S'r,-Here enclosed is a copy of ye List of ye Refugees given to ye Miller, as it has been sent unto mee by Messrs. de Joux and Philipe under their hands; but there is no corn, and Mr. de Saillee lying here sick since he came from Westopher, and having already provided all what he could, cannot supply them any longer; so I don't know what to do unless some care be taken to send some corn up. I heard that y'r Excellency hath our Indenture of the Lands we have purchased in fflorida; so I desire y'r Exc'y to send it up to mee, keeping a copie if you please, because it cost us a great deal of money, which we expect to recover, or part of it. I wish also that ye Factious and scan- dalous Petition presented by Mr. de joux be delivered unto me if you please, or burnt, to pacifie all what is past, avoid com- plaints and disputes, and to procure Peace and Love.
Mr. Philipe haveing no allowance in England is not able to subsist with his wife unless your Exc'y grant him some money out of the gratifications made to the refugees which shall be a Charity very great and necessary. I desire Coll. Byrd to lett me know if I can have accommodations to go to England in one of ye Ships Lying by Westopher ; after his answer I shall endeavor to go to Williamsburgh to take my leave, and to assure your Excellency that I will ever be,

embrace the new faith in the early days of the French Reformation. He became its most earnest supporter, "consumed with zeal for the cause of religion," and his descendants inherited the same devotion. His three sons fought in the Huguenot armies under Henry IV, and his grandson, David, Marquis de la Muce, presided over the political assem- bly of the Protestants held in La Rochelle in the year 1621. For his attendance upon that assembly, contrary to the King's commands, he was condemned to be drawn and quartered, a sentence which was exe- cuted upon him in effigy, whilst his beautiful castle was actually demol- ished and razed to the ground. Cæsar, his son, and Olivier, his grandson, were elders in the Reformed Church of Nantes. Under the provisions of the Edict of Nantes the Seigneurs de la Muce claimed the right of holding religious services in their own house, and besides supporting this worship they contributed generously to the funds of the "temple " in the adjoining village of Suce. Soon after the Revocation Olivier de la Muce fled from his home and was arrested on the island of Ré, while waiting for an opportunity to make his escape to England. Imprisoned for two years, first in La Rochelle, and afterwards in the Castle of Nantes, he resisted every effort to persuade him to deny his faith. At length an order was given for the expulsion of the Marquis de la Muce from the kingdom as an obstinate heretic. Accordingly, he was placed on board a foreign ship, the captain of which received orders to land him in England, but carefully to conceal from him the fact that he was about to be set free.
Twelve years later, he headed the expedition to Virginia and became the founder of the Manakin-town settlement. He was a man of recognized excellence of character. Baird's Huguenot Emigration to America, II, 87-89.

16 Rev. Lewis Latané was rector of South Farnham parish, Essex county, from 1700 until his death, which is mentioned by Commissary Blair in a letter to the Bishop of London, dated March 24, 1734 [1735]. Perry's Virginia Church Papers, 257. He was the joint patentee with Bartholomew Yates, Christopher and John Robinson, Jeremiah Clowder, Harry Beverley, William Stanard and Edwin Thacker of 24,000 acres of land on the south side of the Rapid Anne in Spotsylvania county, July 20, 1722. l'irginia Land Registry, Book No. 11, page 147. Rev. Lewis Latané was twice married before he came to Virginia, and afterwards married, thirdly, Mary Deane, (died 1732) by whom he had issue five daughters and one son, William, who married Ann Waring, of Essex county, and had issue : i. Lucy married Payne Waring ; ii. Henry, born 1777 : married -; iii. Daughter, married John Temple, and others. A descendant of Rev. Lewis Latané, the gallant Captain Latané, fell near Old Church, Hanover county, Virginia, on the second of the famed four days' raid of General J. E. B. Stuart. Confederate States Cavalry ( June 12-15, 1862), around the lines of General George B. Mcclellan, and found romantic burial at the hands of Virginia ladies, assisted by their servants. He was buried at "Summer Hill," the seat of Captain Willoughby Newton, Confederate States Army (who also, a little later, sealed with his life his devotion to his country), near Hanover Town, Virginia, the burial service of the Episcopal Church, being read by the venerable mother of Captain Newton. The scene was perpetuated on canvass by Washington, a Virginia artist, and the engraving from the painting is a favored decoration in Virginia households. Another de- scendant is Rev. James A. Latané, Bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Church of the United States.

