Family/Spouse: Wife. and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Founder of the de Marces or de Marez family in Holland, Netherlands.

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.

Notes:

"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. He probably lived the last years of his life at London, where most of his children are found registered in the French Church.
Francois de Mares married twice. His first wife, Elisabeth Herbecq, died between 1601 and 1604. On December 24, 1604, he remarried at Norwich with Phebe du Rieu.
Of the first marriage there were five, of the second, six children.Only the last child of the first and all the children of the second marriage were baptized in the Walloon Church of Norwich.
On September 10, 1605, Francois de Mares transferred for himself and for his minor children, named Jacques, Jean, Elisabeth, Anna and Esther, represented by their guardians, Nicolas De Mares and Philip Carlier, to Jean de Mares, son of Nicolas, residing in the Land of Cambray, the fief of Cauroit, near Cambray, inherited by him from hi sfather, Jacques de Mares, in 1604. Witnesses to this transaction were Nicolas de Mares and Louis de Mares, brothers." Early Genealogical Record, pg. xx, para.'s 7-9.

*Jean married Margrieta DehervilleBeauchamps, Amiens, District Of Cambray, France. Margrieta was born in France; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"David with his parents was forced to flee from France because oftheir Protestant religion. They moved in 1642 to Middleburg, on theisland of Walcheren off the west coast of Holland, where they joined acolony of Belgian and French refugees. A protestant Church (Walloon)had been firmly established here, and the names of Jean desMarets andfamily appeared as members in 1643. In this Church David marriedMarie Sohier, whose family had taken refuge during the first Walloonmigration. The term "Walloon" was used to refer to BelgianProtestants while the term "Huguenot" denoted French back-ground.
Due to the frequently shifting boundary lines between France andBelgium, an exact date must be known in order to determinenationalities, but most of the families here were French.
The family moved next to Germany and in 1651 were living within theGerman Palatinate at Mannheim on the Rhine. French and BelgianProtestants from Holland and England were fleeing to this refuge,fearing a war between those two countries.
Many of the refugees then living in Mannheim later joined the NewFrench Settlement in America, established at Harlem, north of NewAmsterdam.
Soon the Palatinate was threatened with hostile invasion byneighboring Catholic princes, and the desMarets, ........, and anumber of other French families left Mannheim, sailed down the Rhine,and after a short stay in Amsterdam embarked for the New Netherlandson the ship Bontekoe (The Spotted Cow), skipper Jan Bergen. The dateApr. 16, 1663 may have been that of departure from Holland, or arrivalin America." Narrative, pg. xxi.
"The desMarets made the voyage safely and upon arrival settled firstin a Huguenot village on Staten Island where they remained for twoyears before moving to Harlem ...." Narrative, pg. xxii.

"French Church of Kinderkamack, Hackensack, Milford, Bergen County,New Jersey joined with a Dutch Reform Church at Hackensack, known as"Church On The Green. " Narrative, pg. xxxii, para. 6.
"The famous Demarest heart strone bearing the date 1696 and theintials D.M.R. (meaning David desMarets) was placed in the east wallof the new church. It is said that within the four arms of theHuguenot Cross a heart appears. The phrase "Jesus is the heart ofGod" is found many times in the literature of the ancient mystics"Narrative, pg. xxxii, para. 7.
"His will was dated Aug 26, 1689 and probated July 30, 1697. His willincluded a bequest to Anna Cronk, possibly his housekeeper, of 100acres, and the rest of his estate went to his sons, equally, exceptthat the son David (Jr.) had died (prior to David Sr.'s death), so"Jean Durie our cousin" represented the children of David Jr. and he(Jean Durie) later married the widow (Rachel CressondesMarets/desMarest)."
