His baptismal record lists his parents as Estienne Gabriel Mayor and Elizabeth Convers. The father's name should be Jean Gabriel Mayor. The real Estienne Gabriel Mayor, with his wife Anne Mayor, baptised a son Henry in December of the same year.

Parentage of Gabrielle is not definitely established. Could she be connected with the Mayor families in Aubonne? This is suggested by the presence of Jaques Mayor and Gasparde Del'Harpe at a baptism in 1645. Or, since the 1740 terrier of Yens (ACV FH 246) reveals (fol.371) that as of 02 dec 1676, a vineyard at Yens was owned half by Philippe and Etienne Gabriel Mayor, and the other half by Félix Monod "charge ayant" of his brother Jean Louis Monod, is she somehow connected with the family of Philippe and Etienne Gabriel Mayor?
A partage of her husband's estate (Jean Pierre Monod, notary, 21 oct 1701, FHL microfilm #0921525) indicates she had brothers Philippe and Estienne Gabriel Mayor.

He was a notary. His registers for the district of Morges covers 1677-1691 (ACV DB 27). During a part of his career, he also served on the council of Mollens, and his records reflect the business that came before the council. The marriage record at Aubonne omits the given name of the groom, but does specify that he is from Ballens. He was dead by 20 jan 1705, when his widow Jeanne Imberte Favre, acting for her children Jean Isaac Mayor, Andrianne Mayor, and Jeanne Susanne Mayor (this list does not necessarily include all of her children), advised by Gaspard's brother Pierre Mayor, operateur, sold property to Christophle Convers and others (Jean Pierre Monod, notary at Ballens, ACV DK 82/1). Another transaction on the same date also names their nephews Jean Isaac and Jean Louis Pirod. The last register of Gaspard Mayor is signed on the last page by his son Jean Isaac Mayor.

Witness at baptism in 1626, Bière. Beyond that, there is considerable confusion. There seem to have been 4 different men bearing this name toward the middle of the 17th Century.
One Gedeon Mayor -- not this one! -- was a minister. He served in Lavigny from around 1670 until 1677, when he became minister at Aubonne, until his death in 1704. A document of Gaspard Mayor, notary, 22 dec 1677, notes a neighboring parcel of land belonging to the "hoirs de feuz hon. Gedeon Mayor", thus referring to another Gedeon, not the minister. The same day, Phillippe Mayor sells a parcel for his mother Marthe Cloux, who was married to the second Gedeon, the one born in 1615. Also, 27 nov 1680, Jean Golaz makes his testament and includes a bequest of 50 florins to his "filiale" (goddaughter) Jeanne Marie Mayor, daughter of the late Gedeon Mayor, vivant de Mollens.
The present Gedeon was the eldest of the four. The children assigned to him are probably correct, since the second Gedeon was not married until 1641, and the other two were born after 1640.

This should be the Gédéon who married Marthe Cloux, based on age. The one who married Martha Cloux seems to have died by 1677, but this conclusion rests on the fact that mention of his death is found in notarial documents on the same day that a separate transaction shows Philippe Mayor selling property for his mother Marthe Cloux. He is not the minister, who was much younger.
Other records show that his daughter Jeanne Marie married Jean François Baudin and that two of his sons were Estienne Gabriel Mayor, Lt. of Mollens and Philippe Mayor.

At first, it seemed this must be the Gédéon who was minister at Aubonne (deacon 1670-1677, pastor 1677-1704). However, a notarial record at Geneva proves otherwise. It is not known what became of Gédéon son of David. The published Livre du Recteur de l'Académie de Genève gives this parentage for the minister, though on what basis is not known.

The correct parentage of Gedeon Mayor the minister was elusive. The published edition of the Livre du Recteur of the Académie of Geneva gives his parents as David Mayor and Susanne de Saussure, which is not correct. He could not be identified with any of the baptisms at Ballens, Biere, Mollens, Aubonne, etc. The solution was found in the records of Bernard Grosjean, notary at Geneva, vol. 15 p. 356 (1663), an Obligation for 24 escus blancs for furniture, Spectable Gedeon Mayor son of the late Jean François Mayor of Ballens, proposant en theologie, with his brother Isaac, to Theodore Ritter, tailor.
He is mentioned again with another brother in a document recorded 25 nov 1668 by Henri Portaz, notary at Lausanne, in which Spectable Gedeon Mayor and Jean Baptiste Mayor his brother, acting also for their mother (not named) and their "indivis" (i.e., other relatives with whom they share an undivided interest in some property or estate) acknowledge their debt to Madame de Dignens for grain etc. This document proves that the Gedeon who was a theology student (denoted by the title Spectable) also had a brother Jean Baptiste, and that his own father had died by 1668. Among the Mayor baptisms so far analyzed, there are only two named Jean Baptiste, and only one has a brother Gedeon.

Apparently called Pernette, daughter of hon. Claude Mayor, in document of Claude Mayor notary 1573. Evidently not Pernette dau. of LATE Claude Mayor, as that Pernette m. (1) Gabriel Vieux, (2) Jean Cordey. Other records of the same notary call her Genette and make clear that she was the brother of Jaques Mayor dit Mathey (for example, ACV DB 26/6 fols. 77v and 78).
