. Jaquett was 
 a firm believer in the antiquity and inspiration of the Hebrew point 
 — that they were the work of Ezra and the men of the Great Syna- 
 gogue — U pon the return of the Jews from the captivity, when the 
 language ceased to be spoken, for the purpose of preserving its proper 
 pronunciation, and that in this work as in collecting the canon they 
 were under the immediate influence of the Holy Spirit. This was 
 with him a favorite theme and he would descant upon it by the hour. 
 He was also what has been termed a literalist— a believer in the exact 
 fulfillment according to the letter of the prophecies in regard to the 
 personal advent of our Saviour and the latter-day. 'Yes,' I have 
 often heard him say ' his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount 
 of Olives which is before Jerusalem on the east and the Mount of 
 Olives shall cleave, &c.' Zech. xiv, 4- His religion was of the purest 
 and best kind— recognizing as a Christian brother all who loved the 
 Lord Jesus Christ without regard to sect or party. He began to 
 take great interest before he died in the question of the agreement 
 of science with the Bible, and its confirmation or otherwise by the 
 researches of Archaeologists. But to meet the most attractive feature 
 in his character was his simplicity. He was guileless as a child. I 
 
146 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 never saw a man who so entirely possessed that ornament of a meek 
 and quiet spirit which in the' sight of God is of great price. I have 
 seen him in a variety of circumstances — one under a very great trial — 
 and I could not but admire the work of grace in the human soul in 
 producing from our nature such a model of humility, gentleness, 
 forbearance and love. He was the most tender and affectionate of 
 husbands and fathers, and it is a great source of satisfaction with me 
 that it fell to my lot to be of his profit and to enjoy his friendship 
 and confidence.

 "Pa. Mag.," vol. XL, p. 218, by D r - W m - Henry Egle: 
 
 "Hunn, John, of the County of Philadelphia, was born in 1746, 
 in Kent County, Delaware. His grandfather, Nathaniel Hunn, was 
 an early settler on the Delaware. Of his children, John, the third 
 
 son, married Tabitha , and had issue, John, Caleb, David, 
 
 Susanna, and Elizabeth. John, the subject of our sketch, was brought 
 up to a seafaring life, and was a captain in the merchant service at 
 the breaking out of the War for Independence. He was an ardent 
 patriot, and was intrusted with very important duties. In July, 
 1776, he was in command of the privateer 'Security;' while in the 
 following summer, when it was momentarily expected that the 
 British fleet would attempt to pass up the Delaware, at the request 
 of General Washington he was sent by the Council of Pennsylvania 
 to the capes to give the earliest possible notice of the appearance of 
 the enemy's vessels. In the campaign in and around Philadelphia 
 
152 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 he seems to have been in active military service. In the subsequent 
 events he was not an idle spectator, his energies being principally 
 devoted to perfect plans to destroy the power of the enemy at sea. 
 When the war closed he retired to private life, only coming to the 
 front in times of great political excitement. As a Constitutionalist 
 he was chosen to the Pennsylvania Convention in 1787, and signed 
 the ratification. He took a prominent part at the meeting held in 
 Philadelphia, June 22, 1795, in opposition to the Jay Treaty, and 
 was appointed one of the Committee to prepare a memorial to the 
 President. Captain Hunn died at Wilmington, Delaware, April 22, 
 1 810, while on a visit to his daughter, M re - Rodney. The following 
 description of him is given by his grand-daughter: 
 
 "'He adhered to the old colonial style of dress, deep brown cloth 
 with figured buff waistcoat, stock of fine cambric with tabs to buckle 
 behind, ruffled shirt, and short clothes, buckled at the knee, white 
 lamb-wool stockings, dried on boards cut to fit the shape, and blue 
 buckles; a bright English rosy complexion, full deep brown eyes; 
 frequented, as did all gentlemen, the Coffee-House on Second Street, 
 and was often called in to settle disputed questions or rights, as 
 honest Captain Hunn.' 
 
 "Captain Hunn married, in 1776, Mary Sillsbee,* daughter of 
 Nathaniel Sillsbee and Judith Jacquet, a descendant of John Paul 
 Jacquet, who came from Sweden in 1650^ and was appointed by 
 the Dutch commander on the South River. She died on the 20 th 
 of November, 1805, aged fifty-three years. Of their children who 
 reached maturity, Susan m. Caesar A. Rodney, of Delaware, and 
 Maria m. Samuel Stockton Voorhees, of Philadelphia." 
 
 Captain Hunn and Mary his wife had issue:

 "Caesar Augustus Rodney, b. in Dover, Delaware, Jan. 4, 1772; 
 d. in Buenos Ayres, South America, July 10, 1824. He was the son 
 of Thomas Rodney, a distinguished jurist, and nephew of Caesar 
 Rodney, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Caesar A. Rodney 
 graduated at the University of Pennsylvania in 1789, studied law 
 and was admitted to the bar in 1793, and practised at Wilmington, 
 Del. He was elected to Congress from Delaware as a Democrat, 
 serving from Oct. 17, 1803, until March 3, 1805; was a member of

 t This should be 1654. 
 
JAQUETT FAMILY 153 
 
 the Committee of Ways and Means, and one of the managers in the 
 impeachment of Judge Samuel Chase. In 1807 he was appointed by- 
 President Jefferson Attorney General of the United States, which 
 place he resigned in 181 1. During the war with Great Britain in 
 1812 he commanded a rifle corps in Wilmington, which was after- 
 ward changed to a light artillery company, which did good service 
 on the frontiers of Canada. 
 
