There is one entry for a Jean JAQUES who was a witness at the baptism of
Jean DERRIN and the date 17 Dec 1665.

Not sure what you are trying to find from the Huguenot Society list of
names, I presume you are talking about the American Society. To be quite
honest I can see no sense in such a list as it is not the name that is
Huguenot but rather the individual. This can be best explained by my
research which is a one-name study of LERPINIERE. Of the names located in
the 17th century I doubt whether more that 5 to 10% are Protestant, the
remainder are catholic.
