“ We are now within sight of our hero, afterwards known in England as Sir John Colladon. The connection of the Colladons with Aubon, the barony from which Sir Theodore De Mayerne took his title, as well as the document just alluded to, seem to show some existing relationship between the Colladons and the Mayernes before Sir John’s marriage to the Baron’s niece. ”

“ There was at a later date a Theobald Colladon, pasteur of Aubon. There is a legal document docqueted, “Procuration dounée par Esther Colladon à Theobald Colladon ministre à Aubonne pour revendiquer les biens et effets existans dans la maison de nob. T. de Mayerne, dite Maison de S. Aspre” (quoted in the Second Edition of “Haag,” from which I have taken all my pre-refugee facts in this memoir) . ”

“ His birthplace was the fortress of La Chatre; he died at Geneva on 31st August 1552, leaving two sons and five daughters. His elder son, Nicolas, had been a pasteur in France, and became a pasteur and professor in Switzerland; he died at Lausanne in May 1586, leaving (it is believed) no descendants. The younger son, Germain, also a minister of the gospel, married Christofla Trembley, and left a son, Daniel. This was the pasteur of Morgues, Daniel Colladon, who married there, in 1584, Susanne Bret, and was the father of Isaac Colladon (born 1590) , pasteur of Aubon. ”
