The other LeMessiers said Blondelet
Other LeMessiers said Blondelet were mentioned during the search. They lived between 1560 to 1630. On September 18, 1571, a Guillaume LeMessier, farmer and innkeeper, remains in Vascoeuil. An act of May 1st, 1572 appointed Guillaume LeMessier said Blondelet native of LaHaye and residing at Vascoeuil. He is a cousin of the late Jehan LeMessier said Blondelet, roofer in Rouen. As cousin of Jehan de Rouen, he would be the father of our ancestor Jehan, husband of Cardine Acoulons.
On April 18, 1576, in LaHaye, it is the birth of Nicolas LeMessier, son of Guillaume LeMessier said Blondelet. This is another Guillaume LeMessier. This one remains in LaHaye and not in Vascoeuil. Who is he? He would be the brother of Jehan, husband of Cardine Acoulons. Certainly the last Guillaume is from the generation of Jehan, husband of Cardine Acoulons.
Always in the act of March 7, 1550, Nicolas LeMessier said Blondelet priest is a witness. He is the brother of Guillaume. This is the only time that Nicolas, the priest, carries this nickname. It is found in many acts with his brother Guillaume. The pedigree of Blondelet becomes clearer.
on April 17, 1620, there is a Francois LeMessier said Blondelet in LaHaye. Who is he? He is probably from the generation of the father of David. Is he the brother of Jehan, husband of Cardine Acoulons or nephew? We don’t have any answer to this question.
Finally, on 26 July 1592, a Marin LeMessier is mentioned in Vascoeuil. On October 25, 1603, they are speaking about the late Marin LeMessier said Blondelet. The absence of church records leaves a gap in the genealogy of LeMessier. This Marin, is he also from the generation of Jehan, husband of Cardine Acoulons? Anyway, these LeMessiers said Blondelet are descendants of Robinet LeMessier, our ancestor.

Where Jehan LeMessier bought a house in 1603, and the place of birth of David and Jacques LeMessier and his sisters and the children of David, which Michel and Jacques. The death of their father, Jacques and David inherited the house. Part of Jacques was sold on April 7, 1672 to Bernard Thorin and the one of David, on May 3, 1674, to Peter Rannette, his son-in-law.

Villers, located in St-Denis-le-Thiboult is the birthplace of Cardine Acoulons. This is also where Jehan LeMessier, husband of Cardine Acoulons, worked until his death during a period of 25 years, around 1565 to 1590. From the N31, I think the place is on the left side where the land and the house seem to match the description given on May 27 1586. Please note that the house has certainly undergone some great changes.

Gonneville, located near the church, named at the time by the people of St-Denis-le-Thiboult, probably because the original residents of this place were from Gonneville on Scie.

Today the name Gonneville was forgotten by the residents of St-Denis-le-Thiboult.
