Complaint against neighbor, Edward Lacy, because Lacy "injuriously called the Complainant's wife (Hannah) a witch and said that she set her corne on fire and sat upon his house at night. A witch and that hee was hagridden nights by her; and hee was Confindent she was an old witch."
Court record does not give the name of his widow. Southampton Town Records mention Thomas Trevally as having been a "successor to and in right of Jonas Bower, deceased."
Ltr dtd 13 Jan. 1992: Will of Barnabas Horton, dtd 1671, named his daughter, Hannah Trevale (or Trevally). Southampton Town Records show that Thomas Trevally drew lot 5 "as successor to and in right of Jonas Bower, deceased." Thomas was successor as he was now the husband of Jonas Bower's widow.
His marriage contract was recorded by Petrus Chuard, notary at Payerne (ACV Dp 16/1 fol. 39v): Providus vir Johannes Trevaul alias Torchyt clerico et burgensis dicti Paterniaci nomine Georgii eius filii parte ex una, et Johannem Michiez junior burgensis dicti loci Paterniaci nomine Anthonie filie sue parte ex altera, 27 apr 1516, with release by bride.
Who are the ancestral Tripods? The earliest record so far is a Pierre Tripod at St. Livres, in 1439. In 1568, documents of Claude Mayor, notary, also mention Nicolas Tripod, notary, heirs of Pierre Tripod, and Louis Tripod uncle of Bernard and Louis Tripod, brothers, who own land near Bi�re. It is likely that Bernard and Louis are sons of the late Pierre. Fran�ois Tripod has land next to Jean Huguet at that time, and may be another brother.
By 1612, documents of Pierre Barillet, notary, show Magdelaine Tripod and her husband Louis Prouz, and Abraham and Claudine Tripod, owners of land at St. Livres next to Claude Huguet and Jean Grivel. Registers at St. Livres show (1617) that Magdelaine Tripod wife of Louis Prou was the sister of Claudine Tripod. By 1622, Claudine had married Jean Guignot and baptized son Abraham, witnessed by Abraham Tripod. The next year, Abraham Tripod appears with his wife Marie de la Vy. (There are no marriage records for this period, just baptisms.)
A document of Andr� Morsier, notary at Rolle, involves settlement on 09 apr 1599 of a dispute over the estate of the late Bartholom� Tripod bourgeois of Aubonne, evidently the notary mentioned in other records. His son Egr�ge Gabriel Tripod notary and bourgeois of Aubonne was sued by Gabriel Sylvestre minister at Bursins on behalf of his children Samuel and Jeanne Sylvestre as heirs of his late wife Pernette Tripod, sister of Gabriel Tripod and daughter of the late Bartholom� Tripod. Another document of the same notary dated 11 nov 1595 concerns Jaques son of the late Bartholom� Tripod.
Among the priests of Aubonne who accepted the Edict of Reformation in 1537, we find a Claude Tripod and a Nicolas Robert.
Witnesses were Rose, daughter of Bernard Tripod, and her husband Claude Floret. So far, we have no evidence that there were more than one Gabriel Tripod at St. Livres at this time. Is this the same Claudine who appears with husband Jean Guignot and son Abraham in 1622? So far, we see no reason to doubt this. If this is true, then several other siblings can be added here.
As the church records of Aubonne and several neighboring parishes do not begin until about 1629, we have no record of the marriage of Pierre Valier and Fran�oise Tripod, and thus no indication of her parentage. No marriage contract was located among the surviving notarial records of the district of Aubonne, but perhaps something will be found in the records of Morges.

She appears as the widow of the late Pierre Valier at a baptism at Burtigny 13 aug 1671 (Valier genealogy, Olivier Dessemontet, 1970).

Witnessed a document recorded by Urbain Campod, notary at Lavigny, dated 24 apr 1575, by which time we assume he had reached the age of majority, 25. In the surviving records of the same notary, we also find isolated mentions about the same time of Pierre Tripod of St. Livres, Louis Tripod of Lavigny, and Eg. Nicolas Tripod near Yens. Pierre Tripod in this register is also apparently noted as Curial d'Aubonne in 1571.
