Houblon.

There are several Houblon entries in the parish register of St. Antholin’s, London, which suggest the following enlarged pedigree. The dates are authentic, although the identification and filiation of individuals may not be successful.

Peter Houblon, “the confessor,” born 1557.
James Houblon, Father of the Stock Exchange, buried 28th June 1682. = Mary Du Quesne. Peter Houblon styled “senior,” in distinction from his nephew, buried 27th Jan. 1692 (n.s.). = Mary, buried 4th Aug. 1696. Paul Houblon, buried 4th April 1701.
Peter Houblon, buried 26th Dec. 1697. = Elizabeth Dingley, buried 25th Nov. 1697. Benjamin, baptized 26th March 1669, buried 26th Dec. 1674.
Sara, buried 21st May 1673. Peter, buried 27th Sept. 1714.

The following advertisement appeared in the London Gazette, 11th August 1747, “The creditors and legatees of Peter Houblon of the parish of St. Peter, Cheap: London, merchant, (who died upwards of forty years ago), whose debts and legacies remain unsatisfied, are desired forthwith to send an account of their respective demands to Henry Coulthurst, perfumer in Fleet Street near St. Dunstan’s church, London, in order to receive satisfaction for such demands.”

Jeune.

In addition to my account of the late Bishop Jeune’s ancestry, I give the following genealogy, abridged from the supplement to “Burke’s Landed Gentry.” A descendant of the Huguenot refugee in Jersey, named Francois, was born in 1719, and died in 1778, he having married, in 1743, Rachel, daughter of Jean de Carteret, jurat of the island. Their eldest son, Francois Jeune, of Les Vaux, married, in 1772, Maria Louise, daughter of Jean Carcos by Agnes Hue (daughter of Rev. Rodolph Hue, D.D., rector of St. Bulade); Mr. Jeune died at St. George, in the island of Grenada, in 1800. We now come to his descendants:—
