200 – Jeremie Dumas (200) of Saint Fort de Cona, Saintonge, France married Susanne Faure (201)

Children:

300 – Jean Dumas, probably born about 1671 at Saint Fort in Saintonge, France. He was married Jan.24, 1691 at the chruch of La Patente de Soho (London) to Marguerite (Marie) de Gentillot (301), daughter of Jean Gentillot and Marguerite (Marie) Faure of St. Foy in Guienne, France.

302 – Jerome (Jeremiah) Dumas (302), born about 1681 at St. Fort in Saintonge, France. In 1700 he came to Virginia with the Huguenot group that settled near Manakintown, Virginia. He married about 1701 to Unity Smith (303) of New Kent County, Virginia.

304 – Jeremie Dumas

Notes:

1. No evidence has yet been found that Jeremie Dumas and his wife, Susanne Faure, ever went to England. Their son, Jean, apparently arrived in England before 1681 and Jerome may have gone with him or they may have gone later with the Faures. The passenger list of the ship "Mary and Ann" shows a Jean Farry (probably Faure) travelling with Jerome (Jeremiah). There is also mentioned in the passenger list "the widow Faure and 4 infants."
2. Jean Dumas and his brother Jeremie of St. Fort, France were in Frankfort Germany in Sept. 1687 and had been in Lausoane Switzerland in Aug. 1687.
3. Check was made of the records in St. Fort Sur Gironde without finding any reference to Jeremie Dumas or Jerome Dumas. There is a suggestion in "The Huguenots" that the Dumas came from Rousillon.
4. The House of Grasse had some marriages with Dumas. There was a Jerome Dumas listed on one chart but not the one for which we are searching.
5. We can assume that Jerome and Jean Dumas probably had many sisters and brothers if Jeremie and Susanne had the average sized French family of that period.
