 Judicq Alavoine is entered as married to Ambrose Pointer (or Pointier). In Artillerie Register in 1719 we find Judith Alavoine married to Jaques Godin. Samuel Alavoine, who died in 1746, had a daughter, Esther Deheulle, and another daughter, Mary (died 1767, aged 72), wife of John Terron (died 1776, aged 91). Mr Abraham Deheulle, who died in 1763, was the father of Esther (died 1782), wife of Richard Dalton, Esq. The father of Mrs Moses Delahaize was Daniel Alavoine (born 1662, died 1729).

The surname Ouvry occurs in the registers under the various spellings of Oufrey, Oufry, Ovre, Ouvres, Overy. On 5th June 1708, the Duke of Marlborough writes to the Earl of Pembroke, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in favour of Major Ovray, who, having served the crown for thirty-six years was about to retire from the army in order to settle in Ireland, and “always behaved himself, as his officers inform me, with honour and reputation.” The purport of the Duke’s request to the Earl is, “Bestow upon him some mark of your favour and goodness. Enable him to support himself and his family with comfort, and in a manner some way suitable to the character he has borne.”

I could not find room for Mr Delahaize’s will in my volume second. I supply the defect now. The following is an exact copy, except as to some of the names. I have not thought it necessary to follow the testator in changing Ouvry into Ouvery, or Aimé into Amy.

Item, I give unto the said Francisca Ouvry the sum of £2000, and unto the said Ann Garnault the sum of £2000, and unto the said Sarah Garnault, the daughter, the sum of £3000.