18 Deneale, a well-known Fairfax county, Virginia, name, is probably a corruption of Deneille.
19 Baird, II, 41, states that Jean Thomas settled in South Carolina, and gives from Liste des Francois et Suisses Refugiez in Caroline this extract : "Jean Thomas, né à St. Jean d' Angely in Saintonge, fils de Jean Thomas et d'Anne Dupon.
20 The name is now rendered Maupin in Virginia. An estimable representative was the late Socrates Maupin, Professor of Chemistry in the University of Virginia (1853-1871), and chairman of its faculty (1854-1868); killed by a fall from his horse October 19, 1871. Daniel Maupin, doubtless a son of the refugee, was granted 1, 188 acres of land in Albemarle county September 20, 1745. ( Virginia Land Regis- try, Book No. 31, page 652.) Gabriel Maupin was keeper of the public magazine at Williamsburg in 1791.

24 " La Veure des Sr. Lorange, paroisse St. Sauvier, La Rochelle, fled to England in 1682, leaving 'quelque bien en Poitou,'" (Arch. Nat.) Baird, I, 296. The name is also rendered L'Orange.
25 Baird, II, 71, states that " Daniel Du Chemin (born at Caen, in Nor- mandy) was naturalized in New York, September 27, 1687, with his son, Daniel, and his daughter, Catharine, born at the Isle of St. Christopps. * * The name does not reappear until eighty years later when another Daniel Duchemin obtains a marriage license in the city of New York, July 7, 1767, and receives letters of naturalization May 20, 1769.
26 Probably from St. Nazaire, in Saintonge, (see Baird, II, 16). The name is now rendered Guerrant in Virginia. John Guerrant was a member of the Virginia Convention of 1788, and the name has been often prominently represented in Virginia.

"The name Pasteur is now invested with world-wide special interest through the recent scientific discoveries of the eminent French chemist in alleviation of the dread malady, hydrophobia. A curiosity as to his descent may be pardonable. It may be that he springs from the same conscientious strain as the refugee of the text. Rev. James Pasteur appears as " lecturer" for Norfolk parish, Norfolk county, in 1754 .- (Perry's Church Papers of Virginia, page 413.) William Pasteur, a descendant in the second generation, probably of the refugee, was, in 1752, an apprentice with Dr. George Gilmer (surgeon, physician and apothecary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the ancestor of the distin- guished Virginia family of the name), and served as a surgeon in the Virginia line during the Revolutionary war. 3

VIRGINIA-SS :
Delivered to the ffrench Refugees on the Charitable sub- scription of severall persons :
At ffalling Creek 30 256 Bushells of Indian Corn, besides pri- vate donation. Quantity not Known, whether of Corn nor Wheate. Capt. Webb for Beeves and Corn to Monsieur de Joux Company, and Corn delivered Mons. de Joux Company from Mrs. Kennon's mill (10 Busshells by Capt. Webb's note), and ever since their arrivall by mine. Quantity not knowne.
30 Falling Creek flows into James river on the south side. about seven miles below the city of Manchester, and twenty below the site of Mana- kin-town settlement. Upon this creek, in 1619, was erected the first iron-furnace in America, the operations of which were suspended by the Indian massacre of March 22, 1622. Colonel William Byrd obtained, April 20, 1687, a grant of 1,800 acres, within the limits of which was included the site of the ill fated iron-works. October 29, 1696, he obtained a grant of 5,644 acres lying contiguous thereto, giving as a reason therefor, in a note prefixed to a record of his landed posses sions, that " there having been iron-works on Falling Creek in the time of the Company, and Colonel Byrd having an intention to carry them on, and foreseeing that abundance of wood might be necessary for so great a work, he took up a large tract," &c. It is not known that either he or his son ever revived the iron works. A grist mill now owned by Mr. H. Carrington Watkins, located opposite to the site of the iron-works of 1619, in all probability occupies the site of the mill of William Byrd referred to in the text. The Falling Creek tract was purchased by Colonel Archibald Cary some time prior to the Revolutionary war. Upon it he erected his well-known seat, the name of which became in the records of the period part and parcel of his personal designation as "Archibald Cary, of Ampthill." He erected new iron-works on Falling Creek, but abandoned his forge, and converted his pond to the use of a grist-mill about 1760. The editor visited Ampthill and Falling Creek in May, 1876, and definitely identified, through bits of cinder remaining, the sites of both the iron works of 1619 and of 1760.

33 Benjamin Harrison was clerk of Virginia Council in 1630. The name appears as a patentee of lands in "Warrosquoracke, " and James City counties, 1635-43. Benjamin Harrison-doubtless him of the text -was assistant revisor of the laws of the Colony, 1700; Speaker of the House of Burgesses and Treasurer in 1706. He appears to have died in 1710, as Peter Beverley was ele ted Speaker and Treasurer in Octo- ber, 1710, and at the same session of the Burgesses, Elizabeth, widow and administratrix of Benjamin Harrison, the younger, of Charles City county, gentleman, deceased, was empowered to sell land and slaves for the payment of his debts.
