The History of the Several Towns, Manors, and Patents of the County of Westchester (1881 revised edition, Vol. I)
On the 17th of October, 1726, John Parcot of New Rochelle, sold to Judith Marie Moulinars, gentle woman of the same place, his farm of forty-seven acres in New Rochelle. Moulinars had a daughter, Susanne Helene, born Feb. 8, 1719; and a son Jean, born Feb. 13, 1722 ; both of whom were baptized by Monsieur Rou, in New York. This son, Jean, I conjecture, was the John Moulinars who '' entered the service as first lieutenant, June 15, 1746.""
It deserves to be mentioned here that the French Reformed church at New Rochelle had been for some time annexed to the French Reformed church of New York ; maintaining, however, their own Consistory, a state of things that continued until the Revolutionary war.
From the following document it appears that Monsieur Jean Carle had succeeded Moulinars in the pastorate at New Rochelle :
