The following notation is written in the Register of Births and Baptisms of the Reformed Church of Mortague-Sur-Gironde,

1661-1663, which was found in the GRENIERS of Chateau d'Usson:

 

I have translated the passage into English:

 

19 Nov 1662: Baptism of Jean, son of Samuel Moriset and Jeanne Bonneau.

[Note: Bonneau. There is a small village at a short distance from Mortagne which is called Chez-Bonneau (or house

of Bonneau). This was the place of origin of the Bonneau family. There are many Bonneaus in Mortagne. The

Bonneaus were refugees to Charlestown. Ramsay, I, p. 5; Weiss, I, p. 387]

Register 18 of the Crottet Manuscripts records marriages performed in the Reformed Church at Mortagne, Pastor Honore'

Charleston.]

From: Susan Wyatt

I have information that the "Bonneaus" pronounced "Bono " originated from the small village Chez Bonneau, France.....

which is located on the north side of the Gironde River across (nw) from Bordeaux. (This family possibly has an Italian

ancestry. I have a source somewhere that Pastor Bono was a Calvinistic Pastor (Presbyterian/French Reformed, who

came to the above area of France.)

 

Transactions of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina No. 5. p. 18, Charleston, South Carolina, 1897.

By order of Tho. Smith, Governor, dated 1693-4, 300 acres of land were admeasured and laid out for Isaac Caillabµuf,

he having, at his own expense, brought into the province the following persons, etc., their names having been

registered in the office within fourteen days after their arrival, viz.: Isaac Caillabµuf, Rachael Caillabµuf, his wife, Peter

Gaillard, Magdalen Gaillard, Mary Rambert, and James Bonneau. As early as the year 1686, Paul Bruneau, whose

name is in a catalogue of Huguenot refugees resident on the Santee, was the owner of land in Carolina.

Bonjour,

Dans les recherches que j'ai effectuâe sur la famille de Bonneau de Mussidan, voici ce que j'ai sur la famille de Pindray.

 

"II Pierre de Bonneau,.il est dâecâedâes avant le 28/11/1650, date de l'inventaire de ses biens (Rambaud N.). Il est filleul de Pierre de Veyrel son grand-páere maternel. Il fut avocat au parlement et juge de la juridiction de Mussidan. Il avait âepousâe en premiáere noce Jeahane Alamigean. Le contrat de mariage est du 11/08/1608 Derobert N. Elle est morte áa Mussidan le 10/07/1610. Elle eu un fils, Gâeraud mort peu apráes elle. Il prit pour seconde âepouse le 20/11/1617 Marguerite Pindray, morte áa Mussidan le 15/08/1620, sans enfant. Il se remaria le 06/07/1621 avec Anne de Pâenaud, fille de Nicolas de Penaud conseillâe et magistrat prâesidial de la sâenâechaussâee de Pâerigueux et (seigneur ?) de la juridiction de Mussidan et de Grun, et de Anne de Chalup, habitant au lieu de Saint Michel. Anne de Penaud âetait sour de Annet de Penaud qualifiâe dans le contrat de mariage de la dite Anne, d'âecuyer. Elle fit son testament le 11/09/1664 áa Saint Michel de Double, dans lequel ont voit qu'ils ont eut pour enfant

1) Pierre, sieur de Charavignac, dâecâedâe avant 1653,

2) Gâeraud qui suit,

3) Hiâerome, sieur de beaufort, ancãetre de la branche de Beaufort,

4) Hâelie ou Jean, sieur de la Martignie, qui âepousa Marie Roux, fille de Jean Roux. Il testa le 08/04/1657, et est dâecâedâe avant le 12/04/1657, jour de l'inventaire de ses biens. (2 E 1808/2).

5) Annet, nâe le 26/1/1627 áa Mussidan,

6) Pierre, nâe en 1636.

 

En juin 1627 (1 B 1627-Juin) Jugement en la cour du parlement de Bordeaux, entre Daniel Chirol docteur en mâedecine et Maãitre Pierre Bonneau avocat en la cour, juge de Mussidan (il ne porte pas de titre de noblesse)."

 

Je trouve une diffâerence entre ces documents et la gâenâealogie que PEDLR m'a envoyâe. Dans cette gâenâealogie, ils disent : Marguerite de Pindray, qui âetait veuve, en 1621, de Pierre Bonneau, avocat en la cour de Parlement de Bordeaux et juge de la juridiction de Micidan. Son páere lui lâegua aussi 3000 livres.

 

Alors que se serait elle qui serai dâecâedâee áa Mussidan le 15/08/1620 (trouvâe chez Saint Saud) En plus nous voyons que Pierre se remarie en 1621, que ses enfants sont de ce 3° mariage et qu'il passe un acte en 1627.

 

Mais on apprend qu'elle est fille de Simon de Pindray âecuyer Seigneur de Marafy, paroisse de Vieux-Mareuil et de damoiselle Catherine de Goursac. Ledit Simon est fráere de Pierre de Pindray Seigneur d'Ambelle.

 

Autre chose : les de Pindray avaient ils une maison sur Pâerigueux ? Pourquoi marier une fille noble áa un marchand bourgeois de Pâerigueux, certes riche, mais marchand ? Les Bonneau âetaient aussi bourgeois. Comment ce connaissaient-ils ? Ils ne devaient pas frâequenter le mãeme monde, áa moins que la sâeparation des castes, des milieux n'est pas âetaient aussi tranchâees ?

 

Sincáerement votre

Michel
