About Françoise du Bois
Christened: 17-Jul-1622 Nord, Wicres, Artois, France
Married: 20-Apr-1649 Leyden, S.Holland, Netherland
Children: Catharine (1654), Francoise (1655), Pierre (1666), Martha (1652), Jacob (1663), Peter (1666), John (1668), Christina (1658), Maria (1650), Isaac (1661)
(Walloon is a language. The following is incorrect. We were not French speaking Walloons. We were Walloon speaking French nationals. Most Walloons can speak French as well. Most french cannot speak Walloon though. - Jason Bilyeu)
She was the daughter of Chrétien Maxmillan DuBois (1597-1655), a farmer from the village of Wicres. They were all Walloons, that is, from Wallonia, a French-speaking region which is now part of Belgium.
Pierre and Françoise were Huguénots or French Protestants (French Reformed Communion), and along with many other Huguénots, they left France in 1661, when King Louis XIV began persecuting them. On May 9, 1661, the Billiou family set sail for New Netherlands on De St. Jan Baptist, a Dutch ship under the command of Capt. Jan Bergen. At the time, Pierre and Françoise appear to have had five daughters: Marie (11), Martha (9), Françoise (7), Cathérine (6), and Chrétienne. While at sea, Françoise gave birth to their first son, Isaac. Isaac was baptized on August 6, 1661, four days after they landed at New Amsterdam.
