Hello to all This is my first listing so excuse any errors etc! I have, with reasonable certainty, traced my family back to Daniel deBOUFFLER who died in the Moorfields area of London in 1754 aged 81 i.e. he was born in 1673. In his will he refers to himself as Daniel deBOUFFLER but in the burial register of St Leonard's Church Shoreditch he is referred to as Daniel BOUFFLETT. His son was Thomas and both were Scaleboard Sellers (the material from which hat-boxes were made) as was Thomas' daughter. So far I have failed to find a record of Daniel's birth in England. I also have the following: 1). John BOUFFLER, OF Christchurch, Spitalfields, Middx. Weaver married to Susanne BATLE on 5th Sept 1726 in St Dunstans, Stepney. 2). Several children, off-spring of Jean BOUFFLET et Susanne BATAILLE, baptised in the French Church in Threadneedle Street. For one of them the Parrain was Thomas BOUFFLET! 3). From the Huguenot Society reproduction of the Temoignages for the Threadneedle St Church:- Jean deBOUFFLER: de Munster en Ireland. Temoigne: Anthoine BATAILLE. These raise several questions: a). Was deBOUFFLER the same as BOUFFLET the same as BOUFFLETT and was BATLE the same name as BATAILLE. My only problem with this is that I believe the names BOUFFLER and BOUFFLET exist in France today for distinctly different families. b) Was the "de" dropped by the clerk entering the information in both the Frenbch Church and St Leonards? (the "de" continued in my branch of the family until the mid-1800's). c) Was Jean deBOUFFLER de Munster en Irelande a member of King Williams Huguenot Army? d) Was Jean deBOUFFLER de Munster the same person as the John BOUFFLER married to Susanne BATAILLE in St Dunstans, Stepney? e) Maybe Daniel deBOUFFLER was born in France and fled to England around the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes! Any help - even the smallest clue, if you know anything about any of this, would help and be much appreciated. Regards to all John (BOUFFLER)
