The brother of Baron D’Hervart was a refugee in Holland; he was styled Jean Henri Hervart Du Fort. While in France he was Sub-Comptroller of the National Finances. He died at the Hague, 18th February 1729. He had a son, Philibert Hervart, who was living at the Hague in 1720, and a daughter, Reigne Sabine, who married in Holland. Another daughter, Anne Mary Hervart, who died in 1773, was the wife of Peter Vatas, M.D., of Wardour Street, London. The doctor’s children were the Rev. Peter Vatas (died 1800), Major John Vatas (died 1795), Louise Frances (born 1718, died young), Antoinette Madeleine (born 1719, died 1778), Judith Susanne (died 1800), and Sabine (died 1811). Of these Sabine, or (in English) Sabina Vatas, was the last of her family, and proved the wills both of her brother Peter and of her sister Judith in 1800. The Rev. Peter Vatas was educated at Westminster, from whence he was elected to Oxford, where he became B.A. in 1741, and M.A. in 1743; he was a Senior Student (equivalent to a Fellow) of Christ Church; he was Perpetual Curate of Caversham, Oxfordshire, for fifty years (in 1780 he was presented to the living of Wanley in Essex) from the date of his graduation as B.A. I conjecture that he was born in 1719, and thus he died at the age of eighty-one, as stated in Alumni Westmonasterienses. Major Vatas was of the 10th Regiment of Foot.
