Notes for Jean (vi) Boileau
19[C-D, III, 385] Sergeant-Major in Piedmont, died at Candal.
15[BBB]: It is a possibility that the unit was part of some private army, and that [his brother] Claude took service under the Duke of Savoy in Piedmont. This seems to have been true of Jean vi, who is said to have been a 'Sergeant-Major en Piedmont'. This connects with the grant of a commission in this rank in the troops of M de Chatillon de Coligny, the Huguenot leader) in 1617 by the Duke of Savoy to the Sieur de Boileau. De Chatillon sent some troops to the Duke from his private army about that time. Jean vi is said to have died at Candel, but this cannot be positively identified.
