The Du Moulins appear to have been among the noblesse of the Isle de France, our English dignitaries belonging to the younger or Lorme-Grenier branch, the learned jurist Charles Du Moulin to the elder or Mignaux branch. Of this family, it is said, was Charles Dutnoulin, in whose chateau of Brus-sous- Eorges, the tower of which is still standing, the early years of Anne Boleyn were passed. 1 The Royal licence was given in 1586 to French Protestants and their ministers to live in Scotland, and Joachim Du Moulin was among the first to come over. The Haddington Presbytery had before them, 18 Oct. 1589, "the warrant from the Synodal for the ingadering of the support to Mr. — Muling banest out of Prance." See Agnew's Protestant Exiles, iii., 118. 2 Pierre Du Moulin was born at the Chateau de Butry in le Yexin, where his father had found a shelter with Duplessis-Mornay. He studied successively at Sedan, Paris, for four years at Cambridge, and at Leyden, where he was elected Professor of Philosophy in 1595*, or according to Haag at the age of 24 (1592). He came to London, as did Isaac Casaubon, on the invitation and as the guest of James I. (who criticized his Vocation des Pasteurs) in 1615, and at this time received his Prebendal Stall in Canterbury, and possibly further English preferment. In 1626 he appears, from Atlien. Oxon. (ii., 863), to have succeeded Dr. Godfrey Goodman (who, in 1620, on his preferment to the Deanery of Rochester, had been followed in his Essex living of Stapleford-Abbots by another Protestant Refugee, Cesar Calandrini) in the sinecure living of Llanarmon in Yale; and in Fasti Oxon., i., 329, it is noted that " Old Peter du Moulin of Sedan had the sinecure Rectory of Llanhrayader in Derbyshire, which he enjoyed in 1646." He was 38 years Professor of Theology at Sedan, where he had fled on the discovery of a letter of his to King James on behalf of the Protestants, and where he died. La France Protestante (MM. Haag) gives a list of no less than 80 publications of his, and it may be added that he pronounced the funeral oration on Henri IV. 3 Peter Du Moulin studied successively at Sedan, Leyden, and in England. "While tutor for some two years at Oxford to Lord Dungarvan and the Hon. Richard Boyle, he constantly preached in the church of St. Peter's in the East. In 1567 he received the Vicarage of Bradwell, Bucks, but resigned it in a few days. The Fasti gives a full list of his works, much admired in their day, in number 17. The most noted were Defense de la religion reformee et de la Monarchic et eglise AngUcane, 1650; and Regii Sanguinis clamor ad coelum adversus parricidos AngUcanos in 1652, to which Milton replied in 1654. He appears to have latterly resided at Canterbury till his death in 1684. His will, dated 7 October 1684, was proved in the Consistory Court on the 13th of the same month {Lib. 55,146) by his niece, the residuary legatee and sole executrix, Theodosia Du Moulin.

Haag) it is asserted that he " avait epouse Anne Clavier, d'une noblesse originaire de Prance. II en eut Louis qui prit pour fenime Rebecca Taylor," etc It will be seen, however, by the above- quoted will that, while he apparently left no posterity, he oertainly had a nephew Louis. Whether this nephew was, aa is more probable, the son of Dr. Louis, of whom_ no will is extant, or of Cyrus, is a faot yet to be ascertained; and the Compiler would be grateful for any information. There also remain unplaced Ann Du Moulin, who on 25 Oct. 1722 was married in Canterbury Cathedral to Simon Gilbert, of Aldington; and Ann Du Moulin, spinster, of St. George's, NOTES TO THE PEDIGREES. 37 Botolph Lane, London, who in her will, dated 3 Nov. 1718, and proved in the P.C.C. 19- Sept. 1734 (203, Ockham), refers to some house property, which she leaves to a stranger in blood, Thomas Downes, as having been given her by her mole, the late Dr. Peter Du Moulin. 4 Louis Du Moulin was a Nonconformist and hot Controversialist. Haag gives a list of 24 publications of his, of whioh Patronus bona fidei in Causa Puritanorum, Lond. 1672, 8vo, was in answer to Dr. Durel's Sanctce Eeclesice Anglicanas adversus iniquas atque inwrecundas Schismaticorwm criminationes Vindicim, and of which his last was The last words of Lewis du Moulin : being his retractation of all the personal reflections he had made on the Divines of the Church of England, London, 1680. 5 Of him Voltaire said that he was better adapted for a Minister of State than a minister of a parish. His brother Henri Basnage de Beauval, also a refugee in Holland and not unknown as an author, married Marie Amsincq, aunt to the wife of Dr. Balthazar Regis, Rector of Adisham, 1717-57.
