He published a number of almanacs, the earliest of which calls him the schoolmaster of Cossonay. By 1620, he seems to have been a professor of mathematics at the Acad�mie de Lausanne.

In addition, on 15 may 1641, Their Excellencies of Bern authorized Jean Poitevin and the widow of Pierre Jenin of Jametz to print and sell an almanach, for which the manuscript had been prepared by Jenin for several years in advance (J.-H. Graf, Historische Kalender oder der Hinkende Bot, Seine Entstehung und
Geschichte, Bern, 1896, p. 10). This seems to prove that the first wife of Anne Malingre was named Poitevin, not Poeterlin.
For a discussion of the almanacs of the Pays de Vaud from the earliest times through the end of the ancien r�gime, see Marc Henrioud, "Les astrologues de Combremont-le-Petit et leurs almanacs (1697-1838)" (Revue historique vaudoise 21:65-71, 211-223, 225-237, 257-269, 1913).
Her portrait, painted in 1738 by "Ruber" (presumably someone from the von Rodt family of Bern), is part of the Gatschet archive, now in private hands in France. The label on the back of the portrait says she is "Suzanne Elisabeth de Genner", and that she married Niklaus Gatschet in 1735.

On pg 199 of Early History of Southampton, Long Island, NY by Howell, 1887 is a marriage date for John Jessup but no bride is listed. Is this the right John Jessup? Need to explore the Long Island records.
On internet (re Hildreths of Long Island) I came across a genealogy chart submitted by Jean Cloud (probably many years ago) in which she named a Joanne Kerrick as the wife of John Jessup. I find nothing to verify this and have found "Mary" listed as his wife. Perhaps he had more than one wife?
Further searching on the internet shows a John Jessup b. 1602 in Leiden, Netherlands, who died in Wethersfield, Hartford Co, CT in 1637/38. This John did have a wife, Joanna Kerrich/Kerrick, also born in Leiden and who died after 1648 in Stamford, Fairfield Co, Ct.
Other names on the pedigree (FamilySearch.org) were Smith, White, Porter, Swift and Charlesworth. Jessup is spelled also Jessop. The earliest Jessop was William from Yorkshire, Eng. As with so many pedigrees online, the dates shown are impossible, thus can't be taken very seriously.
English towns mentioned for the Jessup family were mostly in Yorkshire... were they somehow related to the Pilgrims?
Is the Frank F. Jewell who died in 1975 the one who married Jessie Whiteside? The latter, according to the 1930 census (Kansas City, Missouri), was a watchmaker, born in Kansas about 1895-1896, whose first marriage took place when he was 23 years of age (thus, about 1918-1919). His wife Jessie B. was age 39 (thus, born about 1890-1891, consistent with her death certificate but not some other sources), and was first married at age 16 (thus, about 1906-1907, but she could well have concealed her true age at the time she married Jesse Thomas).
