Jean Barraud, a merchant and his wife, Marie Blanchard 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. He was the father to Pierre Baraud (sic) and also Philippe Barraud who married Catherine Poisson. 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. Page 4