 "In 1 8 13 he was a member of the Delaware Committee of Safety. 
 He was defeated for Congress, and in 181 5 was State Senator from 
 New Castle County. In 18 17 he was sent to South America by 
 President Monroe as one of the Commissioners to investigate and 
 report upon the propriety of recognizing the independence of the 
 Spanish-American republics, which course he strongly advocated 
 on his return to Washington. 
 
 "In 1820 he was re-elected to Congress, and in 1822 he became 
 a member of the U. S. Senate, being the first Democrat that had a 
 seat in that body from Delaware. He served until Jan. 27, 1823, 
 when he was appointed Minister to the United Provinces of La Plata. 
 With John Graham he published 'Reports on the Present State of 
 the United Provinces of South America.' London, 18 19."

 Paul Jaquet and Mary , his wife, had issue: 
 
 850. John, eldest son. 
 
 851. Paul; inherited his father's land at White Clay Creek, 
 
 Delaware, and, doubtless, lived there, as he disappears 
 from the Salem records. 
 
 852. Peter; he had from his father the land at Penn's Neck 
 
 called "Ard Johnson's Land," being 95 acres, upon which 
 he resided. He d. in 1721, as his will, dated Nov. 27,

 land at New Castle, Del. She is the Maria (4) mentioned 
 in first edition at p. 107, where she is incorrectly placed 
 as dau. of John Paul Jaquet (2), the latter being John 
 only, and her father being Paul. The error in first edition 
 was due to the fact that it was not known that Jean 
 Paul Jaquet (338) had three sons, one of whom, Paul, 
 settled in N. J., which was discovered by finding the bap- 
 
158 JAQUETT FAMILY 
 
 tism of the son Paul, already mentioned. She m. Baron 
 Isaac Baner (or Banner). He came to Pennsylvania circa 
 1695, and first lived at Phila. He had been in the serv- 
 ice of William III. of England. He spent some time at 
 Christiana and went to Penn's Neck, where he m., the 
 ceremony being performed by a magistrate of the peace, 
 according to the custom. He d. Nov. n, 17 13, and was 
 bur. Nov. 14, 1713 (Swedesboro Rec). His widow and 
 children went to Sweden in 1727. He is said to have 
 been a grandson of General John Baner, who succeeded 
 Gustavus Adolphus in the command of the Swedish armies. 
 The Rev. Mr. Lidenius, upon his return to Sweden in 
 1724, represented to the Lieutenant General, Baron John 
 Baner, and also to the Royal Counsellor, Count Axel Baner, 
 the condition of the children of Baron Isaac Baner in 
 America, in consequence of which they were brought to 
 Sweden in 1727. (For fuller account, see 1st ed., pp. 
 107, 108, and Acrelius' "His. of New Sweden," p. 324). 
 Baron Isaac Baner was a witness to his mother-in-law's 
 will, where his name is spelled Banner. They had issue:

 VIII 850 John Jaquet, eldest son of Paul Jaquet 
 
 (349) and Mary , inherited his father's land called 
 
 "Steyne Hook," at Penn's Neck, Salem County, New 
 Jersey, where he resided. He was of full age Jan. 8, 
 1 7 14-15, when he conveyed a lot of four acres to St. 
 George Church at Penn's Neck. 
 
 In the "History of New Sweden" by Acrelius, p. 323 
 (in possession of the Penn. His Soc), it is stated: "Jean 
 Jaquett gave two acres* of land for the purpose [of build -

PHILIPPIN FAMILY 
 
 The arms of the Philippin family have been repro- 
 duced from "Armoiries neufchateloises tirees des Rolles 
 
 bourgeois et des Manuscrits de la 
 Ville et Biblioteque de Neufchatel 
 publices par Maurice Tripet et Jules 
 Colin. Institut heraldrique. Neuf- 
 chatel, 1893. 
 
 The illustration, it is stated, is from 
 a manuscript of 1550. It should be 
 described as gu. tin tertre de trots 
 coupe aux de sin., somme de deux 
 palmes adossees d'arg. Rietstap de- 
 scribes the arms as d'arg. a un tertre 
 de trots coupeaux de sin., somme de 
 deux palmes adossees du meme, ace. en chef d'une etoile (5) 
 de gu. This description was probably adopted later for 
 differentiation. 
 
 The family appears to have come from Metz in Lor- 
 raine, France. 
 
 I. 1. Girard Philippin is the first of the family to 
 whom the ancestry has been traced. Extracts from the 
 Registers of the Council, Government Archives, Geneva : 
 April 28, 1 410, Girard Philippin from Metz in Lorena 
 (Lorraine), centurerius, was received in suffertam (as a 
 resident) . 
 
 Tuesday, in the feast of the beheading of blessed John, 
 May 6, 1410, was received as a bourgeois Girardus 
 Philipi [ni] from Mes in Lorena, centurerius, an inhabi- 
 tant of Geneva, in manner and form as above, he to pay 
 two florins within the feast of Michael, two within An-

 Lord. He gives security through Jacobum Pichot. 
 Girard Philippin had issue: 
 
 2. Johannes. 
 
 II. 2. Johannes Philippin, son of Girard Philippin 
 (i), m. Jaquemine, dau. of Peter Balme (des Balmes), 
 July 28, 1447; he made acknowledgment of holding 
 lands at Geneva, which land his father Girard Philippin 
 purchased of Peter Bollet alias Jusset (Grosses du 
 chapitre de Saint Perre, No. 26). 
 
