He appears as a sponsor for a baptism in 1577, suggesting that he was probably born about 1560 or perhaps earlier. He is also named specifically in the baptism of his daughter Jeanne in 1584. There does not seem to be any later record of Félix or his family. The other Félix Mayor who appears in later records with his brother Jaques, the minister, is the son of Pierre Mayor, first cousin to Humbert Mayor. The present Félix was thus second cousin to the other Félix and his brother Jaques.

Which Félix Mayor married Marie Valier? We may not have got it right! A document recorded 27 jul 1691by Gaspard Mayor, notary (ACV DB 27), claims that Gaspard is an "uncle" of Louise and Susanne Mayor, children of the late Félix Mayor. However, this may simply be a case of the use of "oncle" in the sense of "oncle à la mode de Bretagne", which usually means first cousin once removed. Gaspard's father was the uncle of the father of Louise and Susanne.

There were two contemporary Francois Mayors in 1569, one son of late Claude, the other son of Pierre, living in adjoining houses. The identification of Pierre son of Francois Mayor in later records is tenuous: Francois son of Claude had a daughter Jaquemaz in 1578. A record in 1601 involves Jaquemaz daughter of the late Francois, her sister Pernon, and Pierre son of the late Francois, thus raising the possibility that all three are children on the same François. However, this Pierre seems to be much too old to have been the child of the younger François, "pupil" about 1568, who was the father of Jaquemaz and Pernon.
Further, dates of the children make this highly unlikely. The first group of children associated with Francois Mayor, here attached to Pierre, were all born well before 1570, as they were all of marriageable age by the 1580's. The second group consists of 2 daughters of Francois Mayor, one known to be daughter of Francois son of Claude. Both of these children were born around 1580. Thus, references to Pierre son of late Francois occurring in the 1590's and later would seem to apply to the grandson of Pierre exclusively, the other, younger Francois having no son Pierre, and possibly only the two daughters. Francois the son of Claude was still known as the "pupil" of Claude around 1570.
The assignment of Collarde Messieux, widow of the late Francois Mayor, to Francois the son of Pierre depends on a document of 02 sep 1581, Claude Mayor notary, regarding Collarde's remarriage to Claude Bergier, witnessed by another Francois Mayor. The latter is presumed to be the son of Claude, since no other is mentioned at that era, and therefore Collarde could not have been the wife of the younger Francois Mayor.

The eldest son of the elder Claude Mayor, he took the oath of office for the "mayorie" of Ballens at Romainmôtier on 07 jul 1556 (see the document to this effect in our notes on his father). Also implicit in this document is that he should have reached the age of 25, the age of majority.

This was the Francois who in 1569 was described as the "pupil" (orphan, and presumably below the age of majority) of the late Claude Mayor, and who at that time owned 1/2 of a house, the other half owned 3/4 by Mauris Saudan and 1/4 by Pierre Saudan, relationship not stated. In 1567, apparently the same François, son of Claude, is listed as a property owner at Ballens (Claude Mayor, notary, ACV DB 26/1, fol. 8v, 26 dec 1567). In that transaction, Claude is not identified as deceased. In 1581, Claude Mayor notary recorded a contract relating to the marriage of Collarde Messieux, widow of the late Francois Mayor. Among the witnesses was another Francois Mayor, so the younger Francois, the son of Claude, was not the husband of Collarde.
François Mayor "dit Graton" (this alias has been found, apart from this mention, only in connection with Claude Mayor and his widow Hennarde) was already dead by 13 oct 1583, when "his heirs" are mentioned as adjoining land owners at Ballens "eys Allegerz" in a document concerning a sale by Lyonnard Bachellard and his wife Genon Monod (ACV DB 26/5 fol. 72v).
In the terrier ACV Fh 31, we find François fils de feu Claude Mayor as the owner of various properties (fol. 96, but this terrier is a summary of other records and contains no dates). A related terrier, Fh 175, dates from 1622 and contains extensive paraphrases or perhaps quotations from a missing terrier of 1570 by Commissaires Dunant and Tripod. Fh 175 quotes a reconnaissance by Claude son of Jaques Mayor of Mollens acting as the guardian of François Mayor of Ballens, and the individual properties can be matched with those of François fils de feu Claude Mayor in Fh 31. Thus, François was still a minor as of 09 jun 1570, but had reached the age of 25 by the time Fh 31 was compiled, perhaps around 1580. The selection of Claude Mayor of Mollens as his guardian undoubtedly reflects a close relationship between them.
[51] "Pupil" means "ward", so it is likely he was adopted by Claude Mayor, and is actually a nephew of Claude. "Pupil" means "ward", so it is likely he was adopted by Claude Mayor, and is actually a nephew of Claude.

Noted as the sister of Jeanne Mayor whose husband was Vincent Valotton in a partage executed the same day and with the same witnesses as the sale by Michel Mayor's widow Barbille, 11 nov 1616, Claude Mayor notary. The interests of Francoise are handled by Isaac Monod, but it is not clear why he was chosen to act for her. By 30 sep1618 (ACV FH 173 fol. 485) she was the widow of the late Vulliesme DuNant vivant bourgeois de Lausanne. The property for which she and her sister Jeanne made a "reconnaissance" 04 oct 1618 (ACV FH 173 fol. 485) was a half interest held previously by her father Michel Mayor, the other half by Félix Mayor and his brother the minister Jaques Mayor. Since Félix was the son of Humbert Mayor, this division arose because Humbert was a brother of the father of Michel, but no proof has been located.
