He and his wife made a "reconnaissance" 19 may 1452 for property at Ballens (ACV IB 295a/735, in two parts, both signed Fabri). The following persons are mentioned as holders of adjacent parcels: Andreas Maency, Stephaneta wife of Johannes de Frigidavilla (she apparently held some property jointly with Roleta), Petrus Lanber (Lamber, Lambert) as leaseholder from the heirs of Petrus de Mollens and also from Johannodus Borrel, Girardus Barberi (i.e., Barbier), unnamed heirs of Johannes Vachetaz, Bisuncius de Frigidavilla, Francescia daughter of the late Mermetus Mathey, Johannes Martini, Huguetus Soudans, Michael Germanet, Aymonodus Mayor. Witnesses included Bisuncius de Frigidavilla, Aymonodus Mayor, Claudius de Frigidavilla, Perronetus de Mediavilla, and his son Johannes de Mediavilla. The properties in the second of the two reconnaissances were inherited from Johannodus and Cristinus Vachetaz of Ballens.
The alias Bosson is sometimes applied to Girardus. Bosson was an alias applied to his wife Roleta de Eschandens, and in turn seems to come from her father, Johannetus de Eschandens alias Bosson. The fact that Petrus Cigoen was also known by the alias Bosson is taken as evidence that he is another son of Girardus Cigoen, for there seems no other explanation for the use of the alias.

He is mentioned in 1449 as a property owner at Ballens (ACV C XX 18/5, 12 jan 1449). He is presumed to be the father of Girardus, who was an adult as early as 1452.
From ACV Fh 137, fol. fol. 850 (07 feb 1508 Style of the Nativity), we see that Petrus Cigoen alias Bosson was the father-in-law of Petrus Mayor junior, and that the latter, therefore, must have married a daughter of Petrus Cigoen. The solution seems to be implied in Fh 144, fol. 319v, a reconnaissance for Petrus filius quondam Mondeti Mayor de Ballens necnon Stephani filii quondam Petri Cigoen de Ballens, dated 30 nov 1523, in which Petrus filius quondam Mondeti Mayor de Ballens agens in hac parte suo necnon Stephani filii quondam Petri Cigoen eiusdem loci de Ballens absentis nominibus, in sequendo formam et tenorem cuiusdam alterius recognicionis tam per predictum Petrum Cigoen tutorem et administratorem et eo nomine eiusdem Stephani Cigoen et Johannete eiusdem Petri liberorum et quondam Stephane eius uxoris filie quondam dicti Stephani Maior, recognize several properties. The earlier reconnaissance, involving Petrus Cigoen as guardian for his children Stephanus and Johanneta by his late wife Stephana Mayor, establishes the identities of the children of Petrus Cigoen, and the additional information from other sources (see below) makes it clear that it should be through the daughter Johanneta that Petrus Mayor son of Mondetus Mayor would become the son-in-law of Petrus Cigoen.
This implied marriage, and the relationships stated in Fh 137 and also in P de Mestral I 1507, fol. 326v (23 jun 1488) are consistent with the following family tree:
Aymonetus (1) Mayor had sons Aymonetus (2) and Stephanus Mayor.
Aymonetus (2) Mayor had a son Mondetus who in turn had a son Petrus Mayor junior, who was still under the age of majority in 1488.
Stephanus Mayor had a daughter Stephana who married Petrus Cigoen alias Bosson. The reason we connect Mondetus son of Aymonetus and Stephana daughter of Stephanus in this way (making them first cousins) is because P de Mestral I 1507, fol. 326v (1488) also says that Aymonetus Mayor (meaning presumably Aymonetus (1)) was the grandfather of both of them. In turn, this statement assures us that Stephana is not a daughter of Petrus Cigoen by another wife.
Stephana and Petrus Cigoen were apparently the parents of the wife of Petrus Mayor junior, in order that his father-in-law could be Petrus Cigoen/Bosson.
In this scenario, Petrus Mayor junior and his wife would be second cousins, a permissible degree of relationship.

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; rather, their grandfather was actually, as far as we know, Stephanodus Mayor.) The alias Bosson comes from Roleta de Eschandens, wife of Girardus Cigoen.
A citation that needs to be studied further is in the terriers ACV Fh 198, fol. 452, a reconnaissance dated 07 jun 1496 Style of the Nativity by Petrus Cigoen de Ballens veluti tutor et administrator et eo nomine Stephani et Johannete liberorum suorum et quondam Stephane sue uxoris filie quondam Stephani, et Petrus Mayor filius quondam Mondeti Mayor de Balens, and then restated as to their respective roles, videlicet dictus Petrus Cigoen nomine dictorum suorum liberorum, et ipsius Petris Cigoen et Petrus Mayor tam suo nomine privato quam etiam nomine Glaudii filii dicti quondam Stephani Mayor. Among the witnesses is a Johannetus Cygoen de Ballens. Among other implications, this reconnaissance places the death of Stephanus Mayor before 1496, and appears to provide independent confirmation of this difficult genealogy.

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.