 Records of the Council (in latin) : Oct. 29, 1460, came 
 Johannes Philippin, with a number of others, who peti- 
 tioned for leave to convene a general council concerning 
 leva facta, etc. (slight matters), which petition was allowed 
 and the next day was fixed for the same. (In Latin) :

 to Bartholomew De Monte, alias Bernardi, de Bona 
 merchant, bourgeois of Geneva, certain land at Geneva. 
 
 The Balme (des Balmes) family was settled at Geneva 
 at an early date. In "Armorial Genevois," page 48, it 
 is thus referred to: des Balmes— Les Balmes, from 
 Sillingy, Geneva. First member received as a bourgeois 
 was Henri, a jurisconsul in 1354. A member of the family 
 was Syndic in 1354; of the Council of One Hundred in 
 
174

 1520; of the Council of Two Hundred in 1533 ; Chauoine 
 
 (Canon) in 1323. It became extinct at Geneva in the 
 
 sixteenth century. 
 
 The arms reproduced are from 
 the same work, which also states :

 7. Jean. 
 
 IV. 7. Jean Philippin, son of Anthony Philippin, (4), 
 is thus referred to by Mr. Louis Dufour-Vernes, the State 
 Archivist at Geneva: 
 
 "Jean Philippin was a citizen of Geneva. In a deed 
 of Notary Aime Santeur, I, 156, he is called 'Lord of 
 Pierre,' the name of a locality with a castle, close to 
 Collogne, in the land of Gex. He was born about 1491. 
 and died at the Molard at the age of ninety, Sept. 
 5, 1 581. On the 26th of April, 1525, he founded 
 with Odinet Bitry, a merchant of Dijon, before Tres- 
 billon, a royal notary, a partnership, which had its head- 
 quarters at the Molard. It was dissolved Oct. 8, 1527, 
 (Notary Claude de Compois, vol. VI, p. 187), before 
 Claude de Compois, a notary at Geneva, with full set- 
 tlement of all claims. Undoubtedly Bitry was often 
 absent on account of the business of the house, for on 
 the 7th of Sept., 1525 (de Compois, IV, 159), he 
 gave Philippin charge to direct improvements and re- 
 pairs of a house with tower of his own at Pougny, in 
 the land of Gex. The relations between them dated 
 before their association, for on the 27th of Feb., 
 1524 (same Notary, III, 259), Bitry gave to Philippin 
 a letter of attorney to recover certain sums of money. 
 The latter retained his relations with la Bourgoyne. 
 In 1548 the Council permitted him (he was a syndie 
 still) to go into that country for ten or twelve days, 
 in order to transact some business. 
 
 "Jean Philippin had a sister, Antoina, who was mar- 
 ried to Pierre Pasteur, bourgeois. By a last will which 
 
176 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 
 
 she made December 9, 1534 (same Notary, II, 134), it 
 is seen that Jean Philippin had daughters to whom she 
 leaves bequests, and she appoints him executor of her 
 will. Jean Philippin was a Member of the Council of 
 Two Hundred in 1530 and of the Small Council in 1533. 
 He was elected Syndic Feb. 7, 1535, and subsequently 
 every four years, in 1540, 1544, 1548 (First Syndic) and 
 1552. May 2, 1536, report came to the council that 
 Councillor Jean Philippin was detained in Dijon and it 
 was resolved to send thither as an ambassador his cousin 
 Jean Favre to have him released. In 1545 Philippin 
 was appointed Lieutenant of Police. 
 
 "As was often the case in those times, he was very 
 peremptory, and one of those Genevans who saw in 
 the religious reformation nothing but a means to gain 
 political independence. He did not always render the 
 required obedience even to the civil power. Thus it 
 was that on the 10th of Aug., 1546, when holding 
 the high office of Lieutenant of Police, the Small Coun- 
 cil sharply rebuked him for having spoken ill of min- 
 isters who preached against the pope, for having re- 
 leased Jean Favre, a notorious blasphemer, and for hav- 
 ing refused to work at the trenches, saying that the 
 Seigniory was rich enough to have fortifications made 
 without his aid, &c. 
 
 "The following year, 1547, in the month of June, he 
 was sent as Deputy to Bale, in order to obtain recovery 
 of the territory of Thiez, a tract of land not far from 
 Geneva, which was taken from the Republic by the 
 Duke of Savoy pursuant to the conquest of Chablais 
 by the people of Berne. 
 
 "In 1550 Philippin was appointed Hospitaler and Re- 
 ceiver of Grains for the tax levied by the Seigniory; 
 later again sent as Deputy to Bale for an affair concern- 
 ing some individual. In 1556 he was made Castellan 
 (governor) of the territory of Peney. 
 
 "Philippin was not reappointed Syndic in 1556, al- 
 though recommended by the Small Council of the Gen- 
 eral Council (i.e. the whole of bourgeois and citizens). 
 
PHILIPPIN FAMILY 
 
 177 
 
 He was then sixty-five years old. He left the Small 
 Council in 1557 and the Council of Sixty as well as 
 that of the Two Hundred in 1558. He continued occu- 
 pying himself, but sought to get rid of business. Thus 
 in 1566 he asked to be excused of the guardianship of 
 the heirs of Gaspard Favre and to restore Domaine 
 Favre to it, because, he said, he was still charged with 
 that of the heirs of Claude de la Corbiere, his grand- 
 children. This latter guardianship brought him in great 
 trouble with the other members of the family, which 
 came to its height in 1578, when he was 87 years of 
 age. 
 
 "The will of Jean Philippin has not been found." 
 
 Jean Philippin m. Anthoyne, dau. of Guigne Compte 
 and Madeleine Corvillion, dau. of Bernoit Corvillion, as 
 will hereafter appear. 
 
