NEW ROCHELLE GENESIS
Not Founded Entirely By HHgue-
aots from La Rochelle.

At the Huguenot celebration, held in New
Rochelle on last Monday, Thomas s Drake.
prominent resident of that place and Huguenot
descendant, read an interesting historical paper
which represented many years Of research on his
part regarding the early history of the city Ac-
cording to the version of the founding OF the city
given by Mr.. Drake several errors have grown
up part of local history One of these is that
New Rochelle founded entirely by Huguenots
and that they came from La Rochelle. in France
Mr.. Drake finds that while the larger body OF
Huguenots came from La Rochelle. several families
who were later prominent in the new colony came
from other parts of France. Many of them came
from England and Holland. where they had taken
refuge after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes
and with them came a sprnkling of Dutch and
English of a migratory frame of mind Inc ma
jority of the immigrants, however, were from La
Rochelle. and for this reason the new settlement
was named after the unfortunate French town
Mr.. Drake finds that the first public meeting OF
the colonists was held IN 1899 about eleven years
after the founding of the city. For more than one
hundred wears the minutes of the town meetings
were kent in French. One of the first acts OF the
settlers was to erect church. Previous 10 'he
