Baptised as Urbaine Reverdil. As the other Urbaine Reverdil baptised about the same time was the wife of Pierre de Montay of Geneva, this one must be the "Jeanne Urbaine Reverdil" who married Pierre Mayor of Ballens.

Her name was transcribed into the International Genealogical Index as "Vebain", but the baptismal records for her children show the middle name Urbaine, and a surname that is difficult to read. The name is one of the most difficult to read, because in the old script it requires several discontinuities and contains letters that are usually ambiguous. Some records seem to show the final consonant as a "t" or an "s". Transcriptions such as Reverdy and Roverdil are also possible. The name is known in the bourgeoisie of Nyon as early as 1490.

The Dictionnaire Historique (Mottaz 1914) sheds further light on the origin of the family. On 14 nov 1476, Pierre Reverdil de La Pierre from St. Maxime in the diocese of Tarentaise was appointed rector of a new hospital at Nyon (the Maladière, a hospice for lepers). There were some years of administrative squabbles, but he remained in that position at least 15 years. If the Reverdil family maintained some sort of interest in the field of medicine, it is easy to imagine that Pierre Mayor trained with one of them and thus encountered Jeanne Urbaine Reverdil. There is so far no evidence as to how Pierre Mayor acquired his training.

Probably the best clue we have is the presence of Claude Damond or his daughters at baptisms of the children of Pierre Mayor and his wife Jeanne Urbaine Reverdil. Urbaine the daughter of Jean Mathieu Reverdil was the second cousin of Claude Damond. However, if Egrège François Reverdil was the son of Nicolas Reverdil, as suggested by one inscription in the church records that cannot be read with certainty, it turns out that Urbaine the daughter of Jean Jaques Reverdil is also a second cousin of Claude Damond. Therefore, we had no choice but to await further developments. The marriage of Jeanne Urbaine Reverdil and Pierre Mayor has not been located, and it is not certain that the baptisms of all of their children have been found. In fact, we wonder if Pierre Mayor might have moved his family to another parish to further his career. Another source that should be explored is the records of the courts at Nyon, which might show the wife of Pierre Mayor inheriting property from her Reverdil relatives. But as far as we have been able to ascertain from the church records and the records of the notaries, there were only two Revderdil girls bearing the name Urbaine, and when we finally discovered that the daughter of Jean Jaques Reverdil had married Pierre de Montay of Geneva in 1676, it became clear that the remaining one, the daughter of Jean Matthieu, must have been the wife of Pierre Mayor of Ballens. [2631] Date of birth of last child. Records of Bière need to be checked for later references and perhaps a burial record.
[14714] There is long gap in the marriage records of the parish of Bière at this period. The marriage is not recorded at Nyon, and we have searched most of the parishes between as well, with negative results.
