Bernard-Joseph Saurin
Bernard-Joseph Saurin (1706 in Paris – 17 November 1781 in Paris) was a lawyer, poet, and playwright. Biography Saurin was the son of Joseph Saurin, a converted Protestant minister and mathematician who had been accused in 1712 by Jean-Baptiste Rousseau of being the actual author of defamatory verses that gossip had attributed to Rousseau.Rousseau was prosecuted for defamation of character and condemned to perpetual exile. Attracted to literature, and frequenting the Society of the Caveau, he became a lawyer at Parliament, a career which he did not like, but endured for fifteen years in order to support his family. His professional life in the theatre began when he was forty. Neither his comedy ''Les Trois rivaux'' (''The Three Rivals''), nor his tragedy ''Aménophis'' met with success, which came in 1760 with the tragedy ''Spartacus'' and the comedy ''Les Mœurs du temps'' (''The Manners of the Time''), which were applauded at the Comédie-Française.

Jacques Saurin
Jacques Saurin (January 6, 1677 – December 30, 1730) was a major French religious figure in the late 17th century and early 18th century who was particularly well-known as a preacher. While he began his career as a Catholic priest, Saurin ultimately converted and became a pastor of the Reformed Church of France. Early life and education Jacques Saurin was born in Nîmes, France on January 6, 1677. He was the oldest child of Jean Saurin (1632-1705), a lawyer and the secretary of the Academy of Nîmes, and Hippolyte de Tournière. Jacques Saurin had three younger siblings: Louis, Marc-Antoine, and Anne-Marie. Saurin and his siblings were raised as huguenots.

James Saurin
James Saurin (c.1760–1842) was an Irish Anglican bishop in the 19th century. He was the last Bishop of Dromore before it was merged with the Diocese of Down and Connor. He was born in Belfast, the third of the four sons of James Saurin, vicar of Belfast (died 1774) and Jane Duff. Dunlop, Robert, ''William Saurin'' ''Dictionary of National Biography 1885-1900'' Vol. 50 p.333 William Saurin, Attorney General for Ireland, was his elder brother. The Saurins were of Huguenot extraction, originally from Nimes in France. It was probably the Bishop's grandfather, Louis, who settled in Ireland about 1727 and became Dean of Ardagh; Louis was a brother of the celebrated preacher Jacques Saurin. Like his brothers, James was educated at Dubourdien's School, a well-regarded private academy in Lisburn.

William Saurin
William Saurin (1757 – 11 February 1839) was an Irish barrister, Crown official and politician. He was Attorney-General for Ireland from 1807 to 1822, and for much of that period, he acted as the effective head of the Irish Government. He was unusual among Irish Law Officers in that he was never appointed a judge, nor wished to become one. As an Ulster Protestant, and a determined opponent of Catholic Emancipation, he incurred the bitter enmity of Daniel O'Connell, who called him "the mortal foe", and worked for years to have him removed from office.Geoghegan, Patrick M. ''King Dan- the rise of Daniel O'Connell'' Gill and Macmillan Dublin 2008 p.191 Family Saurin was born in Belfast, second of the four sons of the Reverend James Saurin, Vicar of Belfast (died 1774) and his wife Jane Duff. James Saurin, Bishop of Dromore, was his younger brother. The Saurins were of French Huguenot descent (no doubt this is why Daniel O'Connell called William an "insolent transplanted Frenchma ...
