The Vautiers of |
An examination of the early records of the island shows that many distinct family lines existed before c1600, the
majority of these were native to the parish of St Ouen. Indeed, there were so many of the name in St Ouen that
the expression arose, "I' y'en a assez pour tous Les Vaûtchièrs" when referring to something of which there
was in abundance or more than enough. For research purposes I have identified family lines by the forename of the first recorded family head and the
place that they were domiciled. Abraham Vautier de Leoville (m bef 1633) Clement de Leoville (m 17 Dec 1634) Clement du Marais (m bef 1634) - (Yet To Come) Edouard du Coin (m bef 1634) - (Yet To Come) Henri (m 17 Sep 1645) - (Yet To Come) Jacques de la Mare (m 18 Dec 1644) - (Yet To Come) Jean du Coin (m bef 1634) - (Yet To Come) Jean de Lecq (m bef 1634) - (Yet To Come) Nathaniel (m bef 1638) - (Yet To Come) Philippe au Neveu (m 19 Nov 1669) - (Yet To Come) Pierre de Portinfer (m abt 1630) The St Martin family line:
Jean-de-St-Martin (m bef ????) - (Yet To Come) Note that some of these family lines have long been extinct. Whilst, personally, I have done very little work on the Vautier lines from the other parishes, I do have some knowledge of the St Martin Vautiers whom I have recorded as descending from Jean de St Martin who married Susanne Ahier in 1615.
Other Vautier families originated elsewhere in Europe. Some are known to have travelled from France, Belium, and Switzerland. Some were Huguenots who ended up in London. None of these families are of Jersey origin. Les Vaûtchièrs hors l'Île
