Case 5 contains a number of relics of the Bernon family. Among these, the most notable are a delft jar, and a gold rattle, brought over from France by Gabriel Bernon, a Huguenot refugee. He came to Newport in 1697 and later lived in Providence. A photograph of his sword and a painting of these objects hang upon the wall at the side of a sampler, worked by some member of his family. A bag, a napkin, a piece of embroidered silk, and a fragment of a coarser cloth, used in the Bernon family, are also displayed.

Shelf 3 holds a pewter platter inscribed as follows: "M T This platter a part of the wedding outfit of Marie Bernon, daughter of Gabriel Bernon, and wife of Abraham Tourtilotte. Huguenot exiles, was given by her to her daughter Lydia Knowlton, nee Tourtilotte and by her to her granddaughter Lydia Knowlton Waterman, nee Westcott."

* Marie was born in February 1666/67 in Bordeaux, Gironde, France and then traveled with her father, Bernon, Sr. to Roxbury, then

• to Newport, Rhode Island, then to Gloucester.  
• The birth years listed would make her mother only 11 or 12 at the time.  Not likely an accurate date.
