Biography

This profile is part of the Champion_de_Crespigny Name Study.

Jane (Champion) de Lamberty was a Huguenot emigrant (1540-1790).

Jeanne [Jane], born in 1668 in France, was the youngest child of Claude and Marie Champion de Crespigny.

She was a Huguenot refugee who fled to England with the rest of her family.

She registered her témoignage on 30 June 1687 at the Savoy Church in the West End of London with her parents and three of her siblings. She was listed as being nineteen years old.^[1] ‘Témoignages‘, were documents from a previous congregation witnessing that the holder was a member of the Reformed Religion, Calvinist Protestantism.

Jane Champion, together with her seven siblings, became a denizen of England by an Act of 5 March 1691.^[2] A denizen was neither a subject (with nationality) nor an alien, but had a status akin to permanent residency today. A denizen had the important right to hold land.

Jeanne married Geronimus de Lamberty, a Baron of the Holy Roman Empire who became Ambassador to the King of Sweden at Geneva. They had at least three children:

1. Esther - died before her father wrote his will, that is before 1729
2. Abraham - died after his father but before his mother, that is between 1733 to 1746
3. Judith. mentioned in the will of her mother as the wife of Charles D'Aulbonne and mother of Victoria Aimee D'Aulbonne

Jeanne and Geronimus both died at Nyon in Switzerland. Geronimus died 9 January 1733

The Honorable Jane Champion De Crespigny, the widow and dowager of Baron de Lamberty, died about 1748. Her will, written 13 November 1746, passed probate in London, England, on 18 March 1749.^[3]
