AMERICAN ANCESTRY.
THE purpose of this work is, principally, to register in a convenient and simple form the pedigree of any one person, and thus record for all time many important facts in the history of families which would otherwise be lost. Another primary object is to publish here the ancestry of a person as complete as it is known, as a means of obtaining additional information regarding it. It is also designed to be a convenient work of reference, to show the origin of the various American families. However indifferent some may affect to be regarding this question of ancestry, those who have a good pedigree will usually have a natural pride for it. Many lineages must of necessity contain nothing but simple records of uneventful generations, but they will preserve facts of great interest to descendants which would otherwise in many cases be lost in the history of a family. The plan of the work is somewhat similar in idea to the well-known English works, but altered to suit the conditions of American society, and in detail is as follows:
The surname or family name is given first, with the given name, residence, birthplace, and date of birth. This is followed by remarks of a brief biographical character, giving the principal events in the individual's life, such as occupation, college degrees if any, author- ship, public service, experiences, and if married, date, wife's name and parentage, with remarks relating to her ancestry. If the individual whose lineage is given had brothers, the same facts may be stated respecting each of them, in order of their birth, commencing with the eldest. This completes the first generation in tracing back the lineage. Next is given the father's name, followed by same class of facts, and so continued back in male line as far as can be traced. The name of son, father, grandfather, etc., in direct male line are printed in black type. As the abbreviations are all of the most ordinary kind, it is unnecessary to mention them here.

Catherine Blangon or Blanshan, Oct. 10, 1655, at Mannheim in the Palatinate of the Rhine, Germany); son of Chretien, designated in the record of his son's marriage at Mannheim as the deceased Chretien du Bois, resident of Wicres, b. perhaps about 1600. Mons. C. DuBois Gregoire, U. S. Consul, says that Wicres has a population of 300, and that many farmers in the vicinity have pointed out to him the farm which the tradition of the country recognizes to have belonged to the DuBoises. The obliteration and de-
struction of all Protestant family records in France, carried into effect by order of Louis XIV, who at the time of the du Bois ex- patriation was King of France, have ren- dered it impossible for the descendants of Huguenots to trace their family records in that country beyond the time of that mon- arch; and especially so, if they were in any way allied to a noble family and in a possi- ble line of succession to the estate. Not only were their lands and goods confiscated , but their very names were erased or torn out in baptismal and genealogical registers. Accordingly, the archivists have found the records of the canton of La Bassee, and in the village of Wicres, torn or cut or other- wise mutilated where the Christian names occurred. M. DuBois Gr6goire shows that the Wicres register is mutilated at the spot of the Christian names of the eldest sons of Chretien du Bois, of whom our first American ancestor was a son. The infer- ence is unmistakable. But in the eleventh century surnames were- first assumed as distinctive marks of nobility. And all family surnames which can be traced prior to the thirteenth century are of noble origin. The name du Bois is of feudal origin and is one of the oldest if not the most ancient patronymic which has descended unchanged to this time. The authors of the " Maison Royale de France " speak of the family du Bois as "Grand Masters of the Forests of France." The records in the royal library of Paris trace lines of descent from Geoflf- roi du Bois, a Knight banneret under William the Conqueror, and Anselme and Dufourney attribute a common origin to the families of du Bois and Pierrepont, in Macquaire du Bois, Count de Roussy in mo, whose ancestor built the Castle de Roussy in 948 and added this title to his patronymic. The Castle de Roussy was situated in Artois, where, some suppose, the name du Bois to have originated, although others trace its origin to Nor- mandy. It was evidently an old name in Neustria, before the time of Rollo. All authorities on historic genealogy concur in the belief that the ancient families of this surname have a common origin. There is

reason to believe that the Chr6tien afore- said was son, or near relative of Pierre, Seigneur of Fontaines Morau, whose son Louis was lieutenant-general of the armies of the king; Pierre's father was Alitoine, king's councillor and ambassador in the Pays Bas, or Netherlands; son of Astre- moiue, a Protestant, who afterwaid re- nounced his faith, and in 1584 was restored to his nobility and was declared to be descended by ancientry or dignity of birth, from "la maison du Bois enArtois;" son of Jean, king's councillor and controller- general of the finances (m. Oct. 17, 1493, the niece of the chancellor of France); son of Jean; Seigneur de Fontaines, maitre d'hotel of Charles VIII, d. 1507. This record appears under the head of du Bois de Givri and du Bois de Leuville and is continued down to 1761. Had Chretien renounced his faith as did Astremoine, we should doubtless have had the linking kept intact with this "House of du Bois in Artois," as it is from this original stock that all collateral branches in Artois de- duce their origin; whether the original seat of the family was Artois or Normandy all ancient du Bois families who were entitled by nobiliary right to spell their name with a capital B have a common origin prior to the eleventh century. In feudal times the surname could not belong to two families without the addition of an agnomen, of which there are many exam- ples in France and Belgium.
