     You asked about parents of Etienne, father of Judith Mallet Clark. His father was Etienne, who arrived in 1699 with his wife Marie aboard the "Mary and Ann", the first of four ships bearing Huguenots from London to Virginia, to settle at Mannakintown, near present day Richmond. Etienne died in about 1712, leaving his son and two daughters orphans, as Marie had predeceased him. The three children are listed in Brock in a census from around 1714 as among 14 orphans. All this is available online. See: http://manakin.addr.com/, http://manakin.addr.com/web.htm and http://manakin.addr.com/brock4.htm. Another copy and background is at http://www.ls.net/~newriver/va/manakin.htm
     BTW, I am descended from Judith's older brother, William.
     Etienne's will stated he was a native of Bordeaux and lists his three children, thereby authenticating Etienne as his son. Unfortunately, I do not have authenticated any information about Etienne and Marie's life before Virginia.
     There was an Etienne Malett baptized in Sep 1674 at the Huguenot church in Threadneedle Street, London, the son of Jacob Malett. Another Etienne Mailet was witness (godfather).
     In Jul 1673, an Etienne Mailet, a native of Montauban, married Marie Coquart at the church. He was son of Etienne.
     It is possible the the Elder Etienne had two sons, Jacob and Etienne, and that Jacob named his son after his grandfather. But why would Etienne have been born in Bordeaux and baptized in London? Perhaps he was carried to London so that his grandparents could serve as godparents. Bordeaux is just west of and down river from Montauban, so perhaps Jacob and wife were en route when the infant arrived, or they could have removed to Bordeaux from Montauban before deciding to leave France later.
     I lack two key bits of authentication:
          1. Etienne bap. 1674 as our Etienne who came to Virginia.
          2. Jacob as son of Etienne the Elder, and brother of Etienne who married in 1673.
     I'd like to find a birth registration for Etienne in Bordeaux, which would
give his parents names. I'd like to find the record of his marriage to Marie. If I could find one of these two items, we could verify that Jacob was the father of the same Etienne who came to Virginia. Then we would need to connect Jacob to his father Etienne.
     A couple of sites on the internet have already made these connections, but without giving the authentication source.
     Hope this helps. Let me know if you locate any of the missing records above.1
