Notes and references
- ↑ This unusual stone represents two Josue Billots, father and son, and their wives. It does not read 17 IBL BGRILS 97, as shown by HER. The stone does not relate to any event in the lives of either couple, but marks the refronting of the house in 1797, and was probably commissioned by the younger Josue
