Apparently, all of this family found their way to the area around Villette, perhaps when his widow married Jaques Parisod. This migration appears to be the origin of most of the Marguerons who appear in records of the district of Lavaux. For a time, the Marguerons were distinct from the indigenous Marguerat family, but eventually, through a process of phonetic convergence, both names apparently came to be spelled Marguerat, at least much of the time. By the late 18th Century, the spelling Margueron seems not to be used at all in this district.
Walter Lacher (La chronique de Pal�zieux, 1955) believed this Pierre Margueron was a notary at Hautcr�t in 1595. That may be a different man. But the Pierre we find near Villette certainly seems to be the same one mentioned at Pal�zieux!
Among other reasons:
02 may 1581, Fran�ois Chevalley, notary at Oron: Jean Misset of Oron owes a sum of money to Claudaz, widow of Pierre Margueron d'Aultcrest, tuteur of her children, etc.
24 aug 1595, Fran�ois Pache, notary at Oron: Marriage of Jean son of the late Rod Pasche of Oron-la-Ville to Susanne daughter of the late Pierre Margueron, represented by Pierre Margueron and his brothers Claude, Jean, and Jaques, from the parish of Chastilliens, with the dowry augmented by Claudaz, wife of Jaques Parisod of Chastagniez, mother of the bride.
16 nov 1595, E. Dance, notary at Villette: Marriage of Claude son of the late Pierre Margueron of Pal�zieux, assisted by his brother Discret Pierre Margueron, to Jaquemaz daughter of Jaques Parisod of Chastagnier, parish of Villette.
06 mar 1602, register containing "actes judiciaux � Pal�zieux" (unidentified notary, ACV DO 42/2): document concerning taxes assessed against Pierre Margueron, notary residing at Epesses. A similar document of 20 aug 1603 concerns his brothers Jean and Jaques, of Villette.
30 sep 1603, Jaques Gerbex, notary at Villette: Discret Pierre Margueron, originally from Pallexieu, says he has been a resident of the parish of Villette since his youth and has even married into one of the old families. Accordingly, he is received into the bourgeoisie.
17 nov 1603, Jaques Gerbex, notary at Villette: Discret Pierre Margueron is this time received into the bourgeoisie of Epesses, and he is described as a notary, originally from Pallezieux in the Bailliage of Oron.
09 apr 1621, Pierre Margueron, notary at Villette: Jaques Margueron of Chastagniez, parish of Villette, in his own name and as father and legitimate administrator of Bernard, Barthollomey, Jeremie, and Estiennaz his children by his late wife Louise, daugher of the late Claude Parisod and of the late Barbelle Piccard, sells property.
Thus, it appears that the notary cited at Hautcr�t circa 1595 would have to be the son of the original Pierre, and that the family soon found their way to the estate of the second husband of Claudaz, at Chastagniez (modern Chatagny). In turn, this situation makes us wonder if Claudaz "Grysodi" is actually of the same family as the Jean Grissod, with connections in the area of Villette, whose daughter figures in the ancestry of the Planche family (another family with ties to Villette!).
Lacher cites the marriages of two additional daughters, Fran�oise and Pernette, added here.
He and his sons Pierre, Vulliesmoz, Jaques, and Jean agree to divide property held jointly 08 jan 1634 (Jean Joran, notary at Lutry), but the property is not specifically identified. Pierre is identified in that document as a notary, residing at Epesses. He might be the Pierre Margueron of Lustry whose wife was Claudine Perret or Perrey, cited in records of Gabriel Milliquet, notary at Lausanne, 08 apr 1619.
MARRIAGE: 15 JUN 1609, Bussigny-sur-Morges, Vaud, Switzerland

A document of Antoine Piccard, notary at Lutry, 19 sep 1637, involves a boundary dispute between Pierre Margueron "demeurant au Curtinaux" and Baptiste Blanchod "demeurant au Chastellard". Evidently the same Pierre was the father of at least three sons who appear in other records of the same notary as late as 1648. No connection to the Margueron family at Montagny is noted in these records. A Pierre Margueron, bourgeois de Payerne but living at Lutry, is mentioned at Payerne 30 dec 1574 (Jean Amey Bondu, ACV DP 11/3).

Marriage record specifies that Pierre is from Lutry, and that his bride is the widow of Henri Dappaz of Bussigny. The same day, Pierre's son Aym� married the daughter of Henri.
Baptismal record has parents as Isaac Margueron and Esther his wife. This could be an error, as there is some reason to suppose that Isaac may have died by this time, and the child fits into a gap in the known children of Jaques and his wife Esther Buttin. There seems to be no further mention of this child.
MARRIAGE: 24 AUG 1595, Oron-la-Ville, Vaud, Switzerland

Marriage contract recorded by Fran�ois Pache, notary at Oron, 24 aug 1595, for Jean son of the late Rod Pasche d'Oron-la-Ville, to Susanne daughter of the late Pierre Margueron, represented by (her brother?) Pierre Margueron and his brothers Claude, Jean, and Jaques from the parish of Chastilliens, and the dowry of 80 florins and trousseau (from the groom's family) augmented by her mother Claudaz, now the wife of Jaques Parisod of Chastagniez.

Date of contract, Fran�ois Pache, notary at Oron.
In 1706, she seems to have been sharing an apartment in Lausanne, owned by Mr. de Bottens (Jean Jaques de Polier, Seigneur de Bottens), and directly above an apartment occupied by Mr. (Antoine) Auboussier, with two Dutoit sisters, presumably her
cousins. They were caught dancing on a Saturday night and had to pay a fine. It is very likely that they had also shared their apartment with Susanne's sister, Marie Ursule, before her marriage to Bernard Mourgue. (The cousins would presumably be
Marguerite Susanne and Christine Louise Dutoit, daughters of Thomas Dutoit and Estiennaz Portaz. They would be first cousins once removed.) In 1707, Susanne brought a complaint before the consistory of Lausanne regarding promises of marriage by
Mathieu Carbonnier. Later, Susanne and Mathieu agreed to be married and were told they had to post banns like everyone else.
