So this weekend I discovered that there was a French Huguenot by the name of Pierre Fougère (aka Faugère). He was at Frenchtown (RI), a Huguenot settlement active from 1686-1691. He married Anne Jaulin/Jolin there in May 1688; their son Pierre was baptized there the following March. A daughter, Isabeau, followed in 1691, and was baptised in the Huguenot church in NYC in 1694 (image).
Baptism - Today, Sunday (the) third of April, 1694 after the morning activities, baptized in this church by Monsieur Perret minister, Isabeau, daughter of Pierre Fougere and of Anne Jaulin, born 28 March 1691; presented for baptism by Etienne Lavigne and Elisabeth Pinet, godfather and godmother, who have declared not to know how to sign. - Peiret, minister.
I've sent an inquiry off to The Huguenot Society of America. Pierre does not appear in their list of ancestors, so I don't know if either child survived. Hoping to secure additional detail about this family!
