Jaquemaz CRESTIN (d. abt 1657)
He received a marriage settlement of 600 florins from the father of his wife 22 jun 1610 (Claude Mayor, ACV DB 26/9 fol. 88v).
He may have remarried. Jaquemaz Crestin, widow of the late Jean Jaques Mayor of Mollens recorded her testament 08 nov 1657 (Henri Bolay, notary, FHL microfilm #0920931), naming Jean Pierre Demont (of Apples or Lavigny, apparently), her son by her first husband, and the rest to "her children". There does not seem to be any other Jean Jaques Mayor at Mollens at this period.

Jean Pierre MAYOR (ID #I12373)
(male)
- BAPTISM: 8 APR 1688, Ballens, Vaud, Switzerland
- DEATH: aft 1759?
Father: Pierre MAYOR (bp. 2 JUN 1644)
Mother: Jeanne Urbaine REVERDIL (dates unknown)
Family 1
:
Anne Jeanne Barbille GUEX (d. 26 FEB 1759)
- Anne Marie MAYOR (dates unknown)
- +Gabriel MAYOR (d. 24 JAN 1790)
- Jean Samuel MAYOR (dates unknown)
- +Pierre François Félix MAYOR (b. abt 1715, d. bef 1781)
In a document recorded 23 feb 1715 (Daniel Marmet, notary, ACV DK 69/18), Discret Jean Pierre fils du Sieur Operateur Mayor de Ballens acknowledges a debt to "Jaqueline Mayor femme dudit Sieur Operateur". This and similar citations show that Pierre Mayor, the "Operateur", had remarried to Jaqueline Mayor by 1715.
Circumstantial evidence suggests this is the Jean Pierre Mayor who married Anne Jeanne Barbille Guex, but no strong evidence has yet come to light. The death of Anne Guex is clearly noted (_____ Guex wife of Jean Pierre Mayor) at Ballens, implying that her husband was then still alive. However, there is no recorded death of a Jean Pierre Mayor after the death of Anne Guex before 1793, suggesting that he may have died earlier.

Marguerite COUTURIER (dates unknown)
- MARRIAGE: 23 OCT 1750, St. Livres, Vaud, Switzerland
An important but obscure clue to his ancestry is contained in an account of the division of a woodlot called the Bois de Bourguignon in 1713-1714 (ACV DK 82/9, Jean Pierre Monod, notary, loose papers). Acting in his own name and with unnamed others (his "indivis"), he made a claim based on "droit de quart qui est la portion d'Abraham Convers", but retracted the claim apparently after settling with some of the other claimants. At first, we assumed that his claim actually related to the descent of the other claimants from Gabriel, son of Anthoine Monod.
However, the situation now seems more complicated. The titles upon which these claims were based (01 dec 1605 and 09 feb 1606, both recorded by Estienne Mayor) have not been located. But the terrier ACV Fg 159 (1678) shows that most of the property dependent on the Baron of Aubonne that was then owned by Eg. Jean Mayor, grandfather of the present Jean Samuel Mayor, had previously (1622, Fh 175) been owned by Jaquemaz Convers, widow of Isaac Monod. The same terriers also indicate that Isaac Monod and Jaquemaz Convers had a daughter Jeanne Monod. The conclusion seems inescapable that this Jeanne Monod was the one who married Eg. Jean Mayor. The father of Jaquemaz Convers was indeed Abraham Convers. We have not yet been able to connect Abraham with Isaac Convers, the father of one of the principal claimants, the minister Gabriel Convers. However, both Abraham and Isaac were the sons of a Pierre Convers who in turn was the son of a Jean Convers—but possibly not the same Pierre and not the same Jean!
