"Paraphe" or notarial signature of Estienne Favre, 1577
(ACV Fh 161, Chapelles d'Aubonne)
Entries in the church register at Gimel specify Estienne Favre's association with Gimel. He served as a Commissaire (designation of a notary who compiles "terriers" or "reconnaissances" of land ownership), and in the course of these duties he is described repeatedly as the son of Jaques Favre of Gimel.
The earliest mention of his death that has come to our attention is a transaction recorded by Claude Mayor, notary at Ballens, dated 24 feb 1600, in which a parcel of land at Gimel "prez Monthoux" is noted as being adjacent to property of the heirs of the late Estienne Favre.
He is credited with a number of terriers, but these are in different hands, with different spellings, organization, syntax, etc. It is possible, however, that he really was responsible for most of these, but employed a number of clerks to prepare the documents. The terrier that appears to give the most information about him, and which is also credited to him in spite of the absence of any evidence beyond the small label glued at a later date to the spine of the volume, is identified as ACV Fh 34. This terrier enumerates an enormous number of properties at Gimel for which Estienne and his brother François owed annual "censes", "pensions", etc. to the Baron of Aubonne, and in the course of which many relationships are revealed.
Documents of Jean Barral, notary at Morges, note at least one transaction dated 01 oct 1600 between Discret David Favre of Rolle acting for himself as well as his brothers (not named), heirs of the late Ege. Estienne Favre, notary and bourgeois of Aubonne, to Ege. Gabriel Tripod. The realization that Estienne's second wife was the widow of the elder Gabriel Tripod makes this transaction especially intriguing. Further, David Favre seems to have married to a Pernette Tripod. Perhaps this was a double wedding, where a widow and her daughter married a widowed father and his son.
The terrier Fh 205 is described in the inventories of the ACV as the work of Pierre and Gabriel Tripod, brothers, commissaires, and of Pierre and Etienne Favre, from Gimel, notaries. But who was this Pierre Favre? The terrier dates from 1558. It is possible that Pierre was another brother who died soon after, leaving no heirs. So far, no other mention of this Pierre has been found, but it would be logical to look for him in the terriers of the districts of Aubonne and Morges about this time.

(conceivably the name says Fabvre!).
