Pierre Testart was the son of Cyprien Testart and Marie Bossu. He died in Holland, November 1693.
1. The first of Pierre Testart's three wives was Catherine Bossu. Two of their daughters married Crommelins (ie brothers Jacob and Daniel Crommelin). 2. His second wife was Rachel Crommelin who happened to be a sister of Jacob and Daniel! 3. He married a third time to Anne Baullier after Rachel died while giving birth to their eighth child.

Pierre Testart was an elder at the Protestant 'temple' (church) that was permitted to serve the Protestants at St. Quentin under the provisions of the Edict of Nantes. Two other elders were Louis Crommelin (father of the 'Louis of Lisburn') and Samuel Crommelin (reputed to be the richest man in the region of Vermandois which included the area around St. Quentin). Louis was married to Marie Mettayer, a daughter of Jean Mettayer the pastor at Lehaucourt for many years. [Jean Mettayer was pastor from 1623 to 1668.] His son, Samuel Mettayer, who succeeded his father as pastor served from 1660 to 1685. When Samuel Mettayer, the new pastor, was occasionally absent to perform a baptism, marriage or burial, Pierre Testart would officiate at the ceremony.