 "Armorial Genevois," previously mentioned, contains 
 an illuminated illustration of the Comte arms, but 
 omits the description, which is d'arg. a deux pals de 
 gu., une bande d'azur brochante sur le tout; au chef d' azure 
 char gee de trots etoiles (5) d'arg. 
 
 Mr. Dufour-Vernes : 
 
 " Guigne (Guigoz) Comte was a citizen of Geneva and 
 generally styled "noble." Hem. 
 Madeleine, dau. of the late Benoit 
 Corvillion, probably from Laus- 
 anne in the land of Vaud, and 
 must have d. before Oct. 19, 1524. 
 His widow m. Etienne Curtilliet, 
 surnamed Pecolat, a citizen of 
 Geneva (marriage contract before 
 de Compois, Aug. 14, 1525.). The 
 Pecolats played a role in the 
 foundation of Geneva's independ- 
 ence. 
 
 " Guigne Comte must have been a native of the Prov- 
 ince of Franche Comte in France (now the Jura Depart- 
 ment), for he had as a first cousin Sire Francois Comte 
 of the locality of Sirod in the Jura Department. The 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 m 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 ^>l>i; 
 
 
 
 
 
178 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 
 
 daughters of Guigne Comte, Antoina (dame Philippin) and 
 Perrine were the universal heirs of this Francois Comte, 
 as appears by a summary inventory of the possessions 
 of the said Comte, dated March 30, 1530 (Notary de Com- 
 pois), in the presence of Jean Philippin. Among the 
 debtors mentioned is found Sire Pierre Corvillion of Lau- 
 sanne. Comte made his will Jan. 20, 1542, with a codicil 
 of Mar. 16, 1543 (both before de Compois), but these two 
 instruments are not found in that notary's protocols. 
 Guigne Comte had a son Boniface, who caused Philippin 
 much annoyance with regard to the successions of 
 Francois and Guigne Comte. Boniface had as guardian 
 Francois Comte, a son of the late Pierre, evidently the 
 same one who made the Misses Comte his heirs. Francois 
 Comte had paternal and maternal possessions in the land 
 of Dortant, Department of l'Ain, in the territory of St. 
 Claude and in Bourgoyne. He had as brothers Guil- 
 laume and Pierre, who entering upon bourgeoisie in 1481 
 were said to have come from Siege in the territory of 
 Dortant. They made their deed of partition (Notary de 
 Campois, VIII., 142) at the Molard, in the house of 
 Jean Philippin. Another instrument of Feb. 25, 1527 
 (Same notary, V. 243), shows the relations which must 
 have existed between Guigne Comte, then deceased, and 
 Francois Comte. I do not find the name of Guigne 
 Comte's father. 
 
 " Noble Jean Favre, citizen, who left some estate to 
 Antoina Comte, wife of Philippin, must have been a son 
 of Jean Favre, bourgeois, a native of Echallons in the land 
 of Vaud. This family flourishes to this day in Geneva, 
 where it belongs to the first rank. Jean Favre, then, 
 was some relation to Antoina Comte or her husband, 
 because he left him some estate, is called in the record of 
 the Council a cousin of Philippin, and the latter had the 
 guardianship of the children of Gaspard Favre, a nephew 
 of the said Jean, and a son of Francois Favre, one of the 
 founders of Genevan independence. Jean Favre and 
 his two brothers Antoine and Francois assisted at the 
 confirmation of combourgeoisie of Geneva with Berne 
 
PHILIPPIN FAMILY 179 
 
 and Fribourg in 1520. He seems to have had no 
 children."

 In the Name of God. Amen. 
 1540. 
 General Council. 
 
 On Sunday the eighth of February of the year of the nativity 
 of our Lord one thousand five hundred and forty, — being the first 
 Sunday after the second day of February, on which it is customary 
 to elect the Seigniors Syndics of Geneva, in order to rule and govern 
 the people of this city, — the General Council of Geneva assembled, 
 after the ancient manner, at the tolling of the large bell of Saint 
 Peter's Cloister, and appeared before them the Seignoirs Jehan Co- 
 quet, Girardin De Laz Rivaz, Anthoenne Chicand and Hudriod Du 
 Moulin, all of them citizens and syndics for the past year one thousand 
 five hundred and thirty nine, who brought with them and handed 
 over the four syndic's batons, making the customary excuses, &c. 
 
 It was moved, as is also customary, to elect in Ordinary Council 
 on Tuesday next and subsequently in the Council of Two Hundred 
 on Friday next eight citizens to be presented to the General Council, 
 in order that this body or others, pursuant to ancient customs and 
 constitutions of this city, may select four who will appear to them 
 most proper and adapted to rule and govern the people to the glory 
 of God and the benefit of the city. 
 
 Afterwards were published the votes cast for the Eight, as well 
 in Ordinary Council as in the Council of Two Hundred, to wit, of the 
 upper party for the Nobles, Anthoienne Girbel, Jehan Philippin, 
 Jehan Chappuys and Pierre Tissot, and of the lower party for Estienne 
 Chappeaurouge, Estienne Dadaz, Amyer Baudiere and Francoys 
 Lullin. On which Eight was acted till every one had cast his vote 
 which votes one after another in succession were written down by 
 Jaques Symaud, general treasurer of the city, and by me, Pierre 
 Ruffi, citizen and secretary of the Council. 
 
