This is the Claude Mayor identified as a notary, but deceased before 31 mar 1569 when the younger notary Claude Mayor, probably the son of the present Claude, recorded an exchange of property between Hugoz Meuraz bourgeois d'Aubonne, for his wife Guilliamaz, and Jean Folliex bourgeois d'Aubonne (ACV DB 26/1 fol. 93). The property that Meuraz conveyed to Folliex in this transaction was a vineyard at Aubonne, "en Cursillie", adjoining property of wife of Meuraz, property of Claude Clavel, property of Noble Michel de Lavigny, and "la vigne de Pernon fillie de feuz mre. Pierre Bellosat (or Bollosat?) relicte de feuz egrege Glaude Mayor".
The younger notary Claude Mayor also recorded a complex transaction 04 jan 1613 (ACV DB 26/2 fol. 36) which strongly suggests a close connection between the younger and the elder notaries. The transaction involves a vineyard at Aubonne "en Nonsering" which had been sold by Noble Fran�ois de Sivirier of Aubonne to Claudaz, daughter of the late Maistre Pierre Bollossat, bourgeois d'Aubonne for 60 florins on 20 jan 1538, recorded by Egr�ge Guillaume Billiard. Later, 09 dec 1538, de Sivirier had also sold his rights of redemption of that property to Claudaz. After the death of de Sivirier a legal process ensued, during which the claim to the vineyard was disputed. After a review of the documents and payment of taxes due, the vineyard had been awarded to the heirs of Claudaz, namely the late Egr�ge Claude Mayor and his wife, the daughter of the said Claudaz, 10 may 1554. (This would make sense if Claudaz had been the only one of the daughters of Pierre Bollosat to have left heirs.) Then, 29 apr 1610, the younger notary Claude Mayor, "cause ayant des susdits achepteurs" (meaning, in effect, he was in some sense the legal successor of the elder notary), had ceded the property to Pierre son of Fran�ois Mayor. That much constitutes the history of the vineyard. Then, 04 jan 1613, the said Pierre Mayor sold all of his rights to the vineyard, which was security for a loan to Odet Mon�, minister at Perroys, for a total of 600 florins, to Jaques Vochy, bourgeois d'Aubonne. The younger notary Claude Mayor could record this document because he had already sold his interest in the property. He would not have recorded transactions in which he was a party, and so his records tell us nothing further about his relationship to the elder Claude.
From a variety of sources, it is clear that Louis Mayor of Ballens was the son of the elder notary Claude Mayor. Further, there are mentions in the terriers suggesting that the (younger) notary Claude Mayor was a brother of Louis Mayor, a conclusion that we have accepted tentatively. Among other interesting documents, a "reconnaissance" dated 23 dec 1622 in the terrier for Ballens (ACV FH 175 fol. 11v), regarding property owned by Isaac son of the late Jaques Convers who was son of Jean Convers, cites a previous reconnaissance dated 01 mar 1570 from the previous terrier, compiled by George Dunant and Pierre Tripod, for property acknowledged by Discret Claude, Louis, and Fran�ois, sons of the late Egr�ge Claude Mayor. "Discret Claude Mayor" must be the younger notary, and the late Egr�ge Claude Mayor must be the older notary, the one who had married Pernon Bollosat. While we can follow the descendance of Louis, we are not sure which Fran�ois was the son of the elder Claude. Louis, son of the late Egr�ge Claude Mayor, made a "reconnaissance" on 16 jun1623 (fol. 90 of the same terrier ACV FH 175), in the course of which he is said to be the son of Egr�ge Claude the son of Jaques, who was apparently the son of Pierre Mayor (with reference to terriers of 1570 and one prior to that, possibly about 1516). The wording of the several references to Fran�ois Mayor whose guardian in 1570 was Claude Mayor de Mollens seems to imply that this was not the Fran�ois who was the brother of Louis and Claude.
With this background, it is possible to see in the terrier ACV FH 31 (undated, believed to be from about 1580-1585) a possible genealogy of these people: At that time, Discret Claude Mayor and his brothers Louis and Fran�ois held a 1/4 interest in various properties. Another 1/4 was held by Jaques Mayor son of Pierre, and his nephews Sulpice and Pierre, sons of Fran�ois Mayor. (From this we propose that Egr�ge Claude, the elder notary, was the brother of the Pierre who had sons Jaques and the late Fran�ois.) The remaining 1/2 of these properties was held by Fran�ois son of the late Claude Mayor. This proportion would result if the latter Fran�ois was the sole heir of his father Claude, who would in turn have been the only brother of Jaques, father of the elder notary. The property from Pierre, father of these two brothers Jaques and Claude must have descended to them undivided, and then to their respective sons, and then, still undivided, to the next generation.

