Pierre ‘Baraud’ (sic), b1640 and Phillippe Barraud b1645 who were brothers. It is extremely likely that these were the sons of Jean Barraud, a merchant and his wife, Marie Blanchard who were married in March, 1638. Jean Barraud was known to be a draper and he had among other things a mill located on the river Anguienne below the walls of the city of Angoulême. He was also a son of Pierre Barraud and Jean-de-Sansart, and therefore a brother of the Pierre Barraud who owned the Castle of Monbazillac, but as this information comes from several family trees in France, I can only assume they have researched the facts. It also seems that Jean Barraud and Marie Blanchard (his wife) also had a daughter Marie, born in 1642 and also possibly another daughter, Jacquette.
