    1. [S631] The Eno Family-New York Branch, Henry Lane Eno, (Date: 1920;).
      The first of the name of whom we have authen-
      tic record was Collard Henno, of Mons (the cap-
      ital of the ancient county of Hainault), whose
      presence at the reception of Burghers, in Valen-
      ciennes, is given in the Registry of Burghers of
      that city under the date of February 7, 1463.

      The immediate ancestor of the American
      family was, however, his great-grandson, Jacques
      Henno, who was lieutenant of the guard formed
      by the Huguenot citizens of Valenciennes to re-
      sist the Spaniards ; and who, after the capture of
      the town, fled to England, toward the end of the
      16th century.

      1 Records of Threadneedle Street church, published by
      the Huguenot Society of London ; and extracts from docu-
      ments relating to the Huguenot immigration of the 16th
      and 17th centuries in the British Museum.

      2 Jacques Hennot, late lieutenant of the military guard
      of Valenciennes, surrendered twice at Tournai, the first
      time with Guy de Bres (the celebrated Huguenot preacher.
      executed there in 1567), the second time after the death
      of the latter. He was then taken under guard toward
      Lisle, but escaped through the intervention of a band of
      Huguenot horsemen, after which escape all trace of him
      was lost by the authorities. He was pursued by order of
      Theodore Cresia, commandant of the Italian Cavalry (under
      the Duke of Alva), who gave instructions to capture the

      With him, at the time, was his son, Jean
      Henno, who afterward married Catherine Jone,
      and whose son (the grandson of Lieutenant
      Jacques Henno), Jacques 2 [or James] Henno,
      3d, emigrated to America in 1648, and settled at
      Windsor, Connecticut.

      body of Jacques Hennot wherever he might be found, prom-
      ising an honorable sum to any one who should deliver him
      dead, or a double amount if the said Hennot should be de-
      livered alive. ("Confiscations et ordonnances concernant
      les troubles survenus a la fin du VXI Siecle) — Royal
      Archives Brussels), where, also, is found the decree con-
      fiscating all the lands and goods of said Jacques Hennot,
      and branding him as an outlaw. The next trace of him
      is in the documents of the British Museum relating to the
      religious wars of Flanders. There among the names of the
      refugees is found that of Jacques Hennot, late lieutenant
      of the military guard at Valenciennes. This Jaques Hennot
      settled in an English Province; his son John, however,
      repaired to London, where we find the record in the archives
      of the Threadneedle Street church of the baptism of James
      Hennot, son of John Hennot, on August 21, 1625. This
      last-named James Hennot is inscribed in the Historical
      Record of the British Museum as having left London for
      North America in 1648. "Archives Threadneedle Street
      Church," vol. ii., 1576-1624. State papers, etc., 32091-
      S2096 (from 1086 to 1760), and especially from 1571-
      1624. British Museum MSS.

      The name is spelled variously Henne, de Henne, Hennot,
      Henno, and later, in America, Enno. It was not spelled
      Eno until about 1700.
