    "Francois de Marets, or de Mares, as his name appears, was born about the year 1555. At Norwich he was a Lieutenant of the Walloon Militia,a body to which the colonists were entitled.

  1. 4.  Jacques Des Marets, Jr. was born in 1519 in Beauchamps, Amiens, District Of Cambray, France (son of Jacques Des Marets, Sr. and Wife); died in 1604 in Norwich, England.

    Notes:

    "Jacques des Marets, founder of the Demares family in England, was born in the year 1519, and the fact that he was a brother of Jean des Marets, born 1518, founder of the de Marces or de Marez family in Holland, has never been doubted. He fled during the religious and political persecutions by the Inquisition and the House of Hapsburg in the Netherlands with his family to Norwich, in England. This probably occured in 1567. He and his family belonged to the Walloon Reformed Church at Norwich.
    Jacques de Marets died at Norwich in 1604, the same year when his brother Jean died at Amsterdam. His wife was Antoinette Suceur.
    In a power-of-attorney issued by his widow and heirs in 1604, he is called as having died at the age of eighty-five. This document was in 1732 in hands of Jacques Joseph de Marez se Sancourt, in the Landof Cambray.
    From the above named document it appears that Jacques de Marets, of Norwich, England, and his wife, Antoinette Suceur, had three sons, namely: Francois, Pierre (who died before his father) and Jean, of whom Francois de Marets and Jean de Marets with their families were living at Norwich in 1604.
    An excellent account of "The Walloons and Their Church at Norwich" isfurnished by the late vice-president of the Huguenot Society ofLondon, W.J.C. Moens (1888)." Early Genealogical Record, pg. xx,para. 2-6.
