Excerpt from Genealogy of the Jaquett Family I. I. Pierre Jaquet, a citizen of Geneva, was born the latter part of the fifteenth century. The family is said to have originated in the vicinity of Gex, Savoy, France. ("Armorial Genevois.") The arms of the family are produced in color in "Armorial Genevois, par J. B.-G. Galiffe, Adolphe Gautier et Aymon Galiffe. Nouvelle editione. Geneve. Georg & Co., Libraires editeurs, 1896," at plate 22. These same arms are mentioned by Rietstap as d'azur au chev., acc. en chef de deux etoiles (5), en p. d'un croiss. These arms were modified at later date by various branches of the family, apparently for differentiation.
