Notes for Elias (aka) Helier (Spouse 1)
Elie was the uncle of Dr Daniel Brevint, STP, Dean of Lincoln and Prebendary of
Durham, who married Anne de Carteret, daughter of Sir Philippe de Carteret, Kt
(1583-1644), who was Seigneur of St Ouen and Lieutenant Governor and Bailiff of
Jersey.

It is recorded that a fisherman who was indulging in witchcraft one day on Little Sark,
succeeded in raising the Devil, who asked him what were his commands. When the
fisherman had recovered from his surprise and got back his speech, he said: “You
must carry me wherever I order you”.
The Devil agreed on condition that when they reached their destination the man, in his
turn, would do whatever he commanded. So the man mounted on Satan’s back and
was carried over La Coupee.

“Allez plus loin – go on!” the fisherman ordered when the Devil paused for a rest.
Being something of a linguist, Satan understood, and they went on until they came to
the Port du Moulin, where the man’s cottage stood, probably at L’Ecluse, which at
that time was owned by William de Carteret, the son of Samuel of Little Sark.

As soon as they arrived there, the man cried out in a loud voice: “Au nom de Grand
Dieu, arretez!” The Devil put the man down, and fled away shrieking, as the
fisherman knew he must at the mention of God’s name.

Jurat in 1609.
