♀Claudée Pertuisot

Claudée Pertuisot was a townswoman of Troyes, in the province of Champagne^W, France, in the first years of the seventeenth century. She was the tenth great-grandmother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), through her son Nicolas Housseau (1605–1670).

Claude Housseau and his wife, Claudée Pertuisot, brought their son Nicolas to the parish church of Saint-Jean in Troyes to be baptized on 22 April 1605. The register calls the child “Nicolas filz de Claude Housseau et Claude pertuisot sa femme” and names two godfathers, one of them Augustin Gauthier, and a godmother. No record of the couple’s own births, marriage or deaths is known.

Notes

The baptism of 1605

The couple are known from the baptism of their son Nicolas in the registers of the parish of Saint-Jean, Troyes (baptisms 1605–1609, Archives départementales de l’Aube). The register writes the mother’s given name as “Claude”. The Fichier Origine entry for their granddaughter Marguerite Housseau, baptized at Saint-Jean in 1641, also names Claude Housseau and Claudée Pertuisot as her father’s parents and gives Nicolas’s baptism as 22 April 1605.
