Notes for Jacques I Boileau
19[C-D, III, 386] Jacques was a lawyer (s’attacha au Barreau), the author of the branch of the Boileau d’Uzès, whose descendants are in Dunkerque & at Saint-Domingue. He was Captain in the Régiment de Médoc.
15[BBB] claims that Jacques was the son of Honora de Blanche.
15[BBB]: “ Jacques i, who originated this branch, settled in Uzès through the family's connection there with Robert le Blanc, mentioned above, whose wife was a member of the old Noblesse of the town. Jacques, who was born in 1584, was a doctor of medicine (not an advocate, as stated in error in '1754', see 'C of N'), and was a leading man of Uzès.
He was in fact 1st Consul in 1619 and again in 1625. In the latter year he and the Royal Viguier were deputed to lay before the King a statement of the grievances of the townspeople, to which the King made a favourable reply.
Jacques having promised loyalty to the King for himself and his fellow-citizens was opposed to the party of the Duc de Rohan, which favoured rebellion. However, Jacques's views seem to have prevailed eventually with Rohan, for when the latter was leaving Uzès in 1625 the people accompanied him shouting 'Vive Dieu', 'Vive le Saint-Evangile', 'Vive Rohan son defenseur'. Jacques was trying to calm the crowd when the Duc, turning towards him, said "They would do better to shout 'vive le Roi' for what we must do is to try to secure a lasting peace".
In 1627, there was an assembly in the town, in Rohan's presence, of the deputies of the Huguenot towns of Lower Languedoc and the Cevennes, to consider whether they should join with the Huguenot forces of La Rochelle, then being besieged by the royal forces. The Consistory of Uzès was represented by the Minister and three deacons of whom Jacques was one.
But, by 1629, Protestantism in the south of France was crushed as a political force, and the privileges granted to the Huguenots began to be withdrawn. In consequence of Rohan's military activities, Jacques was saddled with greater burdens than he could withstand, and he was unable to enjoy the fruits of his estates, which were made the object of reprisals.
He married twice and had three sons: Pierre ii, Henri viii, Jean via, and a daughter Roze i. Little is known of the first two, and Jean died in his father's lifetime, leaving by his wife Catherine de Boyer six children, Jacques iii, Antoine iii, Henri v, Louis iii, David and Roze ii.
Jacques himself died in 1672.”
