Notes for Maurice (i) Boileau
Most of their descendants stayed in France. The current lords of Castelnau are descended from this branch. 19[C-D, III, 387] gives only one more generation in detail.
I’m following the dates given by Lart which differ only slightly from those in C-D.

From BBB:15
“Maurice, seven years old at the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and probably taken from his parents under the decree of December 1685, by which every Protestant child from five to sixteen years old was to be taken from its parents and brought up as a Catholic. This certainly happened in Maurice's case, and it seems probable that his sister, the youngest child, Louise iv, only two at the time of the Revocation, was sooner or later also taken, as she remained in France, and eventually married a 'new convert'.”
“Maurice i, Charles's younger brother, continued the family in France. Taken from his parents to be brought up as a Catholic, it has been said that he was left to the care of servants and ran wild, and that when he grew up he dissipated much of the property, but there is no real authority for this. In 1714 the Intendant de Basville commented on him that he was rich, and without contradiction the worst 'New Catholic' in Languedoc; he was in consequence not allowed to sell a house to pay the debts of his de Vignolles grandfather.”
“As he was aged only 7 at the time of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, he would presumably have been removed from the care of his parents and brought up as a Catholic. It is said that he was neglected and ran wild, dissipating the property. He concluded certain financial arrangements with his brother Charles in 1717, by which the latter renounced in Maurice's favour all claims on the property in France, and who thus became Seigneur de Castelnau. He m 11 Dec 1708, Eve de Guiran, dau of the President of the Parliament of Orange, an historic town some fifty miles to the north of the Seigneury. They had issue : 12 children, of whom the following are known:- Henri vi, Jean-Louis ii, Anne iii, Marguerite v, Henri-Camille i, Marguerite-Francoise and Louis iv. Maurice d 1741.”
