Andre Labat




In October 2002, having little hope of developing the line of research from England to Ireland, I went back to the Will of Stephen Gaubert, shopkeeper of Wexford. This Will was made on the 28th March 1738 and proven on the 29th June 1764. It refers to his wife Joanna Gaubert, brother Peter Gaubert, nephew Stephen Andre Gaubert son of Peter Gaubert, sister Suzanna Gaubert married to a Labat, and a niece Jane Gaubert, daughter of Peter Gaubert.

I then searched on the Mormon 'familysearch' database for a 'Labat' marrying a 'Suzanna' or 'Suzanne'. BULLSEYE. I contacted the contributor to the Mormon records Roland De Caen in Calgary, Canada. He kindly gave me a copy of his Labat records.

Etienne DE LABAT, son of Jerimie (1585-1645 who married 'Baudris 1600-?), was born abt 1625 in France and married about 1650, firstly to Jeanne de Labarriere, born abt 1630, and inherited through her the Segnurie of Baley d' Agenais, located just to the north of Tonneins.  He was a lawyer in the Huguenot Parliament in Bordeux. He was Seigneur of Labaronnerie after 1655. He married secondly about 1659 to Elisabeth Privat, and died in 1686 in France.

Andre de Labat was born about 1670 in Graxol, Norion, France. He was the younger son of Etienne De Labat & Jeanne de La Barriere and became Marquis of Clairac (south of Tonneins). After the Revocation of Edict of Nantes, Andre, Marquis of Clairac, was driven from his Chateau de Chirac, which was burned by the soldiers of Marillac.

Andre came to Ireland with the army of William of Orange. He went to Holland in about 1685, where he joined the French army of William (III) of Orange, and fought with them for 13 years in Holland, Ireland and Flanders. He was a Lieutenant in July 1689 in the Loche Brigade of Viviens Batallion in the Meloniers Infantry Regt. He was on the "Mountjoy" when it broke the siege of Derry, and received the Derry Medal and Freedom of Derry and Dublin then came to Ireland in 1693 with William's army. By March 1699 he was a Captain on pension from Meloniere's Regiment, and pensioned in March 1699 when he settled at Portarlington. At one time he rented a house, Kilmalogue House, in Kilmalogue from Joshua Pilot, a retired paymaster and surgeon from Battereau's Regt. In 1702 he had a double commission as a Lieutenant and Captain in the same regiment. Later he was a Captain of "Fonjuliane" infantry. He was granted Ballynakill (168 Acres) about 1699, (Deed of 14 Dec 1713) and, together with Henry Pidgeon, agreed to buy Raheen (98 acres) in same parish. This land is located about 2 miles southeast of Geashill and appears to be where he intended to build his residence. As he died in 1728 and appears to have been buried in Kilkenny, he may not have achieved this building.

He married Christina Peppard on 17th Feb 1707 at Killaderry, Phillipstown, the present Daingean, King's Co, Ireland. By Christina he had a daughter Marie, and a son Andrew (Andre). He then married Suzanne Gaubert about 1730 although the record doesn't identify the place of marriage. She is shown as being born about 1709 also in Graxol, Norion, France. Whilst a 60 year old man marrying a 21 year old girl may already have health implications, the record says he died in 1728 (two years before his marriage - how's that for wedding nerves !) or in 1736.

He was buried at St Mary's, Kilkenny, Co Kilkenny, Ireland which is now derelict (Perogative Will proven 1763). to which church he had generously donated during his lifetime, and also in his will dated 7 February 1728 he left 3 Pounds to the poor of Portarlington Church, and to his parish church of Graxol. To his son Andre (Andrew 2nd.) he left all his worldly goods and property of all kinds, wherever located. To his wife, Suzanne Gaubert he bequeathed 15 pounds sterling, paid annually for life, rent from the Province of Utrecht, Holland. He confirmed the gift to Marc Chateauneuf, the husband of his daughter Marie, of the lease rents of Bogtown (probably in Upper Philipstown,  Ballykean Parish), that they already owned (halfway between Portarlington and Tullamore). He left 30 pounds sterling to his nephew Joseph Labat son of Jean Louis. In a codicil dated 29 February, he requests that his son Andre should give to his brother Jean de Labat of Labaronniere, Seigneur of Baley, if he should come to this country, the sum of 6 pounds per quarter, for his lifetime. Also mourning clothes for his daughter Marie and his niece Marie-Jean de Labat of Baley, and to his cousin Captain Labat of Baley. Deed no. 64553 dated 7th Sep 1738 cites Mary de Labat of Kilmolloge, Mrs Mary Chateauneuf, widow and Ann Chateauneuf her daughter, aged about 8 years, to lease the new stone dwelling house and grounds in Killmolloge in the suburbs of Portarlington, bordering the Malt House.



Suzanne Labat nee Gaubert died about 1763. As shown at Gaubert Connections


1728 Labat Andrew  
1763 Labat Susanna Dublin



There is no detail concerning Suzanne's parents nor where she married. In the Index to Prerogative Wills of Ireland, her death in 1763 is recorded as 'Susanna' in Dublin. There is no mention of the family in the records of the French Church at Portarlington after 1750.

This information does corroborate Stephen Gaubert's Will but, frustratingly, doesn't identify the parents of Stephen and Suzanne.

At http://www.british-history.ac.uk and in 'Index: P', Calendar of Treasury books, Volume 32: 1718 (1962), pp. 807-827. there is a record of both 'M. Gaubert' and 'A. Labat' as 'pensioners, annuitants, etc'


The Irish Labats were the ancestors of the famous Labatt brewing family of Canada. A descendant, John Kinder LABATT, was born in 1803 in Ireland. He went to Canada in about 1833, where he farmed 200 acres in Delaware Township near Glanworth. He purchased a brewery in 1847 in partnership with a Mr. Eccles, an experienced brewer. John died in 1866 in London, Ontario, Canada. By 1833, he had married Elsa KELL (born 9th Jan 1816 in England & died 20 Feb 1897 London, Ontario).
