Jaques MELLET (ID #I11218)
(male)
- BIRTH: of Payerne
- DEATH: BEF 1483
Family 1
:
- +Antoinaz MELLET (d. AFT 1492)
- +Perronette MELLET (dates unknown)
In 1442, the banderet of Payerne was Jaques Meller, possibly the same person.
The archives of Turin contain many documents relating to the Pays de Vaud from the Savoyard period. Among these are several mentioning Vuibert Mallet of Payerne with his wife Nicolette daughter of Pierre de Chatillon, in 1397. In 1407, after the death of Pierre we find evidently the same couple, now called Humbert Mallet and Nicolette de Chatillon. There are a number of other citations as late as 1409, calling him Vuibert, Vibert, or Humbert. We strongly suspect that Mallet and Mellet of Payerne are the same family.

- Magdelaine DUTOIT (bp. 16 OCT 1672, d. aft 1698)
After the death of her husband, sometime before 1686, she appears in a number of documents relating to his estate. She is associated with Jaques Folliet, master tailor of Moudon, but his relationship to her has not been worked out. She may also have some relationship to the Isaac Dutoit who married Jeanne (or Susanne) Rossalet, as the following document suggests:
Jaques Crausaz, notary at Moudon, 19 may 1686.

Her testament dated 13 jun 1697 was probated before the cour de justice of Moudon (ACV BIL 98 fol 56). She leaves the bulk of her estate to her children Jean François Dutoit (for some years "hors du pays"), Marie Dutoit, Magdelaine Dutoit, and Esther Dutoit. Her daughters brought the testament before the court and it was approved, 22 jun 1698.

Jean MELON (ID #I11112)
(male)
- TITLES/'DIT' NAMES/OCCUPATIONS: Sr. de Camperdon
- DEATH: AFT 1722
[3958]
Family 1
:
Jeanne CLERMONT (dates unknown)
- Catherine MELON (bp. 18 SEP 1698)
- Jean MELON (bp. 7 SEP 1701)
- Marie MELON (bp. 25 NOV 1702)
- Catherine MELON (b. 19 JUN 1706)
Evidently a Catholic in good standing when he disputed the settlement of the estates of the exiled Gélieu ministers who had fled to Amsterdam. He is found in the surviving Catholic registers at Issigeac around 1700. He advanced numerous arguments, probably specious, to take possession of estates abandoned when his wife's relatives the Gélieu brothers fled from France in 1685. The estates could not be touched as long as the brothers were still alive. While his relative Pierre Melon had a better claim, he, too, could not claim these estates as long as the exiled brothers were still alive. His title is mentioned in the registers at Issigeac in 1706. The same registers demonstrate the existence of at least two other men of the same name: one died in 1706, age about 65, and the other, styled Sr. de Maisonneuve and procureur à Cordineire, married in 1712 to Anne Malbourian and was alive as late as 1720. There is a burial record for a Jean Melon habitant d'Issigeac in 1730, but we have not determined which one of them it might be.
The transcript of the file concerning the dispute is available as a PDF file.
[3958]
He may be the Jean Melon who died at Issigeac 10 jan 1730, but there was another Jean Melon, Sr. de Maisonneuve and procureur, at Issigeac at least from 1712 to 1720.

Pierre MELON (ID #I8116)
(male)
- TITLES/'DIT' NAMES/OCCUPATIONS: Sr. de Croze
- DEATH: AFT 1722
Father: _____ MELON (dates unknown)
Mother: _____ GÉLIEU (dates unknown)
Probably resided in the vicinity of Issigeac. He is identified as the nephew of the Gélieu brothers, ministers, who fled in 1685, but neither he nor Jean Melon were able to take possession of the brothers' estates. However, the dispute on this subject before the parlement of Bordeaux generated some interesting documents. So far, we have found no mention of him in the surviving church records of Issigeac or Eyrenville. It is possible that he resided in a neighboring parish.
The transcript of the dispute over the estates of the exiled ministers is available as a PDF file. The documents give no indication where either Pierre or Jean Melon lived, apart from their titles, Sr. de
Croze and Sr. de Camperdon, respectively.
