John Moore Deputy Regr the 26th day of July 1785 at or near three o'clock in the afternoon. John Forsayth Sworn before me the 26th day of July1785 Jno Moore[10] Depy Regr [1] Paul Isaac VATEAU aka de VATEAU of Dundonald. LDS records include a Paul Isaac VATEAU b abt 1715 in Dublin, died 1817 Ohio. Since a life span of 102 is a little suspicions, I would not put too much stock in such birth date. He was apparently a son of a John VATEAU born in England about 1665. There was a son named Paul still alive in 1732, so it is possible that this is him – the son of John Jacob VOTAW aka VATEAU. This would make him a nephew of the deceased. Given that other family members went to America and the deceased Peter VATEAU had no sons, this makes sense. [2] Peter VATEAU (1700-1778). A source that verified and tied many pieces together is: Ireland's Huguenots and their refuge, 1662-1745: an unlikely haven. Raymond Hylton Sussex Academic Press. 2005. Peter VATEAU aka Pierre VATEAU was born abt 1700 in London and died 15 April 1778 in Dublin. His parents were Isaac VATEAU (VOTAW) who died in 1733 & Mary Magdalen VAUTRIN (KUTRIN). His father was a leather tawer (chamoiseur) and it seems that his son carried on the trade since Sir Arthur Vicars Index to the Prerogative Wills of Ireland has a 1778 entry for Peter VAUTEAU, Fade Street, Dublin, tanner. This would be a logical fit for the JACKSONs of Dundonald since at least some of them were known to be in the leather trade. He seems to have done well for himself: In 1758 Pierre had acquired the lease to five somewhat ancient houses in the portion of the Dean and Chapter of Christchurch Cathedral, lying between Bride street and Little Ship Street. Here became a Freeman of the Merchant Guild in 1727 and an elder at French Patrick's, leaving a bursary of 30 pounds per annum for the preaching of a special sermon at St. Luke's Church every Wednesday evening. His wife Madeleine née Bureau passed on 26 January 1787 at which time the family died out. [3] Samuel JACKSON There is a Samuel JACKSON b abt 1737 in Carrickfergus, Co. Antrim who married a Hester de VATEAU aka VATEAU. I doubt if he is the same person. The history here is quite murky and not totally to be trusted. Sources and allegations about VATEAU-connections to Samuel JACKSON in this time frame and place include: · DESCENDANTS OF EDWARD III. A Continuation of the Marquis de Ruvigny's. The Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal, There are no sources given and the description is quite suspect. This source has a Samuel JACKSON as a son of Joseph JACKSON (1690-abt 1766) and allege that he died in Augusta co, VA and that he married ca 1760, in Augusta Co, VA, a Martha VATEAU (born ca 1739, Dublin). Even at this, it is likely another VATEAU-JACKSON marriage.in 1760 in Virginia.