180 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 
 
 This done, the votes were counted, the roll was read, and the 
 four who received the most votes were proclaimed, being the Nobles:

 which four Seigniors the people elected Syndics by an amicable vote, 
 
 without opposition or contradiction, and were constituted, deputed, 
 
 and appointed upon the regimen and administration of the city, 
 
 and with the customary honors, preeminence, charges and powers,

 Whereupon the people, one after another, according to their 
 conscience, came to cast their votes, and these being counted most 
 of them were given to the four Seigniors Syndics hereunder named. 
 
 For below, the Seigniors: — 
 
 Anthoinne Girbel,

 For above, the Seigniors: — 
 
 Pierre Tissot, 
 Michiel Morel. 
 
 Which four Seigniors Syndics were appointed, elected and pro- 
 claimed to the people, who found them agreeable, and thus held them 
 accepted and constituted as Seigniors Syndics. 
 
 On the said Sunday, Feb. 3, 1544. after dinner, the Seigniors 
 Ancient Syndics came to the city hall, and sent for the newly elected 
 Seigniors Syndics, to wit, the aforesaid nobles Anthoine Girbel, 
 Johan Philippin, Pierre Tissot and Michiel Morel who with uplifted 
 hand took the following oath: 
 
 (Form of oath of the Seigniors Syndics.) 
 
 We promise and swear to acquit ourselves faithfully of the duties 
 of our office, firstly, to maintain and defend as much as is possible 
 to us the freedom and rights of the city, to administer well that which 
 comes to our hands, to dispense good and straight justice, giving to 
 
PHILIPPIN FAMILY 181 
 
 everyone what belongs to him, upholding the good ones and punish- 
 ing the bad ones without fear or favor. Item we further promise 
 to do and observe what the office of syndic and councilor comprises, 
 and may God be our witness of all that and punish us if we act con- 
 trarily. 
 
 This being done, on motion of the Seigniors Ancient Syndics, 
 place and seat were given to the newly elected seigniors syndics, 
 to wit, the first seat to Seignior Anthoenne Girbel, the second to 
 Seignior Pierre Tissot, the third to Seignior Johan Philippin and the 
 fourth to Seignior Michiel Morel, and handed over to them the keys 
 to the chests and rights of the city. 
 
 Record of the Council : 
 
 Friday, June 24, 1547. 
 
 Return of Mr. Jehan Philippin, coming back from Bern. 
 
 Pursuant to the commission given him he makes report of his trans- 
 actions. After the honors tendered him by order of the council, the 
 chief magistrate of Bern and four other gentlemen came to keep him 
 company in his lodgings and made the rejoinder that concerning the

 Diminution to the profit of noble Jehan Philippin. 
 
 We, Francoys Depreztavel, Lord of Granges, notify all men by 
 these presents, that since noble Jehan Philippin, a citizen of Geneva, 
 holds and possesses from our fief and domain the following things and 
 pieces: Firstly, a piece of meadow measuring a sextary, situate in the 
 territory of Choulier, at the place called "en praz Lanvoen," adjoin- 
 ing east the meadow of Jehan and Jaques Poutex, west, south and 
 north the meadow of the said no. Jehan Philippin; which was of the 
 possessions and recognizance of the late Pierre, Glaude and Olivier 
 Vyonnet, of Thoyrier. Item, two pieces of meadow situate in the 
 said territory and place of "pre" Lanvoen," measuring together about 
 a sextary of meadow, the first of which adjoins north the meadow of 
 Jaques and Jehan Poutex and their co-partitioners, south the meadow 
 of the said no. Jehan Philippin above described, west the meadow of 
 the said noble Philippin, and east the meadow of the said Poutexes; 
 the other near by adjoins north the meadow of the said Jehan and 
 Jaques Poutex, south the meadow of the said no. Jehan Philippin 
 and faces the meadow of the said no. Philippin east and west, of the 
 possessions and recognizances of Jehan, a son of the late Pierre Guil- 
 
182 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 
 
 Hand, of Choulier, under a rent or annual service of two pennies of 
 money. Item, another piece of meadow, measuring about half a 
 sextary, situate in the said territory at the aforesaid place, adjoining 
 north the meadow of the said Poutexes, south, east and west the 
 meadow of the said no. Philippin; of the aforesaid possessions and 
 recognizance, under the rent of half a quart of wheat, a half quart and 
 the fourth part of a half quart of oats, Pigney measure, as before. 
 Item, a piece of land measuring about a forte pose (?) situate in the 
 said territory of Choulier, at the place called "en les Plantes," ad- 
 joining south ground of the heirs of Baptazard Borgeys, north ground 
 of Amyed Poutex, and facing east the public road leading from 
 Choulier to Cre"durier, and west another road leading from Cr^durier 
 to the road Mugnydre; of the aforesaid possessions and recognizance, 
 under the rent of five Geneva sous and a bichet of wheat, Satignyer 
 measure. Item about half a pose of land, situate in the territory of 
 the Commons, adjoining north ground of the said no. Philippin which 
 was of Jacquemet Boyvin, south ground of the said no. Philippin 
 which was of Jaquet Dufour, and facing east the Commons of Peycier 
 and west ground of the aforesaid Jehan Philippin; of the possessions 
 and recognizance of Claude and Jehan Dufourt, surnamed Rasez, of 
 Choulier, under the rent of four Geneva pennies. 
 
 Which rents, taken together, amount to three quarts of wheat, a 
 half quart and a half carte of oats, and five sous and six pennies of 
 Geneva money. 
 
