Descendants of Raulin Benest
|
This tree was previously Descendants of Josue Benest, based on one in Payne's Armorial of Jersey, but containing very few dates. A major review of the tree was carried out in 2019 by Guy Dixon and, although the position of one or two individuals is still open to question, and some dates are approximate, we now have much more confidence in this descendancy, which links to an earlier tree Benest family page and links to other trees
Record Search
You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates. The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

Notes and references
- ↑ Initials and dates engraved at Mon Plaisir, St Lawrence: "RB:SBH 1670" and 1676, the latter date perhaps occasioned by alterations
- ↑ The St Lawrence Marriage entry in 1663 reads: "Mr Raulin Benest jun: [et] M[se] Sara Bailhache." Sara Bailhache came from an affluent St Lawrence family, most of whose male members were merchants and shipowners in St Aubin
- ↑ Of Mon Plaisir (St L); Constable of St Lawrence 1703-1705
- ↑ Messervy confirmed that Raulin's wife was Elizabeth Ahier: ABSJ VI, 261
- ↑ Jean`s godparents were mistakenly omitted in the church register
- ↑ Godparents: Jean Le Brun; Josué Ahier, Rachel Hamptonne widow of David Patriarche [Bailhache relatives]
- ↑ Godparents: Georges Benest [uncle]; Jean Le Gallais and Anne Patriarche, his wife [Bailhache relatives]
- ↑ The placement of Raulin and his three children is derived from the Armorial of Jersey, 124. While possible, it will nevertheless need verification from the Jersey Land Registry
- ↑ Elizabeth Le Gallais' identity, from an online source, is as yet unsubstantiated
- ↑ Heiress, passing Mon Plaisir to the Pallot family
- ↑ Godparents: Raulin Robin and Marie Bailhache, his wife
- ↑ Godparents: Josué Ahier, Rector, Salomon Pipon and Elizabeth Bailhache, his wife
- ↑ Godparents: Nicolas Bailhache and Elizabeth Benest
- ↑ Godparents: Captain George Benest and Marie Monamy, his wife
- ↑ Sara's baptism entry is missing; however, André Migault, described as Oncle was godfather to their great-nephew, André Benest, in 1774, so the placement, from the Armorial of Jersey, is no doubt correct
- ↑ Rector of St Saviour, Guernsey
- ↑ Godparents; Jean Le Couteur and Elizabeth, his sister
- ↑ Fils Aaron Benest
- ↑ Payne thought the next generation`s Philippe died in 1764. The latter was still living in 1768, whilst this generation's Elizabeth Mauger (a godmother) was the widow of that year. The 1706 godparents of Philippe were Philippe Le Couteur and his sister, Marie
- ↑ This marriage entry has not been found; it may have taken place in Guernsey, where the surname Mauger is common and where André Migault was a minister. It would also explain the absence for all four of their children of a baptismal entry in Jersey. Elizabeth Mauger was described in 1768 as the widow of Philippe Benest, when she stood as godmother of Philippe Benest, son of Philippe, son of Philippe, to whom she was grande-mère as well as godmother
- ↑ Perhaps born, with his siblings, in Guernsey. Godparents in the next generation confirm all their placements within the family, with the exception of George, who may have died before then
- ↑ Godparents confirm Philippe`s parents, as well as grandparents. He was described, on christening, as "son of Mons. Philippe Benest and of Mse Jeanne Hamon", with the godparents: Captain Philippe Vinter [Winter] senr. and Elizabeth Mauger, widow of Philippe Benest, grandmother of the child. The child was described on marriage in 1796 as "Gentleman", a rank that has no legal bearing on class or family but was from the 1790s consistent with his being a Lieutenant in the Militia
- ↑ 58th Regiment
- ↑ Godparents: Rev André Migault, uncle, and Elizabeth Mauger, widow of Philippe Benest, grandmother
- ↑ Godparents: Philippe Benest, father, representing Charles Shireff, uncle and Jenny Benest representing Sara Benest, wife of Charles Shireff, aunt
