At first, we thought she might be the "Ellen" Newkirk who married Perry Reymond. But the 1860 census shows that the wife was Louisa E. Suddenly it became clear that Pierre-Arnold Borel might have misinterpreted the list of children associated with Louise Miville. He gives the list as "Louise, Hélène, Pierret, et Charles", but the 1850 census shows Ellen, Perret, and Charles. Since punctuation was rarely used, or if used at all, used inconsistently in Swiss records of this era, it is entirely possible that the list that Borel discovered should be interpreted as "Louise Hélène, Pierret, et Charles", thus three children instead of four. In that case, "Louise Hélène" would be the same person as the Ellen listed on the 1850 census and Louisa E. Reymond on the 1860 census.

He had been the Châtelain at Ormont-Dessus at some point before the marriage of his son Louis in 1689.
Which one was the father of Moyse? The marriage record of Moyse Nicolier and Marie Perrod in 1731 specifies that Louis had already died, and that he lived at Rosey (Rosé, Rosex). There were several men of the same name toward the end of the 17th Century, but we found only one matching this description, the one who married Esther Ballif in 1689.
His marriage record says he was the son of the former Châtelain of Ormont-Dessus, Louis Nicolier. At the baptism of his first child in 1690, he is likewise described as "enfant du Châtelain".
