Notiz | Louis Du Bois, a leader of the French Huguenot settlers at New Paltz, New York, was a son of Chretien Du Bois, a Huguenot of Wicres, near Lille, in Artois Province which now is French Flanders. Catherine Blanchan was a daughter of Matthieu Blanchan and Madeleine Joris, who came to America on the Gilded Otter, which arrived in New Netherland in June 1660 from England. Louis and Catherine were married in Mannheim, Germany, on 10 October 1655 and, apparently, came to New Netherland on the ship St. Jan Baptist (St. Jean Baptiste) from England, which landed on 06 August 1661.
Their sons Abraham and Isaac were aged 4 and 2, respectively, when they arrived. Louis settled his family at Hurley in Ulster County, New York, and they were there in 1670 when son Solomon was born.
Louis Du Bois was called Louis the Walloon because he came from the part of Flanders lying between the Scheldt and Lys whose residents were known as Walloons. |
