Elizabeth and John were married about 1656 at Moeze, France, and they were the parents of:
Joshua/6 Jan 1658 m. Marie Chadeayne
Elizabeth/6 Nov 1660 (Mrs Pierre Masse)
Jean-John/1662
Daniel/abt 1665 m. Susanne Marie Doucinet
Paul-1/1 Jan 1668
Marie/6 Nov 1670
David/1672
Martha/1674
Paul-2/1675

Her husband died young, and the family being Protestant was threatened with persecution after 1685, when the Edict of Nantes was revoked. She being a widow, at this time, escaped around 1685 to England with her children. The family then came to New York about 1688 with the exception of son, Paul, who remained in England.

"The Saintonge was the center of the French Huguenots. Today, the region is famous for its production of the grapes that are used to produce cognac and Pineau des Charentes.

Huguenot immigrants founded New Paltz, New York, which has the oldest street in the current United States of America with the original stone houses, and New Rochelle, New York (named after La Rochelle in France). Louis DuBois, son of Chretien DuBois, was one of the original Huguenot settlers in this area. There was Huguenot settlement on the south shore of Staten Island, New York in 1692. The present-day neighborhood of Huguenot was named for those early settlers".
