About Mary Magdeline Chastain

Date and place of death have also been (erroneously?) reported to be the following:

  • 1670 in Goochland County, Virginia
  • January 28, 1684 at The Hague, (now The Hague), (now South Holland), Netherlands
  • January 28, 1685 at The Hague, (now The Hague), (now South Holland), Netherlands

After Anne died in 1723, Pierre married his third wife, Magdelaine Trabue, but they had no children. (not true: Magdelaine Trabue was the same person as Magdaleine Verrueil. She used her step father's name of "Trabue.")


Magdalene‘s father, Moise Verrueil, was a French merchant at Rouen and his wife, Magdalene Prodhomme, was born at The Hague in about 1663. Magdalene’s mother was Dutch. Her father was from the canton of Berne, Switzerland, and her grandfather was a minister of Lausanne. Moise Verrueil (1651-about 1701) was the tenth child of Jean Vereul (1606/7-about 1691) and Madeleine Du Fay of Rouen (1612-1688). They were married in 1633. Magdalene‘s mother, Magdalene Prodhomme (Prodon), was born between 1650-1660 at The Hague, daughter of Magdalene Tevening (about 1633-1721) and Nicolas Louis Prud-’Homme (1620-before 1662), who were married on 18 Sep 1653 (Walloon Church, Den Haag, Zuid) and Nicolas Louis Prud-’Homme (Prodon, 1620 Berne-before 1662) and died after 1722. She married Jacob Flournoy on 19 Dec 1703 after Moise had died. Moise and Magdalene had arrived in Virginia on the Peter and Anthony in 1700 with their five children.


Date of death has also been (erroneously?) reported to be January 1, 1730.



According to some sources, Antoine Trabue married Magdalene Verrueil in Holland in 1699, the year prior to their departure for Virginia, although documentary sources to substantiate this theory are lacking. Some previous accounts have also identified his wife as Magdalene Flournoy, daughter of Jacob Flournoy[4]. This supposition has been disproved, and it is now unacceptable to the Huguenot Society[5].
