He made a "reconnaissance" on 28 may 1488 (ACV IB 295a/735) for property subject to the co-seigneur of Aubonne, Claude de Menthone (the property was a dependency of the Château d'Aubonne) previously recognized by his parents (first recorded by Aymonet Challet and later by Johannes Challet), including his house at Ballens. The document is incomplete; this folio is presently attached to the front of a small quire of earlier reconnaissances in a different hand (signed Fabri), including one by his parents Girardus Cigoen and Roleta d'Eschandens alias Bosson, 19 oct 1452. However, the document of 28 may 1488 now turns out to be the same "reconnaissance" found in ACV P de Mestral I 1507, a terrier compiled in 1488-1489 by Guilliermus Berardi for Claudius de Menthone (fol. 320, the texts need to be compared in detail).

He is the Petrus Bosson alias Cigoen who, with his wife Stephana daughter of the late Stephanus Mayor, made a reconnaissance (ACV P de Mestral I 1507, fol. 326v) on 23 jun 1488, as "tutor et administrator Petri filii (impuberis) quondam Mondeti Mayor dicti loci, de bonis que fuerunt quondam Johannodi et Cristini Vachetaz per Johannem filium Bisuncii de Frigidavilla et Stephanam eius uxorem filiam quondam Johannis de Eschandens bina vice alias recognitis, videlicet unam posam terre per dictum Johannem de Frigidavilla et Jacobum eius filium Aymoneto Mayor dictorum Stephane et quondam Mondeti avo venditam precio sexaginta solidorum bone monete constante lictera per Petrum recepta et per prefatum dominum in presenti extenta laudata." (There are difficulties with this passage, however, as Aymonetus Mayor does not in fact appear to be the grandfather of Mondetus and Stephana, but rather their great-uncle.) The alias Bosson comes from Roleta de Eschandens, wife of Girardus Cigoen.

He appears with his "nephew" Pierre Mayor/Monod son of Claude in 1530 and perhaps later. A key problem is to establish his dates and to determine whether he was survived by sons who took the family name Monod. There do not seem to be any later Cigoens.
He was a minor, represented by Petrus Mayor junior (relationship not precisely stated) on 30 nov 1523 (Fh 144, fol. 319v ff). That places his birth date after 1498. In other words, it is completely plausible that he is the "Thivent Monod" (alias Cigoen) who is cited at least into the 1550's at Ballens. By 1531 (Fg 52, fol. 170v), he was representing his "nephew" Petrus Monod filius quondam Glaudii Mayor alias Monod in a reconnaissance for property that had previously been recognized by Petrus Mayor junior, son of Mondetus Mayor.
Why would his children take the name Monod? They would be nephews of the late Petrus Mayor/Monod ("Petrus Mayor junior") whose only descendant was apparently Jacobus Mayor or Monod alias Noblet, who in turn seems to have left no children. In that case, the inheritance from" Petrus Mayor junior", including the name Monod may well have fallen to the children of Stephanus Cigoen.
The relationships gleaned from the terriers do not always appear to be consistent. In this case, we are not completely certain how Petrus Monod, son of Claudius, could be the nephew of Stephanus Cigoen, son of Petrus. Petrus son of Claudius should have been a minor in 1530 (thus born after 1505). For the moment, the best solution seems to be to emphasize the direct relationships stated in the terriers (such as parent, child, sibling, grandfather), and to treat the less direct relationships such as nephew, cousin, etc. less literally. The first inconsistency is a statement first encountered in Fg 52 (fol. 170v, 1531) that Petrus Mayor/Monod, son of the late Claude (and, in Fg 125, fol. 201, referring to exactly the same reconnaissance in Fg 52, that Claude was in turn the son of Stephanus or Thivent Mayor/Monod), was the nephew of Stephanus son of Petrus Cigoen and his wife Stephana Mayor, daughter of Stephanus Mayor. But the relationships stated would make Petrus Mayor a cousin of Stephanus Cigoen, not his nephew. Further, there is a very direct statement in P de Mestral I 1507 (fol. 326v, 1488) that Aymonetus Mayor is the grandfather both of Stephana Mayor (wife of Petrus Cigoen) and of Mondetus Mayor, while in Fg 125, Claude Mayor son of Stephanus (and thus Claude should be the brother of Stephana) is a "cousin" of Petrus son of Mondetus Mayor. Thus, P de Mestral I 1507 puts an extra generation between Aymonetus and Mondetus. We show Petrus Cigoen as the husband of Stephana (direct evidence for that, since they appear together as husband and wife in P. de Mestral I 1507), and Claude as Stephana's brother. We also show Mondetus as a son of Aymonetus, making him the brother of Stephanus Mayor, because of a lack of any other evidence that there was an intervening generation.

Witness at the baptism was the father, Paul Claudon, in the name of Jean Claudon the younger, refugee at Basel. (This may be the same Jean Claudon who later baptised his children at Morges.) The child apparently survived at least until 1698, as he would be the son aged 8 years in the reguee census of that year.

Confirmed at Morges 30 mar 1714. He was presumably born about 1698 (so that the age at confirmation would be around 16), but we have not found a record of his birth. He probably was a son of Paul Claudon rather than Jean Claudon. The latter apparently removed to another parish in 1697.

A marginal notation beside the baptismal record notes that the record was copied and sent to another parish 28 nov 1697. This probably means that the family had moved, but we have not discovered their next destination.

First noted in Morges in 1688, apparently worked as a shoemaker there until at least 1711, when he was a sponsor at a baptism. He died before 1726, as his wife was a widow when she died that year. He appears in the 1693 list of Huguenot refugees at Morges with wife and two children; also at Morges in that list is a Sarraz (Sarah) Claudon with a daughter, both of these families from Barrois.
The enumeration of 30 sep 1698 lists him among the shoemakers (cordonniers) as follows:
"Paul Claudon de Vaubecour en Barrois aagé de 42 ans, et Marie Henrion sa femme aagée de 38 ans avec 2 garçons de 8 et 5 ans."
The list of 1698 does not show any other refugees surnamed Claudon or Henrion, which tends to confirm our observation that the family of Jean Claudon had moved out of the area about 1697.
[2949] Microfilmed file card of the Leiden Collection is unfortunately out of focus, year uncertain. Elsewhere, we find that t Microfilmed file card of the Leiden Collection is unfortunately out of focus, year uncertain. Elsewhere, we find that the protestant register at Nettancourt runs only a few years, approximately 1680-1685.
This would appear to be the Paul Claudon who appears in Huguenot records of London in the 1720's. He would be the son aged 5 years noted in the refugee census of 1698. The first appearance in London (records of the Leicester Fields Church) is a mention of "P. Claudon" as a witness at the wedding of Abel Panchaud and Marthe Calard 25 apr 1721. Two years later, 20 jun 1723, Paul Claudon is sponsor for the baptism of the same couple's first son, Paul.
This Paul appears to have been married twice, as he appears in 1725 with wife Antoinette (son Jaques b. 08 oct 1725, baptised at Leicester Fields 27 oct 1725). The second wife, Marie Anne Duvivier, is noted at Leicester Fields in 1729. Catherine Minck-Brandt discovered the second marriage at the French church of the Savoy (British National Archives RG4/4641).
