Notes for: Vincent Bodin
Just speculating here, but my theory on the name of Vincent's father is that it was probably Jean François Bodin and he just went by François in at least the marriage record for Vincent. In the same way, Vincent's wife Madelaine Graveau, in her marriage record has her father listed as Palais or Pallais Grandon (Graveau). The Pallais is a Saint's name and his full name seems to have been Jacques Pallais Graveau. This is just a theory at this point.
Vincent named his two male children Jean and Jacques. There was no François that we know of. I imagine the Jean is for his father and the Jacques is either for his father-in-law or a paternal uncle.
The two female children we know of were Jeanne and Marie. So the Jeanne was probably for his mother-in-law, Jeanne Barbarin, and the Marie was probably for his own mother or a maternal aunt.
So all this would line up really well with the family of Jean Bodin of Medis and Esther Bridon. They named their male children Jean, Vincent, François, Eleazor and Jacob (Jacob is an English version of Jacques). I'm not sure where Eleazor came from, but it might just have a religious source related to their Huguenot experience rather than a familial one. The female names were Esther, Jane (English for Jeanne) and Marianne (Marie Ann). I'm not sure where Esther came from, but the others both have close family ties.
In his marriage record below, he is listed as from Soubise which is close to Moëze, France. I found this online of the Moëze Records 1632-1664, image 71 of 84, at the bottom right. Madelaine's father is not mentioned because he was deceased. Vincent was a labourer a boeuff. This was a peasant.
