Jeune.

In addition to my account of the late Bishop Jeune’s ancestry, I give the following genealogy, abridged from the supplement to “Burke’s Landed Gentry.” A descendant of the Huguenot refugee in Jersey, named Francois, was born in 1719, and died in 1778, he having married, in 1743, Rachel, daughter of Jean de Carteret, jurat of the island. Their eldest son, Francois Jeune, of Les Vaux, married, in 1772, Maria Louise, daughter of Jean Carcos by Agnes Hue (daughter of Rev. Rodolph Hue, D.D., rector of St. Bulade); Mr. Jeune died at St. George, in the island of Grenada, in 1800. We now come to his descendants:—