 And whereas these pieces are charged with the said rents, there- 
 fore they could never fall into sterility or be left vacant of tenants 
 and considering this, we — at the request of the said noble Jehan Philip- 
 pin, to this effect made to us — did and by these presents do reduce, 
 diminish and convert all these above described and mentioned rents 
 and tributes of the said no. Jehan Philippin and his heirs and suc- 
 cessors whosoever, to twelve pennies money, reserving to ourselves 
 only the said twelve pennies on the pieces with the fief and tenure in 
 capite, and lord's dues for alienation as often as may come to pass. 
 And this we did and do, in consideration of twenty florins, small 
 weight, duly had and received by us from the said noble Philippin, 
 whereof we solve and acquit him, by these presents; divesting our- 
 selves of the hereabove reduced and diminished rents and investing 
 the said no. Philippin with them, always save the aforesaid reserva- 
 tions. And promising by our oath and good faith, and under pledge 
 of our goods, to observe these presents towards the said Philippin 
 and his successors whosoever. Renouncing all rights, franchises and 
 liberties by means of which we might contravene these. 
 
 In testimony whereof we have granted these presents to the said 
 Philippin. 
 
 Given in Geneva, under the seal and manual signature of our 
 undersigned commissary of our mandate, here written in testi- 
 mony of the truth, on this twentieth day of the month of December 
 
PHILIPPIN FAMILY 183 
 
 in the current year of our Lord one thousand five hundred and 
 forty-seven. 
 
 Thus passed and reduced by the said Lord of the Granges. 
 
 The Book of the Council of this City of Geneva, in which are 
 written the public affairs touching the community, beginning this 
 Sunday, the fifth of February of the year of the nativity of our Lord 
 one thousand five hundred and forty eight. 
 
 1548. 
 
 In the name of God. Amen. 
 
 The General Council being assembled in Saint Peter's Cloister 
 by trumpet call, the tolling of the large bell, and in the customary 
 way, proceeded to the election and appointment of our venerable 
 Seigniors Syndics and Governors who are to officiate in the present 
 and next year, commencing to-day, as Seigniors, protectors and ad- 
 ministrators of and for the people (with their Councils, nevertheless), 
 they being already nominated by the Ordinary Council on Tuesday 
 last and subsequently by the Council of Two Hundred on Friday 
 last; in order to be presented to the General Council to-day, they 
 being elected for the people conformably to ancient custom by 
 majority of votes to the number of eight, four of whom, according to 
 the edicts and ordinances on this subject, must be accepted by the 
 said General Council on Sunday, the 5th of February, 1548, aforesaid. 
 
 After previously invoking the help of God Almighty by offering 
 prayer as customary, the Seigniors ancient Syndics of last year whose 
 terms expire to-day, to wit, the nobles Girardin De La Rive, Anthoine 
 Chicaud, Hudrio du Mollars and Francoy Beguin, all of them citizens 
 of Geneva, made earnest remonstrances and exhortations to the 
 people to elect to the office of Syndic honest and well informed 
 men who will promote the advancement of the glory of God 
 and the weal of the people, and having done this, they made their 
 excuses, &c. 
 
 Consequently, in conformity with the edicts, the people nominated 
 the eight Seigniors, who received a majority of the votes in Ordinary 
 Council and in the Council of Two Hundred, four of whom must be 
 accepted as Seignoirs Syndics, the four nominated for above being 
 Seigniors Pernet Defosses, late treasurer, Pierre Tissot, Pierre Wandel 
 and Michael Morel, and for below the Seigniors Jehan Philippin, Est- 
 ienne Chapeauroge, Henry Aubert and Pierre Bonaz. 
 
 Previous, however, to giving everyone an opportunity for ex 
 pressing his opinion, the required oath sworn with uplifted hand 
 was taken, the contents of which are as follows: 
 
 (Form of oath for the election of the Seigniors Syndics.) 
 
 We promise and swear to God, before the Seigniory, to elect and 
 appoint to the office of Syndic those whom we think proper and 
 adapted as well to uphold the honor of God and the Christian religion 
 in this city, as to guide and govern the people in good policy and 
 preserve the common weal, and that, in electing, we shall have in 
 view only the public welfare and not any particular inclination either 
 
184 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 
 
 of hatred or favor, and that God be witness of this promise, that 
 He may judge us if we should act contrarily 
 
 The said oath having been taken, one after another came in good 
 order to vote by naming only four of the eight candidates for the 
 office of Syndic who were nominated and presented to them, and on 
 counting the votes the majority of the same were cast for Seigniors 
 Syndics as follows: 
 
 For above on the nobles: 
 
 Pernet Defosses and 
 Pierre Wandel. 
 
 For below on the nobles: 
 
 Jehan Philippin and 
 Estienne Chapeauroge, 
 who have been elected, published and appointed by the people, con- 
 sidering them agreeable and accepting the four above named ones 
 as our Seigniors Syndics for the present year, with all the accustomed 
 honors, preeminences, charges, salaries and commodities. And for 
 the present everyone withdrew. 
 
 On the said Sunday, February 5, 1548, after dinner, the Seigniors 
 ancient Syndics who, according to ancient customs, go out of office 
 to-day, came to the city hall and sent for the four gentlemen who 
 were to-day elected Syndics, namely, the nobles Jehan Philippin, 
 Pernet De Fosses, Estienne Chapeauroge and Pierre Wandel who, 
 with uplifted hand, took the following oath: 
 
 (Form of oath for the Seigniors Syndics.) 
 
