-1679 Jean Orange was born on January 16, 1639 in Bolbec and died
in Stepney, Middlesex London, England about
April 13, 1690. Judith Fauquet born in
1635 in Bolbec, Seine-Maritime, Haute-Normandie,
France and died after 1698 in London, England married Jean Orange on October
21, 1663 in Lintot, Seine-Maritime, Haute-Normandie, France. Jean and Judith had eight children
including my ancestor Louis Orange who was born on October 26, 1670
in Bolbec and who died in Henrico County, Virginia, USA on August 24, 1734. On October 22, 1685, French King Louis
XIV repealed the Edict of Nantes in an act called the Revocation. The Edict
was a Charter of Rights given to the Huguenots in 1598 which granted them freedom
of worship. All of France was Catholic except for the Huguenot
Protestants. As a result, thousands of Protestants were killed and
many thousands fled to England and other nearby countries. They
were required to renounce their religion and be re-baptized.[vi] Jean Orange was arrested in Maubeuge, France on February 14,
1686 and taken to Tourni, France. He said he “abjure at Rouen” on
January 19, 1686. On March 6, 1686 he was forgiven for
sentencing. This means he gave up his Protestant belief and was
re-baptized a catholic which saved him and his family from sentencing and
certain death. This history is on his record at the
Huguenot archives in London, England, where he and other family members are
listed as French Refugees on March 5, 1687.[vii] Specifically, Jean Orange and
his daughter Judith made record on May 2, 1687 in Spitalfield ds HSL Vol
39. His son Jean “young man of Bolbec” made record on September
25, 1687. Accord CLEMENT Jean 1687. There is a record of a John Orange
buried April 13, 1690 in Stepney,
Middlesex, London, England.[viii] This is thought to
be Jean (pronounced like John in the English spelling) Orange which
is why Judith is stated as a widow in 1698 in the Huguenot archives. Lewis (English spelling of
Louis) Orange married Mary Whitehead on October 1, 1699 in St.
Nicholas, Deptford, Kent, England.[ix] This is about 6 months before Louys
Orange and Mary and infant left for America on the Huguenot
ship. In addition, The National Huguenot Society has listed the
Orange family as French Huguenots[x]. There are records of a Louys 1661, Louys
1663, and an L’Orange family line. None of these are
related to Louis Orange born 1670 to Jean Orange. 1) A
baptism of Louys Orange on September 07, 1662 in a French Catholic Church in
Saint Germaine en Laye and
it indicates that he was born on 02 November 1661. His parents are listed as
Jacques Orange and Guillemette Thomas. Guillemette was born on August 11,
1641 in Jugon-les-Lacs, Cotes-d’Armor, Bretagne, France. The
source was the Upper Brittany, France Births & Baptism, 1501-1907 saved
online in ancestry.com and familysearch.com. Jacques is from Gagny and is a varlet - a nobleman in training to be
a Knight (foot soldier) in the King's army. The godparents also appear to be
nobles. 2) There is
another Louys Orange in France in the 1600s who also is likely not a direct
relative. This Louys Orange was
born September 10, 1663 .This information was provided
by 95, Mesnil Aubry,
, VAL D'OISE as indicated on the web page. His father was
also named Louys Orange and was born in 1629 and died January 25, 1694
in a’Mesnil Aubry,
Val D’oise. I do not have the location in
France. He married Madeleine Bouticourt (born
on April 22, 1636) on June 22, 1656. Her father was named Hubert and her
mother was Charlotte La Quenouille. They had 7
children of which one was Louys. This Louys Orange was born September 10,
1663 in a’ MesnilAubry, Val D’oise. I cannot find any other information on
this Louys Orange nor the previous Louys Orange who was born in 1661. 3) There is also
another web page that claims Louys Orange was related to Sir Velas L'Orange but
I think that is unlikely even though they site an approved genealogy of
Marie L’Orange published in The Huguenot,
Publication 19 pp. 118-124. Linwood E. Orange published Orange of
Virginia in 1997 which says he was a descendant of Louis Orange abt 1675 in France. His information comes
from gravestones and obituaries; Paige S. Orange and Ann Barden Carroll
helped him. There was a L’Orange who also came to America on a Huguenot ship
who is more likely the direct relative. 4) There is one
other listing of the name Orange in the LDS index to the Saint Germain-en-Laye church records from 1550-1700. It
appears to be a burial of an Orange in 1684 but may not be; the actual record
is all but illegible. The church records of Gagny start
in 1680 and there is no index. The search must continue in the French
archives. In England, there are many Oranges
listed as belonging to the French Protestant Church and being aliens to
England.[xi] These
records are found in the 1600's and it is thought that they were part of the
French Huguenots who left France for England in 1685. The records of the LDS
indicate about 200 people with the name Orange in England, however none list
a Louis. Last
