their freedom of government as men and the rights of conscience as Chris- tians. Hence in its popular usage, this term conveyed the primary idea of freemen, in contradistinction to mamelukes, serfs, or slaves, by which name the party of the Duke was better known ; and also the secondary idea of a religious reformation, in the mind of the adherents to the Romish faith. For the city of Geneva, having embraced the Reformed doctrines, and immedi- ately thereafter, thrown off their allegiance, under the circumstances already given, the term Eigenossen became identified among the papists with the notion of rebels, or apostates from the church, and was therefore consequent- ly used as a term of reproach.
From Geneva, where he had taught with so much success that instead of Zurich, it became the metropolis of the Reformed Churches, Calvin, ardent in the discharge of what he conceived his duty, pushed his doctrines with eminent success into his native kingdom of France. They were readily em- braced by the learned and the pious, without regard to caste or standing in society. The admiral Gaspar de Coligni, D'Andelot, Mornay, Duplessis, La Renandie, the Prince de Conde Ann Dubourg, Theodore Beza, and a host of others equally worthy and eminent for their virtues, were among the firmest supporters of the Reformation, and the teachers of its doctrines .- Sustained by such men even against the power of the court; in the midst of persecutions and civil wars-the professors of the Reformed religion were spoken of with respect; and although the term Eidgeness or Eedgenot, was known in France at the time, still no effort was made to bring them into disrepute by the application of this or any other term of ridicule expect when they were occasionally called " the pretended roformed" or " seditious relig- ionists" in the papers. Thus they remained, until on the accession of Francis, Il. to the throne and his early marriage with Mary, Queen of Scot- land. Being very young in years, and devotedly attached to his young Queen, he readily transfered the care of his kingdom to his wife's uncle, the Dukes of Guise and Loraine. This begat discontent among the protestants who only wanted a leader to organize them into a formidable body. Calvin like Thomas Cranmer, the celebrated reformer, had taught that the king was supreme, and acting upon this principle, the French Calvinist maintained that the King being yet in his minority was to be protected by his subjects from the tyranny of his uncles ; to this end a plan was concerted known as the conspiracy of Amboise, for their overthrow of which the Prince de Conde was unanimously chosen as leader; but without his knowledge, nor was he to be considered as a participator, until the time of action arrived. John De Bari, and the Sieur La Renandi, in the meantime were to direct all their movements. In conformity with this plan they convened a meeting of the protestant leaders at Nantes, in the darkness of the night in a ruined build- ing on the outskirts of the town. Before they proceeded to develope their schemes, Le Renandi, administered solemn oaths " nothing be done or at- tempted against the King and Queen-mother, or princes, his brothers.' To this agreement they all swore; and after praying for success, they parted with fraternal embraces and in tears, The time and place of carrying their plot into execution, was to be at Blois, on the 15th of March, 1550. By some means the plot was discovered to the Count and therefore, the Duke of Guise was appointed Lieutenant General of the Kingdom, with supreme power in all cases, civil and military. Armed with this authority he adopted the most energetic measures to suppress the protestants, and although succeeded in defeating and killing Le Renandi and a few of his companions, yet the effect was not produced which the Count anticipated ; but on the contrary,

the Roformed party increased in numbers and displayed additional zeal and activity in all their movements much to the annoyance of the Guises and their adherents."
It is only at this period of history in France then that we find the profese sors of the Reformed religion first designated by the term Huguenots. They were identified in faith with the Reformed at Geneva, and like them, upon the discovery of the conspiracy referred to, were called Eidgenossen, that is in the Papist sense, rebels and apostates. From this, owing to their igno- rance of the orthography of the German word, and their inability to pro- nounce it correctly ; but yet well knowing its import, it is easy to conceive, that Frenchmen would readily corrupt it into Huguenot. The analogy is striking, the facts undoubted, and the reasons given, to our mind, at least satisfactory.
With this brief inquiry into the origin of the term Eidgenossen, i. e. Huguenot, we might rest, but as there are many' descendants of this brave, moral, religious and much persecuted people, residing in Lancaster county and in some instances still living upon the farms originally patented by their refugee ancestors, we feel bound to say a word concerning them. After the Huguenot colonies at New Rochelle, West Chester county, Esopus, Ulster county, New York, had been formed, some of their number at an early day. as has been shown (pages, 101, 107, 111,) emigrated to this county and com- menced settlements. This soon opened the way for a direct emigration of their persecuted brethren still remaining in France, and of others who had sought protection of the protestant powers of Switzerland, Germany, Hol- land and England. Among the most prominent of these early Huguenot settlers in this county, we give the names of several heads of families, as follows : Le Fevre, Firre, or Fuehre. now corrupted into Ferree, Brinton, Le Mont, now written Leman, Bushong, Deshong, Le Roy, anglified into King, Le Bazure, now corrupted into Bezoar, or Besore, La Rue, Dubois, La Pierre, anglified : into Stein, Goshen, Barre De Normandie, Meessakop, now spelt Messenkop, Bucher, Verdre, De Hoof, now spelt Dehuff, Le Chaar, now written Lescher, Cherrard, and others.
These pious and persecuted men with their fellow refugees and families passed " through much tribulation," until at length they secured for them- selves and posterity an assylum where they could " worship God according, to the dictates of their own consciences." Although they succeeded far be- yond their most sanguine expectations, still they looked back with regret, and in many instances with home-sick hearts; upon the vine-clad hills and sunny fields of their own much loved France. They were exiles from the land of their nativity, the broad billows of the Atlantic rolled between them and the graves of their fathers. Separated from friends and kindred, who in turn were driven to seek the protection of foreign potentates or restrained by the policy of the government, after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, from emigrating and forced into an abjuration of their faith-how harrassing must have been their feelings and how sore their trials !! But, " He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," was still gracious unto them ; he who hadpro- tected and defended them from dangers imminent and terrible, was still " their strength and abiding placc." Time blunted the keeness of their sor- rows, and as the forest began to bloom beneath their labors, they sat down in contentment, and in daily prayer returned thanksgiving unto Him, who is the Author of every good and perfect gift.
