¹ Demoiselle Louise Jacquy Claudine Bretton Deschapelles Saterte is listed as Demoiselle Louise Jacquiline Claudine Bretton Deschapelles, the godmother on the baptismal record for Claire Ettienne DuSassenay. (See page 6 of this register.)
² Some published works consistently render the name as Vanjoueux, but unless the letters "u" and "n" appear differentiated as written, we have rendered it Vaujoyeux.
