Enarde (?) MONOD (ID #I937)
(female)
- BAPTISM: 15 FEB 1599, Ballens, Vaud, Switzerland
Name appears to be spelled Rynard, but is not clear. Another possible reading would be Lynard or Léonard. We found at least one instance where "Ennarde" (feminine) is used interchangeably with "Lyonnarde".

Appears as witness as early as 1627, with sister Jaqueline wife of Jean François Mayor. In 1635, he is identified as a brother-in-law of Estienne Huguet, whose wife is Elizabeth Monod.
Félix was still alive as late as 1663. Depending on the age of his wife, it is entirely feasible that they had a few more children. If the information about the Delessert family is correct, it would appear that the brothers Jean Pierre Monod (Châtelain de Mollens) and Jean Louis Monod are also sons of Félix, since Jean Pierre is cited 06 feb 1707 as the "beaufrère" of the late Châtelain Deslessert of L'Isle, although the language is perhaps a little ambiguous. There does not seem to be another explanation, so we show the Châtelain Jean Pierre Monod and his brother Jean Louis as sons of Félix.
However, a reconnaissance of 22 jun 1740 (ACV FH 246 fol. 371, for Benjamin and Louis, sons of the late Isaac Monod of Ballens, notes that the property in question had previously been the subject of a reconnaissance 02 dec 1676 (Eg. François Gaspard Bolens) by Philippe and Estienne Gabriel Mayor, brothers, for 1/2, and by Felix Monod acting for his brother Jean Louis Monod for the other 1/2. This must involve the "other" Félix Monod, the son of Augustin, baptised 01 mar 1635, who really did have a brother Jean Louis. Also among the citations from 1676 that are found in the 1740 terrier, there are several mentions of Egrège Félix Monod, but not in a context that reveals his parentage. Was it the "other" Félix who was the notary?
The present Félix acquired citizenship at Yens on 02 jul 1660, according to the record of the settlement of debts of his sons Isaac and Gabriel 1742-43 (ACV Bib 198, p. 560).
Félix was also still alive on 26 jan 1678 when he made a "reconnaissance" for the terrier Fg 159, concerning property formerly subject to the priory of Romainmôtier. The same terrier contains an "Addition de recognoissance des hoirs d'honnorable et prudent Foelix Monnod de Ballens" (fol. 91). The heirs listed are his sons Gabriel (already succeeding his father in the office of Châtelain de Bière) and Jaques, and the "addition" is dated 15 jun 1683, although it seems to have been drafted in 1682. Since the original reconnaissance on fol. 1 clearly shows Félix alive on 26 jan 1678, it is clear he must have died about 1682. He was deceased when the cadastre GB 18a was compiled, probably about 1686, at which point his properties are mostly in the hands of his sons Gabriel and Jaques.
Another interpretation of the same evidence would make Gabriel and Jaques the only sons of Félix who survived into the 18th Century. They probably had a brother Isaac who had died much earlier (possibly before 1682, when only Gabriel and Jaques are named as heirs of the recently deceased Félix). But the other sons, Jean Louis and Jean Pierre, may not belong here at all. They might simply be the sons of the same name who were children of Augustin Monod. The claimed relationship with the Delessert family might be in error, or might be based on something other than the marriage of Jeanne Pernette Monod, daughter of the present Félix, to Jean Jaques Delessert. Indeed, Jeanne Pernette might be another daughter of the other Félix, son of Augustin! In hopes of resolving this problem, we are reviewing the terriers for Ballens.
