• Notes

  Birth: The sources list his birth in the parish of Ate-Croix, Fécamp. I have not been able to find that church or parish in Fécamp. According to LeForest: He was born at Sainte—Croixde Fécamp, capital of the canton in the present department of the Seine- Maritime, in Normandy. I can not be more precise about Sainte—Croix,probably a small church. At Fécamp, there is a river of the same name which empties into the English Channel. [1, 3, 4]
