CABIBEL (Cabibell, Cabille), Jean. Born about 1637 [HL, Bounty MS 7]. After being admitted to the ministry by the synod of Haut Languedoc on 24 Nov. 1661, Cabibel served successively at the churches of Caraman, Roquecourbe, and then Brassac, where he was from 1671 until the Revocation [Haag (1877), III, 421–2]. He had to abandon goods worth 2300 livres in France [Félice (1898), 224]. Relief papers in HL show him as unmarried and granted assistance in London 1687–92. He signed the ministers’ Declaration against Socinianism in 1691 [La Mothe (1693), 59].

CABROL, Jean. Ordained deacon and priest by Bishop Compton, June– July 1683 [LMA, MS 9535/3, p.36]. There are no other known English references. Haag notes a man of this name from Montagnac, Bas-Languedoc, who was a student of theology in 1681, but he is said to have abjured before 1685 [Haag (1877), III, 429; Mours (1968), 297n].

CAIRON (Cayron, Queron), Jacques. Jacques Cairon was minister at Falaise in 1684 when he was imprisoned for comparing Protestantism favourably with Roman Catholicism in a sermon. Closely confined, chained up and threatened, he abjured to obtain his release, then repented his decision and fled [Haag (1877), III, 450–1]. His ministry in England was entirely confined to Thorney, Cambridgeshire. He first appears in the registers there in 1689 [HSQS XVII, 64], and in June–July 1690 the approval of the French Church of London was sought and received for the Thorney church’s choice of him as its second minister [FCL, MSS 7, p.491, and 45, 2 July 1690]. He was still active at Thorney quarter of a century later in March 1715, two months before his death [HSQS XVII, 97].

CAIRON, Jean. Born around 1650; described in 1691 as aged 36, but in 1695 as aged 45, and in 1706 as aged 60 [HL, Bounty MS 6, 12 Aug. 1691; HSP, I, 165; LP, MS 941, no.64]. Jean Cairon was born at Figeac, studied theology at Montauban, and was admitted to the ministry in Sept. 1678. He served as pastor of the seigneurie of Montbartier near Montauban, 1678–81, and then at Cajarc [Haag (1877), III, 450]. He left France for Switzerland after the Revocation and arrived in London in 1691, having been aided on his way that year at Schaffhouse and Frankfurt [huguenot.fr; HL, Bounty MS 6, 12 Aug. 1691]. Relief papers show him granted assistance from 1691, with a wife by 1695. He seems likely to be the ‘Jean Caizon’, French minister, whose son Isaac was baptized at Chelsea in February 1700 [Faulkner (1829), II, 122]. In 1706 he and his wife had five children, the eldest aged 11, but he had no church appointment [LP, MS 941, no.64]. He was reordained Anglican deacon and priest by Bishop Compton on 8 Oct. 1707, and in 1708 became minister of the French church of Wapping [LMA, MS 9535/3, p.130; HSP, XV, 541]. He was still alive in 1717 but had fallen on hard times, a payment being made ‘pour la dernière fois pour payer le reste des dettes’ [HSP, I, 324].
