[Hahn-Powell-Ford.FTW] Jesse de Forest, son of Jean de Forest, was born in 1576. On Sunday,September 23, 1601, he married Marie du Cloux. After living in Sedanbiefly, Jesse moved to Montcornet in 1609, and later moved to Leyden,Holland where he made his home on the Breedestraet. Jesse served withPrince Maurice of Nassau, as a Lieutenant and Captain. In 1621, the Walloons and Huguenots of Leyden, Holland planned to followthe Puritans to America (then called the West Indies). Jesse de Forestwas acclaimed the leader and spokesman for the band when the exilesapproached the British Ambassador at The Hague regarding their settlingin Virginia. The English turned down his petition to establish a colonyin Virginia. It was Jesse's desire to establish a Colony in the NewWorld, so that the Walloons could practice their Reformed Religionwithout persecution. He then sought permission from the Dutch toestablish a colony in what is now New York City. He was grantedpermission. He assembled approximately 60 families of French SpeakingWalloons and Dutch for the settlement in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.The first permanent settlers arrived in New Amsterdam May 1624. Today,there is a Monument in Battery Park, New York City called the WalloonSettlers Memorial. That monument was given to the City of New York by thepeople of France in honor of Jesse's inspiration in founding New YorkCity. There is also a monument in Jesse's honor in Avesnes, France, theCollege Jesse de Forest and Jesse de Forest Avenue. !Headed Huguenot group to West Indes, l623. Vol. Vii, p. 545, American |
