'Armorial' reports that, whilst there was "an aboriginal house" of this name in Jersey, the following family was not connected to it but "is supposed to have migrated from France so early as the latter part of the XVI century" and that "the famous family of Montl'herri is given credit of producing the father of the Jersey stock - a family whose founder was Gautier le Maistre, prevost of Paris in 1245". 'Armorial' shows 2 branches as follows, the first probably being the senior line.
