While it seems certain that this François was the father of Barthelemi Melly, it is a little less certain that the same François was married previously to Claudine Gaçon. There is even the possibility of an earlier marriage, as there is a Jean Louis Melly baptised in 1691, son also of François Melly. So far, we have found no evidence that would clarify whether we are dealing with one man, or two, or perhaps even three of the same name.
