The elder son of “de-Barraud”, was probably born around 1468, and there is mention of a "Pierre Barraud" a priest being given the ownership of a house and alleyway next to the church in Angoulême in 1497 by a Richard Leonard, and clear records of this agreement being renewed on 30th November, 1530 by the owners, Richard Leonard and William Richard. There are also records of a Pierre Barraud being a priest and canon in Angoulême in 1504. This is most probably the same Pierre Barraud.
