Her testament was recorded 16 oct 1617 by the notary Denis Pivard (ACV DL 72 fol. 176).

Evidently Maurice had twin children by a woman named Bessond. The baptism says that the children were presented "tous deux en un mesme berceaux", with a marginal notation, "bastard et bastarde bessond".
Second known child Claude, born in January, 1592, noted as posthumous, so Anthoine must have died in 1591.

At least one record calls her Besson instead of Bessonet.

The marriage records for his children are consistent in the spelling of his name, and the similar name Buttex (Jaques Jaquier, notary at Moudon, ACV DL 52/1). In spite of this, the church records at Granges are suspected of confusing the two names, for we find the baptism of Jaques son of François Buttex "depuis curial à Granges". No such title is mentioned for either François Buttex or his son Jaques in the marriage contracts, but François Bettex is given various titles such as Curial and Secrétaire de Lucens. While the baptisms at Granges seem to belong to the Buttex family, some doubt remains.
