Francois de Moucheron primary source record

You will find very few existing primary source documents which mention our ancestor Francois de Moucheron and his wife Sarah Martijns. We know that he grew up in Middleburg, Holland and at some point in the late 1580s removed to La Rochelle (Charente-Maritime) France where they had at least 7 children. We find only the baptism of one child, named Sara for her mother. Below is an extract published in
