“ On the 26th July 1750, Captain Montolieu, only son of Lieutenant-General Baron St. Hippolite, married Elizabeth, daughter of Peter Leheup, Esq. of St. James’ Place, London; the marriage was performed in the French Church in the Savoy. He rose to be Colonel in the Horse Guards. He established a bank in London, afterwards known as Hammersley’s Bank. He died on 13th February 1776, and was buried in the Huguenot Cemetery at Wandsworth, where his sister, Susanne Marie, who died at the age of twenty-five, had been laid in 1743, as well as the Baron, his father, in 1761. ”

“ Guillaume de Montolieu, Seigneur de Saint-Hippolite, was killed at the Battle of Dreux in 1562. Of his four sons, three were killed in action — Jacques at St. Denis in 1567, and Francois and Hippolite at Moncontour in 1569. Antoine was severely wounded at the siege of Rouen in 1592, but lived till 1615. The latter married Susanne Dupuy, and was the father of Jean, killed at the siege of Montpellier in 1622, and of Claude, who married Catherine de Saurin, whose son Pierre, the father of the refugees, was married to Jeanne de Froment, daughter of Nicolas de Froment and Marie Du Roure. ”
