Early Cattre Family Members The Cordons, 1vfalans, and Stalles all have ancestors with the surname C attre. ln this issue, we highlight what we have so far learned about two of the early branches ofthisfamily.

BRANCH 1: So far in our research, the earliest mentioned ancestor of this branch was Gioanetlo ("Johnny") CA TTRE, who was dead by 1621. His son Gullielmino was also dead by then . But this Gullielmino left at least two sons who reached maturity: Gioanni and Daniele.

Daniele apparently left fe'vver descendanL.;; than did Gioanni, so let's consider him first. He was still living in 1643, at which time he had a daughter Maria. His wife, but not necessmily the mother of Maria, was Gioanna RICH A daughter of deceas~d Pietro. If he lived that long, he may have been the Daniele son of deceased Guglielrnino who married Susana COISONE by 1669; Susana was daughter of deceased Daniele who in tum was son of deceased Gioanoi COISONE.

His brother Gioanni CATTRE was a community leader, noted as "honorable" (just as \Ve describe mayors using that tenn). He

• Number 17 • March 1999

made his will in 1641, nanling his brother Dm1iele as well as his o'vm five daughters and one deceased son, also naJlled Daniele.

Gioanni' s daughters were ( 1) Gioanna, who matried by 1625 Daniele ODDINO son of Gioanni (son of deceased Antonio); Gioanna was likely dead by 1641. (2) Susanna, still living in 1641, who married Daniele CHIANFORANO in 1605. (3) M adalena, also still living in 1641, who married Daniele ODDINO son of deceased Gioarmi, son himself of deceased Vielto. (4) Maria, dead by 1641 , wife of Giacomo COISONE son of Pietro (son of deceased Giacomo). (5) Catterina, widow in 1641 of Pietro BEZZONE son of deceased Colletta.

Gioanm's son Daniele, not to be confused with his uncle Daniele son of Guglielmino, was dead by 1641 . Gioanni' s will in that year naJlles Daniele' s widow, Catterina BUFFA daughter of deceased Gioanni; her brothers were Pietro, Colletta, and Lorenzo. Daniele and Catterina had two surviving children, Gioarmi and Gioa1ma. Both'v,rere minors in 1641 but adult by 1648. In 1655, this Gioanni renounced his inheritance because it was riddled with debt. That no doubt reflects the difficult times the Waldensians faced at this period; 1655 was the year of the infamous St Bartholomew' s Day massacre.

BRANCH II: The second early Caltre branch begins with a Gioarmi ("John"), probably a brother , half-brother, or cousin of Gioanetto of Branch A. This Gioatmi also had a son nan1ed Gulliclmino, and both father and son were dead by 1613 . This Gullielmino man-ied a Catterina, and he probably had a brother naJlled Michele.

This Gullielmino had at least two sons and two daughters. The daughters were (1) Gina, who married Pietro ODDlNO son of deceased Gioanni, who was son of deceased Vietto (and thus this Pietro was brother to Daniele ODDTNO who married Madalena CATTRE of Branch I). (2) Margarita or Maria, who married Antonio BENEDETTO son of deceased Francesco.

Gullielmino' s sons were Gioanni, also called honorable, and Daniele. This Honorable Gioanni made his will in 1613 but was still alive in 1627. His \Vif~:: was Maria, and they had at lcasl four daughters and one son, minors in 16 13. The daughters were (1) Madalena, who married Esaya BERTINO son of deceased Collette. (2) Catterina, who married Gioanni MONASTERO, who died by 1654 and was son of deceased Micaelle. (3) Gioanna and (4) Margarita.

Honorable Gioanni 's son was Gullielmino, undoubtedly the tax collector of that name in 16 55, tovm couselor in 1663, mayor in 1667, and \Vhose will \Vas dated 1675. He married an otherwise unknown Gioanna CATTRE daughter of a Gioanni, and they had six children: Maria (married Pietrio CHIA VVIA), Daniele, Gioanni, Pietro, Davide, and Steffano. I )aniclc, son of Gullielmino and Catterina and grandson of the

PFO Report, N umber 17, March 1999, page 2

first Gioanni, was probably dead by 1648. He married, perhaps as a second wife, Gioanna CHIA VVIA, in January 16 19. She was daughter of Giorgio CHIA VVIA and his wife Gioanna COISONE (daughter of deceased 1:3artholomeo COJSONE and his wife Fiorina), and may have been the mother of Daniele CATTRE's son G10a1mi CATTRE, 1atermentioned in a permutation with Steffano CHIA VVIA son of deceased Gioanni, and perhaps Gioanna 's nephew.

Temple ordinance work is in progress for these people. lt is also hoped that genealogists in the various families will connect their own Cattre lines into these families.

Our Families in San Giovanni

We continue here our notarial records highlights. Because so many of the surnames appear on the pedigrees of our separate families, we present them ill alphabetical order. This avoids having to repeat them. rve also present the extractions by separate volume to simplify the reports.

Numbers in parentheses indicate the page number in the volume and the date of the act. NOTE: The year attached to the volume number is when the notary ollicially deposited the record- not necessarily the year in \Vhich the original record was made. Sometimes it is the same year, but often the notary (because he had to pay a fee each time) delayed registering some acts.
