Sources: (1) His birth year comes from an abstract of this Francis Bridon's arrest record and sentence to becoming a galley slave. This is the first and only record I have seen of his birthdate. It comes from the Musée du Désert site in France. There must be a little more in the original record based on some other other abstracts I have seen of other galley slaves: BRIDON, François. Né vers 1652, matelot. De Rochefort (Soubise) (17780). Condamné à Calais pour exil, le 3 décembre 1686. Libéré à St Malo le 13 juin 1698. N° écrou : 9244. Translation: Francis Bridon. Born about 1652, sailor. From Rochefort (Soubise, France). Condemed at Calais for fleeing France, on December 3, 1686. Freed at Saint-Malo on June 13, 1698. His marriage record says he is from Moëze, France. See Notes. (2) On 1 Aug 1723, letters of administration were granted to his wife Susannah. Soon after, his will was discovered and submitted for probate. The will was written 16 Dec 1702, and therein he refers to himself as Francis Bridon, of Boston, in New England, mariner and leaves his estate to his wife Susannah Bridon, whom he appoints as executor. The will was proved 22 Oct 1723 in Boston [New York Will Book 9, p. 398, 412.]. I see something online, but I don't have access to it, that may say a Rev. Francis Bridon died on January 30, 1718. This is in some article in The Boston Transcript in Massachusetts Newspapers, 1704-1974. This needs more investigation.

I can add from looking at the original, that those who signed appear to be J. Hain, F. Bridon (their fathers I assume) and probable sponsors Jean Billebaud and Jean Hain. The abstract says August 6, but the original is not clear. I cannot tell which date goes with what, but I will go with the abstract. (4) Her marriage record says she is from Moëze, France.

Based on the marriage records of Francis Bridon & Suzanne Hain and Jean Bodin & Esther Bridon, I am making an educated guess that this Suzanne is the Suzanne Hain mentioned in the Baptism Records of the Protestant Church of Soubise and abstracted by the Genealogical Circle of Saintonge and located on Geneabank. (7) The will of Susanah Bridon, of Staten Island, widow, written 10 Nov 1724, was proved 5 Dec 1724.
