Rev. Nicholas Effard (1563-1638) served the church in Guernsey prior to arriving to serve at St. Saviour in Jersey. Nicholas' father was Jean Effard (a Jurat for the Court in Guernsey) and he mother was Elizabeth Perrin. Elizabeth's brother Pierre (Peter) went to Virginia, possibly with George Poindexter.

Rev. Nicholas Effard became Rector of St. Saviour on 25 March 1586, after serving as a minister on Guernsey. He has an interesting history that includes successful collection of past tithes owed to the church in Guernsey for colts, calves and lambs. In 1613, he was one of the ministers to appear to the Privy Council to defend the existing Prebyterian form of church government. He and his fellow ministers lost the arguement and the Anglican form of government was reestablished.
