1. LABORIE, Rev. James, a Huguenot minister and physician, came to Stratford about 1708 or 9. "Laborie," Jacobus Cardailhacensis apud Cadur- cos," completed the study of theology in the Academy of Geneva, in France, March 12. 1688. (Libre du Rectur.) He was ordained in Zurich, Oct. 30, 1688, and went to England, where he obtained a license from the Bishop of London, for teaching grammar and catechising in the parish of Stepney. He officiated in several of the French churches of London for nine or ten years, and then in 1698 came to America. After ministering for some time to the French colony in New Oxford, Mass., and laboring as a missionary among the Indians in the vicinity, he went to New York and took charge of the French church in that city, as Peiret's successor, for two years, from October 15, 1704, to August 25, 1706. He then engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery.


He was in Stratford as early as April, 1711, as the record shows, and probably several years before. April 12, 1711, " James Laborie, gentleman and physician .... being under expectation of being called into her Majesties service at Anapolis Royal or elsewhere," made over to his brother Anthony Laborie, of Guilford, "Gentleman and Chyrurgeon as feoffee in trust" for the use and behalf of his said wife " Mary." with whom he received "a con- siderable estate at his marriage." (Land Records.) He purchased a house and lot in Stratford in 1712, and another in 1713, one of which he gave to his son, Doct. James Laborie, April 26, 1716, upon his marriage.


It is not known when he or his wife died.
