Born Ann or Anne Manson in France. Her exact date of birth is as yet unknown. She was the wife of Pierre Boudet who served as a French Protestant Minister. Pierre changed his surname from Boudet to Gautier in order to protect his identity during perilous times for Protestant Frenchmen (Huguenots). He and Ann left France for Bristol, England where he pastored the French French in that city and she operated a school.

She and Pierre (Peter) had four children:
Joseph Richard Gautier, Thomas Nicholas Gautier (Find A Grave Memorial# 428830480), Anne Gautier - Hort and Peter William Gautier (Find A Grave Memorial# 542642520. The three boys ended up in North Carolina while Anne stayed in England, though several of her descendants made it to the US both in the North (NY,NJ) and the South ( a daughter in SC, and a son who is recorded to be in FL, LA, NC). There is some correspondence between Anne's descendants in England and Thomas Nicholas' American daughter Lucy available through the University of North Carolina.

In addition to their own children, we know from researchers Dorothy and Reid Craig via family correspondence, that Pierre and Anne raised three children born to a half sister of Anne's, a boy and two girls. William Richardson is counted as a cousin to Anne and Pierre's North Carolina residing children in various documents. And thanks to Fran Aitken's research, we see that Jane and Harriet Richardson are listed as witnesses to the marriage between young Anne Gautier (Anne and Pierre's daughter) and William Jillard Hort. -ch8My23

* 1758 Pierre and Anne Gautier Arrive from Jersey: "The final phase in the church's history began in 1758 with the arrival of Pastor Pierre Gautier from Jersey where he had fled from Normandy. His coming brought a measure of stability as he made great efforts to revive the community, using his many contacts in France in an attempt to encourage Huguenot immigration. His efforts met with no great success and, in spite of his own cheerful nature which won for him the friendship and respect of the Bristolians, the thirty or more years of his ministry were marked by disappointment and frustration. Disappointment came from the continual diminution of his flock - they were mostly old people now and death took a steady toll - and frustration with every reduction in his stipend in a period when the financial status of the Anglican clergy was steadily improving. Frustrating, too, was the failure of a grandiose immigration scheme conccerted in 1763 at the end of the Seven Years' War with his friend Court de Gebelin at Lausanne and a certain impetuous French pastor called Gibert and known as the Apostle of Saintonge. (Page 15)

* 1763 Drama Filled Easter Sunday: "Wearying too were the continual quarrels he had with his senior deacon, the rich, arrogant and half-mad apothecary Isaac Piguenit. The worst of these occurred on Easter Sunday 1763 when Gautier omitted to read in his church the Athanasian Creed. Piguenit abused him and told him he would have to answer for his omission to the Bishop. (Page 15) … Then he had 500 handbills printed exposing his own pastor. In a letter to a friend in London Gautier says that he counted up to forty of these bills stuck on the walls and posts of King's Square where he lived28 and that others had been pushed through letterboxes. The effect of this on his wife was such that the doctor had to be fetched at midnight to let the poor lady's blood. (Page 16)
