Notes for Captain Charles (iii) Boileau
Captain in the Regiment of Normandy.
[BBB]: Lieut in the regt de Normandie 1734, but he must have been serving in the regt before then, perhaps as a cadet, for he is stated to have served in the campaigns of 1733-35, in Germany; he also took part in the campaign of 1742 in Bavaria, but was then obliged to retire, to attend to his affairs at Castelnau, his father having died in 1741. He reached the rank of captain.
During 1733 the regt took part in the siege of Kelh; in 1734 it was in the attack on the lines of Ettlingen, and in the siege of Philipsburg. The latter fortress was strongly held, and made a stout resistance, conditions being worsened for the French by the Rhine overflowing and flooding the trenches, while both the garrison and the German force outside kept up a heavy fire on the besiegers. In 1742 the regt marched from La Rochelle to Bavaria, a distance of 650 miles, and took part in the combat at Ebersberg, where it bore the brunt, and covered the retreat. It was later in the combat at Plan.
Charles m in 1765 Catherine de Vergese d'Aubussargues, a seigneurie not far from Castelnau, and they had nine children, of whom seven were living in 1790, viz: Simon-Charles-Barnabe, Frederic-Louis, Françoise v, Henri-Camille ii, Louis-Alphonse, Marguerite viii and Anne Augustine. Catherine was about 17 when she married.
Some confusion has arisen in consequence of mistaken assumptions by the compiler of the Innes chart. They start with the statement that Charles iii visited Spain and Portugal in 1754, and that he perished at Lisbon in the earthquake that took place there on 1st Nov 1755. It was in fact Charles-Daniel who resided at Lisbon, where he was in the wholesale wine trade, but he survived the earthquake, and Charles iii is not known ever to have visited Lisbon, anyway. He is shown as marrying Catherine as above, but no date is given, and they are credited with only five children.
Faced then with the marriage of a Charles in 1765, father of Simeon-Charles-Barnabe, the compiler of the chart invented a second Charles, s of the one supposed to have died in 1755; to this second Charles are given the dates of birth as 1745, marriage 1765 and death 1785, while he is credited with nine children, including Barnabe.
In the entry of the register of the marriage of Barnabe, Charles iii is said to have died in 1793, and Catherine in the commune of Nîmes 'le 4 Floreal et 2' the revolutionary equivalent for the 25th April 1793.
All four of Charles's sons duly proved their Nobility before the royal genealogists, as required for admission to royal schools and to military service as officers. To qualify for a commission in the Maison du Roi, or Household Cavalry, it was necessary to prove unbroken noble descent from before 1400, and this the eldest son Simeon-Charles-Barnabe, known by his last name, must have done satisfactorily, for he was commissioned into the Chevaux Legers, third seniority of the five Regiments forming the Maison du Roi. The Corps is described as being elegantly mounted on small horses, the officers' uniform being a coat of gold brocade, a silver helmet with plume, and a curled peruke to the shoulders. Barnabe served in the Corps for five years, until disbandment in 1787. His brother Frederic-Louis entered the Royal Corps of Artillery, Regiment de Metz, in 1786, while Henri-Camille ii joined the Royal Marine Corps in 1787.
