Biography

Wikitree: Henri Marchand ... [1]

The Mershon family first appeared in America in 1685. Family lore says that Henri Marchand arrived in New York with his thirteen year old son, Henry. Henri was probably a merchant from Caen, Normandy, France and had brought his son to New York to escape the terrible Huguenot Wars taking place in France. Family lore, continuing, says that Henri left his son with friends or relatives in Newtown, New York and returned to France to bring the rest of his family to America. Henri was never heard of again.

Some written accounts state that Henri arrived in New York with his wife and family, including his son, Henry. If the written accounts are correct, Henri, and his family, remained in America. Whatever the actual fact are, we know almost nothing about Henri Marchand. However, we do know a great deal about his son Henry.

The 1698 town census of Newtown, New York lists "Henry Marshan" as the head of household with two persons living with him. We can only suppose that this was his wife, Ann, and his first child, Henry III. We know very little about his wife, Ann, as we can only find her mentioned in Henry's will of 1738 and two land deeds prior to that date that deeded land to their sons.

About 1700, Henry Marshan moved his family from New York to Hunterdon (now Mercer) County, New Jersey, near the present town of Lawrenceville. He is recorded as a land owner there as early as 1702. It was here, that Henry II, and his wife Ann, raised their family of five sons and five daughters. Wife Ann, and all ten children are named in Henry's will of July 19, 1738. Henry died on September 20, 1738, and is buried in the Cemetery on the Hill near Lawrenceville.[2]

HENRI MARCHAND Caen
1685
Newtown, Long Island, New York
DEATH: Believed to have died at sea on his way back to France to get his family in 1685.
BIOGRAPHY: There lived in the vicinity of Caen, France, Henri Marchand, his wife, eldest son Henri (later Anglicized to Henry) and other children. There is reason to believe that they were people of education and high estate and because of this, the more reason they had to flee for their safety. The father decided to bring his eldest son, age 13, to America where so many other co-religionists had found safety.The son, Henri, decided on settling in New York where the Dutch, English and French Huguenots were so well settled. The year 1685 found father and son on American soil. The father returned to bring the rest of the family to America, but his venture was unsuccessful as nothing was heard of him again. Henri, the son, was a weaver by trade and grew up in Newtown, Long Island, New York. He married there before 1698.