Witness at baptism was Claude Mathey "albe(?) de Mollens". This was not Claude Mayor dit Mathey, wife Marguerite, because he is noted as having died before the birth of his last son David, baptised in June, 1584.

Parentage is listed as fille de Jaques Mat� alias Mayor. If Claudine is indeed the daughter of Jaques Mayor of Mollens, that means some or all of the Mathey records could belong with the Mayor family. This was the Claudine dau. of the late Jaques Mayor of Mollens whose marriage contract to Thieven son of the late Jean (?) Cohendoz is recorded 04 nov 1599 by Claude Mayor notary. This document features her brother Estienne, whose marriage contract to Esther Tripod is dated 06 nov 1599.

This is the Catherine Mayor who married Felix Rochat and appeared at various baptisms at Bi�re 1714, 1720, etc. It is still not know where this family lived, as no baptisms of their children have yet been found. Her baptism was found at Nyon, but it is likely that the baptisms of several of her siblings were performed at Bi�re, where there is a long gap in the records.
[2626] Parents listed as Pierre Mayor and Urbaine Reverdil, presented by Egrege et prudom Claude Damond Banderet de Nyon & Emilia Catherine de Crol sa femme.
[14582] Recorded at Romainm�tier with no details other than the notation that Felix was from Froideville and Claudine from Ballens.

He is likely the Jaques Eliz�e Mayor who had a sister Marie Judith Mayor, wife of Pierre Fran�ois Dunand of Bassins, subjects of a settlement 20 oct 1733 (ACV Bib 142, fol. 69). This settlement notes that Jaques Eliz�e had four living sisters in 1720, so there is evidently more to be learned about this family.

Entry in the baptismal register at Bi�re is almost illegible but clearly names the child and the parents. He must have died by 1618, because his father's will mentions son George Mayor and his two brothers, known to be Gabriel and Jean.

Listed as a brother of Jean Isaac Mayor at baptism of Jeanne Marie Mayor, apparently first child of Jean Samuel Mayor and his wife Susanne Mayor. As we have been unable to identify another Jean Isaac Mayor, this would appear to indicate that not all the baptisms for Pierre and Jeanne Urbaine's children have been located. Some may date from before 1670 in Biere, where there is a gap in the records between 1652 and 1670.
The first known citation is 29 mar 1702, when, along with his father, he witnesses a sale of property by Jean Baptiste Mayor of Ballens, justicier at Mollens, to Ferreol Convers of Ballens (Jean Pierre Monod, notary). The same notary recorded the marriage contract of Benedict, son of Pierre Mayor, operateur, 27 nov 1710. In the minutaire, the original signatures for this contract are visible, including "P. Mayor Opre." and "Estienne Benedicht Mayor". This notary also recorded the testament of Estienne Benedicht Mayor, 30 nov 1726, naming his wife, daughter, and brother.

Relationships with other Mayors are confusing. It is clear that his brother was Philippe Mayor. Estienne Gabriel was also brother-in-law to Jean Fran�ois Baudin (wife Jeanne Marie Mayor), but that relationship may be through Anne Mayor, his wife. Note that Marthe Cloux, known to be the wife of Gedeon Mayor, is the grandmother of Jean Fran�ois Baudin's children.
