HAUTESERRE (Madame d’), wife of the preceding; born in 1763; mother of Robert and Adrien; showed throughout her wearied, saddened frame the marks of the old regime.  Following Goujet’s advice she countenanced the deeds of Mlle. de Cinq-Cygne, the bold, dashing counter-revolutionist of Arcis during 1803 and succeeding years.  Mme. Hauteserre survived her sons. [The Gondreville Mystery.]

HAUTESERRE (Robert d’), elder son of the foregoing.  Brusque, recalling the men of mediaeval times, despite his feeble constitution.  A man of honor, he followed the fortunes of his brother Adrien and his kinsmen the Simeuses.  Like them, he emigrated during the first Revolution, and returned to the neighborhood of Arcis about 1803.  Like them again he became enamored of Mlle. de Cinq-Cygne.  Wrongly accused of having abducted the senator, Malin de Gondreville, and sentenced to ten years’ hard labor, he obtained the Emperor’s pardon and was made sub-lieutenant in the cavalry.  He died as colonel at the storming of Moskowa, September 7, 1812. [The Gondreville Mystery.]

HAUTESERRE (Adrien d’), second son of M. and Mme. d’Hauteserre; was of different stamp from his older brother Robert, yet had many things in common with the latter’s career.  He also was influenced by honor.  He also emigrated and, on his return, fell under the same sentence.  He also obtained Napoleon’s pardon and a commission in the army, taking Robert’s place in the attack on Moskowa; and in recognition of his severe wounds became brigadier-general after the battle of Dresden, August 26, 27, 1813.  The doors of the Chateau de Cinq-Cygne were opened to admit the mutilated soldier, who married his mistress, Laurence, though his affection was not requited.  This marriage made Adrien Marquis de Cinq-Cygne.  During the Restoration he was made a peer, promoted to lieutenant-general, and obtained the Cross of Saint-Louis.  He died in 1829, lamented by his wife, his parents and his children. [The Gondreville Mystery.]

HAUTESERRE (Abbe d’), brother of M. d’Hauteserre; somewhat like his young kinsman in disposition; made some ado over his noble birth; thus it happened that he was killed, shot in the attack on the Hotel de Cinq-Cygne by the people of Troyes, in 1792. [The Gondreville Mystery.]

HAUTOY (Francis du), gentleman of Angouleme; was consul at Valence.  Lived in the chief city of Charente between 1821 and 1824; frequented the Bargetons; was on the most intimate terms with the Senonches, and was said to be the father of Francoise de la Haye, daughter of Mme. de Senonches.  Hautoy seemed slightly superior to his associates. [Lost Illusions.]

HENRI, police-agent at Paris in 1840, given special assignments by Corentin, and placed as servant successively at the Thuilliers, and with Nepomucene Picot, with the duty of watching Theodose de la Peyrade. [The Middle Classes.]

HERBELOT, notary of Arcis-sur-Aube during the electoral period of spring, 1839; visited the Beauvisages, Marions and Mollots. [The Member for Arcis.]
