- The Du Bois family is one of the oldest of the noble houses of Cotentin, in the Duchy of Normandy. The heraldic records at Paris commence the genealogy with Geoffroi du Bois, a knight banneret and a companion of Duke William in the conquest of England in 1066.
- In "America Heraldica " the arms, etc., are given as follows, viz.: Arms — Argent, a lion, rampant, sable, armed and langued, gules. Crest — between two tree stumps vert, the lion of the shield. Motto — Tiens ta foy.
- In the "Du Bois Reunion," at page 38, is emblazoned another coat of arms, entitled "Original Du Bois Arms," and described as follows : "Arms d'or, a l'aigle eployé de sable onglé, becqué de gueles ;" but I have been able to find no authority for the use of these arms in connection with the family of Chrétien Du Bois.
- Chrétien Du Bois, the father of Louis and Jacques, was a Huguenot gentleman of the family of Du Bois Seigneurs de Beaufermez and de Bourse, having an estate at Wicres, in La Bassée, near Lille, in French Flanders, now Artois.
- Louis was born October 27, 1627, and the mutilated baptismal record at Wicres shows that two other sons of Chrétien Du Bois were baptized severally on June 18, 1622, and November 13, 1625. One of these was Jacques, and probably the other was named Albert.
- The baptisms of these three sons are all of the records extant of Wicres referring to the children of Chrétien, but it is certain that he had also two daughters, Francoise and Anne, for the records of the church of the Walloons, at Leyden, Holland, show that his daughter Francoise was married on April 20, 1649, to Pierre Biljouw. By this marriage she had two daughters, Marie, baptized at Leyden March 3, 1650, and Martha, also baptized at Leyden February 8, 1652. Marie came to Kingston, where she married Arendt Jansen, with the approval of her uncle Louis, whose consent is signified in the marriage contract dated June 3, 1670.
- It was undoubtedly owing to the circumstance of Chrétien's being identified with the Huguenot faith that an attempt was made to obliterate the public records of the family, and to destroy all evidences of his connection with the nobility of France.
- The religious persecutions in Artois induced Louis and Jacques to abandon their country, and Louis went to Mannheim in the Palatinate, Jacques going to Leyden, where he became a manufacturer of silks and cloth.
