Monsieur Blondel, who was a wealthy jeweler, was arrested in Lyon, France, and burned to death in Paris for his faith in Jesus Christ.  Here is a link to the text in "Foxe's Book of Martyrs" that describes that tragic event and the religious, social, and political cultures of that period of time in French history.

This is a French site that lists Jean Blondel as a lawyer practicing law at "The Parliment of Paris"  The title and link for the page is:   Tableau Des Avocats Au Parlement de Paris

    This is a site that clearly shows the confusion the population on the American mainland had concerning Saint Domingue. Holy Trinity Catholic Church Records These are the records of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  They confused the Spanish colony of Santo Domingo with the French colony of Saint Domingue.  If you do a search of the page for Domingo your browser will find many entries.  Often with the residential listing of the colony of San Domingo the city of Cap Français will be recorded as the city of residence of the people referred to.  Cap Français was without question in the French owned colony of Saint Domingue.  This site also contains records about  Anthony Blondel.
