Historic Name
This marriage marks the union
Of the two old and well-knOwn
American families. The DuPuys
appeared first in history at the
time OF the crusades, when
Hughes DuPuy and his four SONS
followed Godfrey de Bouillon to
the Holy Land. There Raymond
DuPuy, one of the sons, fought
for so years in defense Of the
holy places. He became grand
master OF the knights Hospital
ers, from which grow the Knights
Templars, whose shoulder crosses
gavO the Crusaders their name.
Descendants of the four sons Of
Hughes DuPuy fought through
the wars OF the Middle Ages and,
with the family penchant for re.
ligious zeal, became leaders Of
the Huguenot uprisings. As a
result OF the consequent persecu.
tions, some lost their heads and
Bartholomew DuPuy, an officer
Of the guard OF Louis XIV, fled
the country and planted the
American line on the James River
in Virginia.

New England Puritan line that

fame in politics. Nelson Dingley,
