Marriage record at Nettancourt, transcribed in the Leiden Collection of Huguenot records, notes her residence before marriage at what looks to be Velaines, though the microfilm of this record is out of focus. We have not yet located a copy of the fragmentary protestant register of Nettancourt, where the transcribed information could be confirmed.

A curious settlement recorded by Claude Mayor, notary (ACV DB 26/1 fol. 19, 04 mar 1568, and another copy of the same document recorded in a different hand on fol. 20 of the same register), reveals that there had been a dispute between Jean Herisson, minister at Morges, and Louis Corbel, minister at "Hischutillie" in France, regarding the estate of the late Jean Lange, minister at Bursins, and of his wife Pernette de Carroz. Among other details, the settlement says that Louis Corbel had been adopted by Lange, but that the children of Herisson were named as heirs of Lange. Eventually the parties agreed to divide the estate.
Jean Lange is known to have been an outspoken critic of Calvin 1554-1555. Louis Corbeil is probably the same person as Loys Corbeil, thought to have come originally from France, and known to be a participant in various anti-Calvinist squabbles at the Académie de Lausanne in 1549. At some point he served as a deacon at Morges. Louis escaped execution at Lyon 1552-1553 because he was able to prove that he was a subject of Bern—five other young Huguenots whose credentials were not in order were not so lucky. But where is "Hischutillie"?
