Record in the National Archives at Kew. Jean Sabatier (SP 34/ 29 /7a) on microfilm. These proved
to relate to an elderly, formerly wealthy man who had fallen on hard times by 1710. He had
left France 25 years previously, ie in 1685, and so may not have been related, but he could
have been the father of David, who we know had died by 1716, when his son (also Jean) married
Catherine Thabary (or Tabary). He was petitioning Queen Caroline, so was therefore known to her, for a pension so as to support his family. He said he had lost his businesses in London and in sugar in the West Indies through fire and shipwreck,when he lost his oldest son. This could have been David, as David disappeared from the record by about 1704, amply before 1710.The other Sabatier references in the archives were to were legal cases: Sabatier v BAKER, 1769, Nourse v Sabatier, 1769, Sabatier v Puget, 1760. It is quite likely these were London merchants, but Chancery records can be very tricky to work through, and of course the dates do not help with David Sabatier. The children attributed to him all appear in the record somewhere around the right time. I therefore add them here and invite anyone with information to please get in touch. |
