Generation No. 2

 

2.  LOUIS4 DU BOIS (CRETIEN (MARQUIS DES FIENNES)3, JACQUES LOUIS WALLERUND2, WALLERUND1) was born 21 Oct 1626 in Pasora De Calais, Artois, Wicres, France, and died 23 Jun 1696 in Esopus, Ulster County, NY.  He married CATHERINE BLANCHAN 10 Oct 1655 in Manhiem, Germany, daughter of MATTHYS BLANCHAN and MAGDALENA JORISSE.  She was born 1629 in Artois, France, and died 1713.

 

Notes for LOUIS DU BOIS:

Louis and family arrived in America in 1660 where he quick rose to prominance in local civic and religious affairs.

 

He and two of his sons are listed on among the twelve patentees of the New Paltz Patent, having received this grant from Governor Andros on September 6, 1677.

 

Louis was a member of the first court of sessions held in Kingston.  As early as the late 1600's Louis was creating an uproar in the sessions demanding that the English provide representation or they would not pay taxes to them.  Unfortunately his idea came nearly 100 years before country was actually ready for it!  For creating a disturbance in the court of sessions with his radical ideas he lost his commission.

 

Louis headed several of the expeditions in the indian wars.  During the Esopus war of 1663 Louis' wife Catherine and three of his children were taken captive.  A story has held that while in captivity [for nearly 10 weeks] the indians finally decided to kill their captives by burning them at the stake.  While tied to the stake with her baby Sarah she began to sing the 137th Psalm.  The story goes that the indians were so inthrall by  her beautiful singing that rather than light the fire they demanded that she sing more.  She sang until the rescue party arrived, surprising the indians.

 

Louis Dubois was one of the founders and the first elder of the Dutch Reformed Church at New Paltz
