The contents of letters No 25 are similar and show how Nicolas Etur, son of Pierre, sold to Nicolas Etur the son of Nicolas father of my grandmother, half the garden in the Rue Cachevassal situated between Nicolas Le Cornu's barn, which previously belonged to the heirs of Jacques Petiot, and the barn belonging to the estate of Jean Blanche, which formerly belonged to Toussaint Vaudin. It came to the aforementioned Nicolas son of Pierre as his part of the vingtième for the price of 5 bushels and a cabotel of wheat rent, which Nicolas son of Nicolas turned over and assigned to him, to be paid to him by Pierre Naftel of St Andrew. The letters are dated 25 January 1564. And the said garden came to Dame Bertranne Etur (daughter of Nicolas Etur son of Nicolas), my grandmother, as part of her inheritance ...

'Monamy Pedigree,' n.d. (prob. TWM de Guérin), misc. in Le Marchant family files:

The only André who might have married Rebecca Guille is André, born 11 June 1587, who died without issue. If so, this date must have been 1612 and the stone must have come from another building, as he never possessed the St Jacques house. His sister Mary (b. 1588) had married a John Guille, by whom she had a daughter who died unmarried. His other sister Elizabeth (b. 5 July 1584) married, 5 February 1608, Pierre Bonamy of Le Grand Carrefour, whose descendants still exist. He was son of Hellier Bonamy of Les Caches, St Martin's.
