Both Guleyn and his wife were Walloons from from Valenciennes, France, and their family was one of the first to be established in New Netherland. In the collection of writings on "The Troubles brought to Valenciennes on account of Heresies," the names De la Vigne and Cuvelier (the French equivalent of the Dutch Cuvilje) are numerous in the index of victims of the Spanish Inquisition, which saw a flight of surviving relatives to Holland. In Holland a Jean De la Vigne served as Amsterdam's Walloon Domine from 1585 to 1622; and in 1613 or earlier, a Guillaume De la Vigne and Adrienne Cuvelier evidently found employment in expanding Dutch commerce. Their names became Dutchified as Guleyn Vigne and Adrianna Cuvilje. As their son was born in 1614, "the first male born of Europeans in New Netherland" it is reasonable to suppose they were members of the crew of one of the Dutch trading ships which visited Hudson's river in 1613, only four years after Henry Hudson's discovery of it. Of the four ships, one, the "Fortune" remained over the winter at Castle Island in the upper river where Fort Nassau was being established. Another, the "Tiger" caught fire off Manhattan Island and was beached. Guleyn Vigne and his wife must have been in the "Tiger's" crew, and spent the winter in huts on the southern shoulder (at about 39 Broadway) while a new ship the "Restless" (the first ship built in New York) was being fashioned from salvaged and green materials. The tradition is that Guleyn Vigne built his cabin on the East River strand at the spot where Wall St. now intersects Pearl St. His son Jan Vigne retained this part of the Old Jan Damen real estate until his death in 1689.

∼Guillaume Guleyn Vigne (Vigne is prounounced "Vin-Yeh") was born in Valenciennes, France between 1586 and 1590. He married Adrienne about 1610 and their first daughter, Christina, was born afterward. His family were Walloons, which were French-speaking Protestants from the southern Netherlands region that is now Belgium and northern France. In the 16th and 17th centuries, wars between the Netherlands, France and Spain occured in this area. A 12-year truce beginning in 1609 provided some respite, but the truce was not renewed when it expired in 1621. Another unsettling factor in that region was the desire of the Catholic French monarchy to convert or kill the Protestant population living within and along its borders. Many non-Catholics fled after having their property confiscated, includiing the Vignes.
Guillaume and his family immigrated to the Netherlands to escape religious persecuation. They lived in the city of Leiden, which was a protective and tolerant haven from war and prejudice. After they began living among the Dutch people, the Vigne name was changed to "Vienje." Guillaume became known as "Willem Vienje" and Adrienne as "Ariantje Vienje." "Vienje" was still pronounced as "Vigne."
The Vignes were one of thirty Walloon families selected by the Dutch West India Company to establish a permanent settlement in New Netherlands, which consists of modern-day New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut. The original Company plan was to send only a few men to set up a fur trading post on Manhattan Island. The addition of the Walloon families may have been a late change to the plans. It is possible that the families volunteered when they heard of the colonization plans. Also due to the fact that the Walloons were a displaced people who had become refugees in crowded little Holland. Thus, there was no land available to own as the Dutch people had run out of land and had just started to reclaim land from the sea.
The Vignes are believed to have sailed from Holland in April of 1624 on the "Nieuw Nederlandt" [or possibly on the "Eendracht," which means "Unity"]. The Vignes had three daughters, Christine, Maria and Rachel, when they sailed to America.
