Judith Enrion

Other Events:

• Reference Number: 18220

Notes:

Birth
Judith (Unknown) was born about 1652 (based on 1st known child born abt 1674), most-likely in Brittany, France.[1]

Surname
Judith's name was listed as "Judic Enrion" in the baptismal record for her son Pierre, christened 30 April, 1682 at the Threadneedle Huguenot Church in London.[2]

Marriage & Children
She married Jan/Jean Le Faucheur abt 1673 (based on birth of 1st known child) in France. The surname Le Faucheur [means "the Reaper" or "the Mower" as in harvesting wheat] still exists in France and is primarily found in Brittany (Cotes du Nord departement). The couple had 2 known sons,

Jean (Le Faucheur) Fauce (abt.1674-bef.1732)
Pierre Le Faucheur (1683-abt. 1751)[3][4]

Burial
There is a record of the French Church du Saint Esprit, New York City, that the funeral expenses, £1.1.9, for Judith Le Faucheur were paid 12 Nov 1694.[5] This means that Judith and her children were French Reformed Protestants, otherwise known as "Huguenots," who had to flee France after Roman Catholic King Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes that guaranteed Protestants religious tolerance. [1] Judith Le Faucheur can be assumed to be for the mother of Jan (AKA Jean) and Pieter (AKA Pierre) Le Faucheur. Others say Judith Le Faucheur arrived in New York City with her 2 sons (no husband mentioned) from France around 1695; if this is true, then they most-likely arrived in 1694 and she died soon after their arrival.
