His relationships are still not completely worked out. Significant documents were recorded in the 1550's by Blaise Chalon, notary at Payerne. In the records of Pierre Chuard, notary at Payerne, the first document we have found in which Benoit appears as the son of the late Louis is dated 01 oct 1517.
Evidence that he was married to Isabel Chevrod and then to Isabel Joccet is clear. The known children appear to inherit from the Chevrod family. However, apparently the same "Benedictus de Molendino" appears with his (first?) wife Ludovica filia quondam Williermi Mareschet in two documents dated 04 may 1528 (ACV Aa 12/3, no. 1195, and Aa 12/4, no. 1253).

Still alive as late as 1552, when Sr. de "Macconens" and Conseiller de Payerne.
Apparently, one of the wives of Benoit Nible was previously the wife of Jacob Regnauld. After considering the dates of all the people involved, we have come to the conclusion that she must have been the second wife of Benoit Nible, the name of the first wife still unknown. It is also unknown which children are from which marriage, but likely the first two, Anne and Louise, must be from the first wife, based on the apparent death date of Benoitte du Moulin's first husband Jacob Regnauld.
On the other hand, some of the information that has come down to us about Jacob Regnauld may be speculative. If, for example, we discover that Anne or Louise Nible inherited from either du Moulin or Chevrod, we would have to conclude that Benoitte du Moulin was indeed their mother, and that, therefore, the statement that Jacob Regnauld had owned a half interest in the fief of Bellevaux must be false, and thereby setting Jacob's date of death considerably earlier, before about 1550.
She is mentioned in a transaction among the heirs of N. Benoît du Moulin, dated 25 oct 1561 (Abraham Chuard, notary at Payerne), with two apparent sisters and the heirs of her apparent late brother Louis.
The same connections are implied in a transaction recorded 29 sep 1582 by Jean Marcuard, notary at Payerne (ACV DP 62/2), in which Claude Tholley, mestral de Middes, rents property held by (1) Egrège Benoit Nible comme usufruictayre des biens de feu Noble Benoicte du Moullin sa femme for 1/3; (2) the same also in the name of Noble Marguerite sa belle soeur (thus, Marguerite du Moulin) for 1/3; and (3) the same also in the name of Noble Magdelayne fille de feu Noble François Gachet for the remaining 1/3.
Further details are given in other registers of Benoit Nible: 27 nov 1550, in which Collette is the "fille impubere" of Benoit du Moulin by his second wife Ysabel Chevrod (ACV Dp 73/1, fol. 56, relating to similar material beginning at fol. 45), and 04 may 1558, by which time Collette had become the wife of François Gachet (Dp 73/2, fol. 64).
She had died by 28 jun 1564, at which time the same notary recorded proceedings that included François Gachet as administrator for her unnamed children (Dp 73/2, fol. 196v).
Part of her story is revealed in a document recorded on 23 jun 1580 by Jean Bergier, notary of Lausanne (ACV, Dg 14/8, f. 35 ss): Noble Loys Seigneux reconnaît avoir reçu 3'000 florins donnés par la dite Marguerite du Moulin à sa fille noble Anthoine Meyer, femme du dit Loys Seigneux. Il assigne cette somme sur la généralité de ses biens.
She is cited as the wife of David Gachet several times between 1669 and 1673. The same Marie du Moulin is identified as the wife of Monsieur Fivat in 1659, at a time when the first wife of David Gachet was still living. Marie is also the Madame l'Advoyer Gachet who was a sponsor at Corcelles 29 aug 1675 for the baptism of Marianne, daughter of Jonas Henryjan and Magdelaine Rappin.
The notary David Tavel (ACV DP 101) recorded a marriage contract (DP 101/1 fol. 25v) on 01 jan 1683 between Noble Jaques François Fivat bourgeois de Payerne, with authorization from his mother Marie du Moullin in the form of a letter in the hands of Abraham du Mont, minister at Morat, to Jaqueline daughter of the late Noble Samuel Mestral, with authorization from her mother Marie de Hennezel, with her sons-in-law Pierre d'Estienne, minister at Costert, and Noble David de Treytorrens, councillor at Payerne. The same Jaques François Fivat had died by 10 dec 1685, when his sister Urbaine Fivat and her husband Noble Gamaliel Clavel councillor at Cully sold various properties.
In the registers of the notary David Dufour of Grandcour (ACV DP 112), Marie du Moulin appears several times, and under several spellings, the last in 1715. The reigster includes an inserted letter dated 12 jan 1715 at Grandson, to Monsieur Dufour, Lieutenant de GrandCour, regarding a proposed letter of rente. Marie signes herself "Vostre tres humble & obeisante servante & cousine, Marie De Mollin." In Dufour's registers, she is identified both as the widow of the late Noble David Gachet, Advoyer of Payerne, and as the wife of Noble Jean François Bourgeois, conseiller and bourgeois of Grandson.
[15487]History of Ancient Wethersfield, CT, p 148, shows the name to be Humphrey de Bulkeley and his wife's name as Grisel Molton. The title Baron was used from the earliest times up to the 12th generation of Edward Bulkeley, minister and Rector of Odell in Lincolnshire. He and his son, Peter, were both ministers, thus using the title Reverend.
Existence of this child is noted in the proceedings of the Consistory of Lausanne 03 apr 1705, but no record of a baptism has been found at Lausanne, and no further mention in any document located so far.
She appears as the wife of André Salté beginning in 1708, and Jean Mourgue and Claude Richard are present at the baptism of her second child. She appears to be the same Eve Elizabeth Mourgue who appears with husband Jean Lodera/Laudera/ etc. 1729-38; Anne Mourgue appears as witness for one of these baptisms. The mother's name varies too: Elizabeth, Eve Elizabeth, and Isabeau. Appearance of 2 daughters at Aubonne in the 1730's suggests they moved there about 1732-33.
Proof that she was the daughter of Jean Mourgue has finally surfaced in a document recorded by Daniel Delormes, notary at Lausanne, 24 jun 1726, which notes that Jean Mourgues has died, and his inheritance is divided between Jean Louis Mourgues, locksmith, Bernard Mourgues, joiner, with his wife Marie Margueron, and their sister Elizabeth Mourgues, wife of André Saltet, joiner. The document mentions judicial decisions of 16 jun 1723 (rendered by Eg. Philippe Mennet) and recorded by Isaac André Vulliamoz 26 (?) jun 1723.