 We promise and swear to faithfully acquit ourselves of the duties 
 of our office, firstly, to maintain and defend as much as is in our 
 power, the liberty and the rights of the city, to honestly administer 
 that which we shall have in hand, to dispense good and straight 
 justice rendering to everyone what is due them, sustaining the good 
 ones and punishing the malefactors without favor or hatred. We 
 further promise and swear to observe and perform that which is 
 comprised in the office of Syndic, and may God be our witness of 
 all this, punishing us if we should act contrarily. 
 
 Seating of the Seigniors Syndics. 
 
 Considering the qualities of the persons and the dignity of the 
 offices to which the newly elected Seigniors Syndics were raised, it 
 was advised and ordered that the first syndic's seat shall be occupied 
 by Seignior Jehan Philippin, the second by Seignior Perret De Fosses, 
 the third by Seignior Estienne Chapeaurouge, and the fourth by 
 Seignior Pierre Wandel, who took possession of their said places 
 and to whom were handed and distributed the keys to the chests 
 in which the rights of the city are preserved, that they may guard 
 them well and securely. 
 
 The seals and colors of the heralds were handed over by Seignior 
 De La Rive, Ancient Syndic, to Seignior Jehan Philippin, first Syndic.

 Testament of the noble Anthoyne Compte, widow of the late 
 noble Jehan Philippin. 
 
 In the name of God. Amen. Be it known and manifest to all 
 men, now and in future, that in the current year of our Lord one 
 thousand five hundred and eighty five, on the eleventh day of the 
 month of March, before me the undersigned Philibert Blondel, citizen 
 and sworn notary public of Geneva, in the presence of the herein- 
 after named witnesses, personally appeared and identified herself 
 the noble Anthoyne, daughter of the late noble Guigoz Compte and 
 widow of the late noble Jehan Philippin, in his life time a citizen 
 of said Geneva; who, by the grace of God, being of good memory, 
 judgment and understanding, but infirm and sick in body, on account 
 of which she is confined to her bed, considering the changes and 
 vicissitudes of this world, the frailty of the human race subject to 
 the mortal tribute of death, from which it cannot be exempted and 
 the hour for the payment of which is unknown; further considering 
 that it is a very useful thing to prevent, by testamentary disposition, 
 all eventual quarrels and contests over the goods which God has 
 given us, rather than to wait until overtaken by death; having this 
 forethought, she has by herself conceived to make it appear to pos- 
 terity what has been and now is her good and last will; requesting 
 me, the said notary public, to write it out in manner following: 
 
 In the first place, she gives thanks to our good God and father 
 for so many good things as he has granted her, having called her to 
 the knowledge of his Holy Word and made her a partaker of the 
 body and precious blood of our only Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus 
 Christ, whose death she embraces by a living faith, she having thereby 
 obtained life everlasting and being purged of original sin to which 
 the human race is subjected having no other foundation nor hope 
 of salvation than in his precious death and blood which he has shed 
 for us, poor sinners, on the cross to satisfy all our faults and sins 
 through which we are held to his judgment; beseeching that it may 
 
PHILIPPIN FAMILY 187 
 
 please him not to impute her transgressions but cover them by his 
 free grace and the merit of the death of our only Saviour and Re- 
 deemer; making her a partaker — as she relies upon it — of the blessed 
 life ordered and prepared for his faithful elect, of the number of 
 whom she believes to be through the testimonies contained in his 
 holy Word which she has imprinted in her heart; moreover asking 
 him for increase and strength of faith until the last breath of her 
 life. 
 
 With regard to her body, when the soul shall have parted from 
 it, she desires that it be buried, in accordance with the ordinances 
 of our Sovereign Lords, in the place established for that purpose. 
 And in order to cut off all differences and litigation which might 
 arise after her decease with respect to her possessions of dotal settle- 
 ment and the increase thereof, as well as those obtained during mar- 
 riage with her said late beloved husband, she has now made a true 
 and faithful settlement of them, by which she wishes to stand with- 
 out any other formality or inquiry, as making this statement a word 
 of truth in view of the end of her days. 
 
 Firstly, she says and states to have brought her late husband, 
 as a dotal settlement, a sum of one thousand florins, according to 
 the articles of marriage existing, to which she refers, and of which 
 sum an increase is due her conformably to the edicts. Item, says 
 to have received from the estate of the late noble Jehan Favre, in his 
 life time a citizen of Geneva, a sum of five hundred crowns, a house 
 called "La Pillesseric," Item, a piece of vineyard with trellis, sit- 
 uate at Se'cheron, which has also come to her from the estate of the 
 said Favre. Item, says that she got from the estate of the late Fran- 
 joys Compte, a first cousin of her late father, two hundred florins 
 in a mortgage on two pieces of meadowland, one situate about Arve 
 and the other about Collogni, and also some furniture the largest 
 and best part of which her son, noble Anthoyne Philippin, has taken 
 possession of. Finally says and states that she has her clothes and 
 accoutrements and four gold rings. 
 
