Post Reply | Mark Unread Report Abuse Print Message I'm also researching Bazin in Guernesy, my ancestor was Jean/John Bazin, b. 29 Mar 1763, Guernesy, emmigrated to New England ca 1772. I haven't found anything on my ancestor, but have information on your line (Bazin-Taudevan). Here's most of what I have (primary sources: Priaulx library records; corresp. with M. Martin (1990), and Crabb's _Life of Cap't John Bazin' cited below.

Described as "master of a small trading vessel", "left behind him respectable property in houses and cash". Crabb's Life of Captain John Bazin (biography of son, #7) provides a list of boats owned by Jean Bazin since late 1700s.
