Barid states that "Of the settlers of Manakintown, Virginia, from the Isle of Re: Paul Bernard, Janvier, and Abraham Salle, were natives of Re." Further down the page, is the statement which probably identifies the church where Abraham and Olive were married:
"Phillipe Janiver, sa femme, trois enfans, fled to England from the Ile de Re in 1683. Pierre Janvier and Marie Boynaux were married in the Swallow Street French Church, London, December, 1711. Thomas Janvier, the ancestor of all the families of Janvier in this country, was a Huguenot.
This is a partial confirmation of Janvier as the surname of Abraham's mother. Baird also states: "The children of Abraham Salle and Olive Perault wife...baptised in the French Church, were Abraham..and Jacob."

Brock gives the following which, despite the spelling is considered to refer to Abraham and his family.
