      <description>Hi attached are a couple pages of a translation of my great grandfather’s diary which was written in French.  When we found the diary it shed new light on our family history.  He and his parents lived in Kansas before heading west.  The story is a great read! I have attached a couple pages since this site does not accept PDF's.  If after reading you think we are related email me and I will send you the whole story!  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="mailto://remy@well.com"&gt;remy@well.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Danica</description>

      <description>The Remy book contains hundreds of errors with a common error being the assignment of a child to the wrong parents.  Little in the book should be believed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The family of William Charles Remy appears in my files, and I freely exchange information.

      <description>I have the book "The Remy Family in America." It is a great source of information. It also does have errors but with all the information I would be more surprised if it didn't have someone in the wrong place. The line I'm researching is one of those areas of error. A marriage certificate from 1858 shows William Charles Remy is not the son of William R. Remy Jr. as the book shows. With resources included in the book I have sources to contact to further my efforts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Marriage certificate (2nd marriage) states the parent of William Charles Remy is John and Mary Remy. He was born in Paintsville Ky 1815. About 1837 he married Piety Adkins in Ky, then Mary Jane Guyer in Wisconsin. He fathered 8 children with Piety and another 4 lived to be adults from Mary Jane. He moved from Kentucky to Beetown Wisconsin to Monroe co Iowa where he died. </description>

      <description>With just a few minutes and a little work, I found more than enough references to Busancy and the like to come to the opposite conclusion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The following was found at:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/wells789/theremyfamily.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.geocities.com/wells789/theremyfamily.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--------------------------------&lt;br&gt;Busancy:&lt;br&gt;A reference to Buscancy was found in the Encyclopedia:&lt;br&gt;does not bear on the Remy genealogy but it does substantiate that a place existed.&lt;br&gt;(quote from dictionary) GRASSIN (Pierre), viscount of Busancy, to recommend to the Parliament of Paris, founded in 1569 in Paris the secondary school said about Grassins, in favour of the poor schoolchildren of the city of Sense; this secondary school was located street des Amandiers, on the mountain Ste-Geneviève. Since 1789, it became a particular ownership.. Wikipedia dictionary project.&lt;br&gt;another reference to Busancy:&lt;br&gt;In the same year when the savans first of France condemned mesmerism in Paris, a young officer, Mr Chastenet de Puységur, made a discovery which absolutely had to transform the doctrine of the German doctor, and begin a very new epoch for animal magnetism. This discovery was that of artificial somnambulism, or clear sleep. It was a young peasant of his earth of Busancy, near Soissons, named Victor, which gave him the first example of this peculiar state.&lt;br&gt;The discovery of magnetic somnambulism goes back up to the marquis of Puységur, raises live broadcasting of Mesmer. Puységur discovered this state incidentally. It was on May 4th, 1784. Puységur, withdrawn in the earth of Busancy " (Aisne), treated on the sick. He was called at a called peasant's Victor, attained by a swelling of chest and been confined to bed for 4 days. Puységur has made passes for some minutes in front of his sick man when this one closed eyes and continued answering the questions of his magnetic healer.&lt;br&gt;so even though busancy doesnt seem to be on the maps today it was a place in France.&lt;br&gt;Here it states Busancy (Aisne)&lt;br&gt;Aisne:&lt;br&gt;Aisne is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from parts of the former provinces of Île-de-France, Picardie, and Champagne.&lt;br&gt;Most of the old-growth forests in the area were destroyed during battles in World War I. The French offensive against the Chemin des Dames in spring 1917 is sometimes referred to as the Second Battle of the Aisne. &lt;br&gt;Geography Aisne borders the Ardennes Forest and Belgium to the northeast. The Aisne River crosses the area from east to west, where it joins the Oise River. The landscape is dominated by masses of rock which often have steep flanks. These rocks appear all over the region, but the most impressive examples are at Laon and the Chemin des Dames ridge.-------------------------------&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here's a link to a page with info on Buzancy, Alsace, France:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.fallingrain.com/world/FR/0/Buzancy2.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.fallingrain.com/world/FR/0/Buzancy2.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Try clicking on "Google links for Buzancy" on that page to see what else there is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It seems to me there are some who like to disparage. There certainly are holes in history. That is a side effect of death I suppose. Just because something is on the internet doesn't make it so and the reverse is just as applicable. Please do your research. Whether Busancy existed or not has no bearing on the overall story of Jacob Remy, does it? </description>

      <description>I agree that the Remy Family Book in America has errors, although it also has some very helpful information in it.  I'm amazed at how much information, and how many sources, Dr. Rhamy lists, considering that he published the book in 1942, when you couldn't just log on to Ancestry.com and find a wealth of information.  I've never heard the story of how he complied the information in his book, but he must have put some miles on visiting county courthouses.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The line of the family that I'm researching is only covered in the book until the mid 1750s (Jeremiah Rhame, s/o John Remy I, s/o William Bryon Remy, Sr, s/o Jacob/Jacques), then no information on future family members.  Fourtunatly for me the marjority of that family line has stayed in South Carolina (under the surname Rhame).  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have you tried to track down the sources that Dr. Rhamy lists in the book for Rev. James I Reamy?  That's all I can think of to help you verify information on James.  If Dr. Rhamy's sources don't check out then I guess you're back to square one.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>Well, lets not use the Remy Family in America book (Bonnelle Rhamey) because it is so full of errors.  Surely there are other documents/books that we can glean from.  I think part of the brick-wall syndrome we're experiencing with Rev. James I Reamy is the Bonnelle Rhamey book... it seems it has been taken as gospel and therefore no further investigation need take place --- this is just not open-minded enough.  We need to get over that book (as gospel), take it with a grain of salt (as in any other source) and ferret out other sources for comparison.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Any takers?</description>

