The Jaquelin surname has been recorded in various sources as both Jaquelin and Jacquelin. Jaquelin is the correct spelling of the surname.
Edward Jaquelin was born 1668 in the County of Kent, England. His parents, John (Jehan) Jaquelin and Elizabeth Craddock, Huguenots from La Vendee France, fled from France to England to avoid religious persecution.
Edward Jaquelin left England and went to Virginia, as a Huguenot refugee in 1697 and settled in Jamestown. He married twice. His first wife was Rachel Sherwood, whom he married around 1704. Rachel was the widow of William Sherwood and nearly twice the age of Edward. She didn't live long after their marriage. Edward took as his second wife Martha Cary, the daughter of William Cary and Martha Scarbrook (her maiden name has also been listed as Scarsbrook and Scarbrooke, a daughter of John ), whom he married in 1706.
John (Jean) Jaquelin’s progenitors are descended from the same stock which gave rise to the noble family of La Roche Jaquelin in France. They were Protestants and fled from La Vendee in France to England, in consequence of the persecutions of the Huguenots, during the reign of Charles IX, of France, and a short time previous to the massacre of St. Bartholomew. They were immensely wealthy, and were fortunate enough to convert a large portion of their wealth into gold and silver, which they transported in safety to England.
-------------------------------------------
Edward Jaquelin, son of John Jaquelin and Elizabeth Craddock, of the County of Kent in England, came over to Virginia in the year 1697. He was born in 1668 and died in 1730. He was twice married; first his wife was Rachel Sherwood, widow of William. She left no issue. He married his second wife, Martha Cary in 1706. She was born in 1686, died 1738. She was the daughter of William Cary, of Warwick County, Va., and Martha Scarbrook. Her father was the fourth son of Col. Miles Cary, who emigrated to this country in 1645.
By a mourning ring in the possession of Mary Marshall, the wife of Chief Justice Marshall, of the United States, I find that Edward Jaquelin died in 1730.

--------------------------------------
Edward's death has been recorded as 1730, however, the following appeared in the Virginia Gazette, November 16, 1739, which states:
On Friday night last, died at his house in Jamestown, in the 71st year of his age, Mr. Edward Jaquelin, formerly a representative from Jamestown and for many years justice for James City. Interred in the churchyard at Jamestown.
-----------------------------------
Edward and Martha were the parents of six children:
1. Mathew Jaquelin, b. 1707/8, d. 1727.
2. Elizabeth Jaquelin, b. Oct. 1709, d. 1756. She married Richard Ambler (1690-1766) in 1729. Some sources state Elizabeth died in 1739.
3. Martha Jaquelin, b. Jan. 1711, d. 1804. She never married.
4. Mary Jaquelin, b. Mar. 1714, d. Oct. 4, 1764. She married John Smith of "Shooter's Hill."
5. Edward Jaquelin, b. Dec. 1716, d. 1733/4.
His tombstone has been lost over time, but archeologists recently found a broken piece that they believe to be his wife, Martha (Cary) Jaquelin.
As his two sons died young and unmarried, the Jaquelin surname became extinct in the United States.
-----------------------------------
The entire Jaquelin family portraits were painted around 1722/3 by Nehemiah Partridge, who resided for a time in the Jaquelin household. The paintings were described as:
I. Edward Jaquelin, the father, in a full wig, holding a glove in his right hand, which has a white _____; with books in the background.
II. Mrs. Martha Jaquelin, the mother, is represented with her right arm leaning upon a red velvet cushion, whist she is draped in a green silk brocade.
III. Matthew Jaquelin, the oldest son, has his arms akimbo; with a scarlet cloak.
IV. Elizabeth Jaquelin, the second child, is dressed in a pink robe, with a blue shawl, and is holding a full-blown rose in her left hand.
V. Martha Jaquelin, the third child, is dressed in a light yellow robe, with a changeable-colored silk mantle, and is holding fruit before her.
VI. Edward Jaquelin, the fifth child, is represented as a little boy about six or seven years old. He is dressed in scarlet clothes, with a purple cloak, and is pointing with the forefinger of his left hand to a green parrot, which is perched upon a tree, and at which a little dog is barking.
---------------------------------
The portrait of Mary, the fourth child, was given many years ago by my (J. J. Ambler’s) father to his cousin Edward Smith, Esq., of Winchester, Frederick County, Va., it being the portrait of his mother.
(Note: Her portrait is recorded in the The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The omission of her name in the previous article must have been an error on the part of the author.)
