His title of Lieutenant Abbatiale implies he would have reported to the Schaffner or Gouverneur for the properties formerly belonging to the Abbey of Payerne, appointed by Their Excellencies of Bern. He was also a councillor of Payerne, a completely different reporting hierarchy.
Several references at Moudon: attended baptisms 29 jun 1645 (with Claude Gau, for Claude, son of Pierre Brodily and Agathe Roberti), 23 may 1647 (for Jeanne Fran�oise, daughter of Jean B� and Jeanne his wife), 03 aug 1651 (for Jaques, son of Jean Gindrot ? and Fran�oise Mondroz). She owned property in her own name as early as 1643, only a few years after her marriage, as a result of inheritance from her father's estate, subsequently exchanged.
The marriage record at Payerne indicates she is the daughter of Jean Rouge. There are other daughters of Jean Rouge in the same registers, and all the Rouges of Payerne seem to trace back to Fran�ois, father of Jean. There is no indication in the registers at Payerne that reveal anything about the fortunes of this family.
Her exchange of land inherited from her father, for a large estate at Prevondens, explains the presence of Buttin in that village in later times. The document of Samuel DeTrey concerning this exchange gives the names of both of her parents and of her husband.
Baptismal record identifies her father as simply "Mr. le Capitaine Rouge" and does not name the mother. Among the baptismal records in the previous year is one in which one of the sponsors is "le Capitaine et Conseiller Samuel Rouge," apparently referring to the same man.
Identified in record of her marriage to Guillaume de Treytorrens as widow of Daniel Verraux and daughter of Jean Rouge. She is not mentioned in a settlement between the heirs of Jean Rouge and the heirs of Guillame DeTreytorrens in 1642.
There are several mentions of Marguerite Rouge widow of the late Samuel Moratel. Samuel or his children appear in various documents of the Rouge family, but we have not found proof of exactly where Marguerite fits in. Also, in 1637 we find a reference to Susanne widow of the late Samuel Moratel, so there must have been more than one Samuel!

Another record at Granges dated 08 jan 1593 is presumably a record of the bann. The bride's surname is spelled Rouge at Grange, and Roioz (same as Rojoz) at Payerne.
Since this is the only daughter of the late Jean Rouge not mentioned by name in a document of Samuel DeTrey, notary ?? apr 1642, Marie must be the one who was at that time married to Jaques Ropraz. This is explained by references to Jaques Ropraz Joli of Granges, a case of a "nom compos�". Her baptismal date seems to close to that of her presumed sister, so it is possible that the year has been recorded incorrectly, or else that she belongs to another couple.