 Disposing of the said goods by this present nuncupative and 
 written testament and last will, she gives and bequeaths unto the 
 poor of the General Hospital of this city twenty-five florins. Item, 
 unto the College of this city also twenty-five florins, all for once, 
 to be paid by her hereinafter named heir shortly after her decease. 
 Item, gives and bequeaths unto Jeanne, Pernette and Francoyse, 
 her granddaughters conceived by the late Clauda Philippin, her first 
 daughter, formerly wife of the late Egrere Pierre Vachat, a sum of 
 fifty shining gold crowns, for once, to be evenly divided between 
 them, and to be paid by her hereinafter named heir a year after her 
 decease, appointing them in this solely her particular heirs and in 
 consequence of the said sum debarring and excluding them from all 
 of her said possessions present and future. Item, gives and bequeaths 
 unto the honorable Jehan Corbi^re, her grandson conceived by the 
 late Pernette Phillippin, her second daughter, a sum of fifty shining 
 
188 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 
 
 gold crowns, for once, payable by her said hereinafter named heir 
 a year after her decease, the said Corbiere, however, to give good 
 and sufficient security for this sum to the benefit of the hereinafter 
 stated substitution, and in this appoints him her particular heir, 
 debarring and excluding him in consequence thereof from all of her 
 other possessions, present and future. Item, gives and bequeaths 
 unto Elizabeth, widow of Sire Francoys Jacquet, her third daughter, 
 a sum of fifty shining gold crowns, for once, and a gold ring (inas- 
 much as she has not given her one at her wedding), to be paid by 
 her said heir a year after her decease, and appoints her in this her 
 particular heir, debarring and excluding her from all of her posses- 
 sions, present and future. Item, gives and bequeaths unto Anna 
 Philippin, her fourth daughter, widow of Pierre Balexert, a like sum 
 of fifty shining gold crowns and a gold ring (also because she has 
 not given her one at her wedding), to be paid by her said hereinafter 
 named heir a year after her decease, and appoints her in this her 
 particular heir, debarring and excluding her in consequence thereof 
 from all of her possessions present and future. Item, gives and be- 
 queaths unto Pernette Philippin, wife of Sire George Adelhard, 
 her fifth and last daughter, a sum of fifty shining gold crowns, for 
 once, to be paid a year after her decease by the said hereinafter 
 named heir, appointing her in this her particular heir and debarring 
 and excluding her in consequence thereof from all of her said pos- 
 sessions, present and future. And if her said surviving daughters 
 and her grandsons and granddaughters begotten by Claude and 
 Pernette, her two deceased daughters, should die without leaving 
 children lawfully begotten from their body, in such case she sub- 
 stitutes for them in the ordinary manner and by way of forfeiture 
 her said hereinafter named heir, provided, however, that the said 
 Jeanne, Pernette and Francoyse Vachat shall succeed to the said 
 sum if it should happen that all of them died one after the other 
 without legitimate children, and these three also dying without legit- 
 imate children she desires that the whole shall return to her said heir. 
 Item, gives and bequeaths and by right of legacy leaves unto Su- 
 sanne and Jeanne her granddaughters begotten by the said Pernette, 
 sum of twenty-five crowns to be paid by the said heir to each of 
 them one-half when they shall come to the holy state of matrimony. 
 Item, whereas the said noble Anthoyne Philippin, her son, has made 
 himself disobedient and contumacious to the admonitions which 
 have repeatedly been given him as well by her, testatrix, as by his 
 late father, the noble Jehan Philippin, to part from and not asso- 
 ciate with the woman whom he has married against their wishes, 
 because she was leading a bad life and had no good name or repu- 
 tation, he, instead of listening to such fatherly and motherly remon- 
 strances to better himself, has married her, an impious person in 
 popedom, although it is true that she, testatrix, having once been 
 sent by her late husband to Point d' Arve, where the said Anthoyne 
 then was, she fell on her knees before him, imploring him with tears 
 
PHILIPPIN FAMILY 189 
 
 to give up his bad association with the said woman (whom he did 
 not marry until four years later), to which he was indifferent, thus 
 turning his back upon her prayer and, notwithstanding all command- 
 ments of justice, persevered in his obdurateness, having moreover 
 gone from bad to worse, without coming to any betterment of life, — 
 nevertheless, for the honor of the said Anthoyne, she refrains from 
 making greater statement of the wrongs which he has perpetrated, 
 on account of which and of his said disobedience she wholly and 
 forever rejects and excludes him from all of her said possessions, 
 present and future, in consideration of a sum of five florins which 
 she directs shall be paid him after her death. 
 
 And because the only and principal foundation of a testament, 
 is the hereditary institution, without which all ordinances and dis- 
 positions of last will are void, therefore she has made, instituted and 
 created, and by these presents does make, institute, create and ap- 
 point with her own mouth noble Pierre Philippin, her very dear 
 much beloved and obedient son, her universal and general heir, by 
 whom she wishes, that all her debts, legacies and other charges shall 
 be satisfied and paid without any form of process. For such is her 
 last intention and ultimate nuncupative and written will, which she 
 desires to be held as such, wishing that this present nuncupative 
 testament, committed to writing, and disposition of last will shall 
 hold good and take effect as well by right of nuncupative testament 
 passed into writing, as by right of codicil, donation on account of 
 death and all such means by which it could and should be more agree- 
 ably to law and the edicts of our sovereign Lords. Revoking, break- 
 ing and cancelling all other testaments, codicils, dispositions and 
 donations on account of death by means of this present her last 
 testament which she wishes to take effect. Praying the hereinafter 
 named witnesses to keep these things well in mind, so as to bear 
 witness about them at the time required, and me notary to make 
 hereof as many instruments and clauses in favor of the heir and leg- 
 atees appointed as will be required. 
 
 Done and expressed at said Geneva, in the house of the said noble 
 Philippin on the Mollard, in the front room with stove, the said tes- 
 tatrix lying on the sickbed, in the presence of noble Jehan Favre, 
 Abraham Maillard, George Orset, Pierre Guinoyseau, Gilles Gaury 
 Ozias Osset, and Pierre Magnin, all of them citizens, as well as in- 
 habitants of said Geneva, witnesses recognized, requested, and re- 
 quired by the said testatrix and me the said notary.

 succeeded by all the Warriors now in the city; the reverend clergy