      <description>I'm back in the research game, and wanted to share a note I was given by a cousin I visited two years ago.  This was written by her mother... I don't know all her sources, but she was the grand-daughter of James I. Remy (according to Rick Ramey the alleged son of Rev. James I. Reamy).  I hope that by sharing this it may spark something in you other researchers and maybe we can solve the mysteries surrounding Rev. James I. Reamy.  Laura Remy Miller&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By Louise Kelly Remy (date unknown)&lt;br&gt;GREAT GRAND FATHER REMY - REV. JAMES I REAMY&lt;br&gt;Was born 1770 in Westmoreland Co, Virginia.  He died in 1840&lt;br&gt;He married 1st to Lucretia Bainton Carter (John Neal Security).  She was born about 1775 and was a grand daughter of Robert (King) Carter (Grandfather of Robert Carter the Councilor)&lt;br&gt;Rev. James I Reamy was speaker of the House of Burgesses, 6 years.  And Treasurer under Most Serene Prince William, John, George I and George II.  And Governor of the Colony over a year.  And Rector of William and Mary College.  Source:  Epitaph (in latin) on his tombstone, Christ Church Parish Meades.  "Old Churches and Families in Virginia" vol 2, page 122.&lt;br&gt;He married 2nd time 23rd Dec 1817 (John Neal Security)&lt;br&gt;He married 3rd Sarah Calawn Oct 20, 1836, in King George Co. VA.  Her mother was a Mrs. Holliday.&lt;br&gt;Sarah Calawn had married 1st, Mr. Hudson, by whom she had several children.  She married 2nd, Mr. Owens, and had 6 children, one of whom was Jane Owens, who married Rev. Robert M. Reamy, a son of her 4th husband Rev. James I Reamy.&lt;br&gt;She married 3rd, Mr. Hutt, and married 4th the widower Rev. James I Reamy, when she was 50 years old.  She died in 1883 at the age of 97.&lt;br&gt;He had 4 sons:&lt;br&gt;James I Remy born 1770 lived in KY&lt;br&gt;William Benjamin born 1796 lived in VA&lt;br&gt;Henry born 1810 lived in Iowa&lt;br&gt;Jacob born 1814 lived in Iowa&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I found a posting on elijah.org that had similar but additional information on Rev. James I Reamy, his wives and their numerous children.  Still waiting to hear back from her on her  sources.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Can anyone confirm any of the above?  I'd sure like to get some breakthroughs on this guy!!  Laura&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Thoughts on the Remy Coats of Arms</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.remy/103/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I know all of us who find a tie in to Remy families of Europe want to see “our coat of arms”, but frankly, very few people will be able to trace their ancestry to one of the French ennobled Remy’s.  If you do, it seems, according to French law, you are free to use that Coat of Arms.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In France, Coats of arms are unregulated by the authorities: anyone is free to assume arms, and there is no mechanism by which arms can be officially granted or registered. However, coats of arms are considered part of the family name, and enjoy the same legal protection against usurpation. (In England, the use of Coats of Arms is very strictly regulated, and there is no such thing as a 'coat of arms for a surname'. Many people of the same surname will often be entitled to completely different coats of arms, and many of that surname will be entitled to no coat of arms. Coats of arms belong to individuals. For any person to have a right to a coat of arms they must either have had it granted to them or be descended in the legitimate male line from a person to whom arms were granted or confirmed in the past.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is an organization in France that provides registration services for coats of arms. It is a private organization called the Conseil Français d'Héraldique. The following information comes from their website: (excuse any weirdness caused by the translation from French to English)&lt;br&gt;Who can carry armorial bearings? &lt;br&gt;Can carry armorial bearings: &lt;br&gt;- all the French, men, women and children, married or unmarried, laic or religious, noble or commoners, subject to not usurping those of others. If two families carry same weapons, it is that which can show the oldest possession which can preserve them, according to the proverb of the old habit: “Which first takes them are his”.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Actually, as of the Average Age, of the French and foreign families often had the same ecus without these fruits of the chance generating judicial actions. The rare lawsuits on the matter were engaged against individuals who had publicly dishonored weapons identical to those of the plaintiffs or who had adapted famous ecus wrongly belonging since centuries to great families with an obvious aim of fraud, &lt;br&gt;- all territorial units: communities of states, states, provinces, departments, overseas territories, communes, districts urban, inter-commune trade unions, etc, &lt;br&gt;- all sports associations, cultural, philanthropic, caritative, ludic, genealogical and different, &lt;br&gt;- all political parties, clubs and trade unions. &lt;br&gt;- all commercial companies, &lt;br&gt;- all military units, &lt;br&gt;- universities, faculties, colleges, colleges, public or deprived elementary schools, &lt;br&gt;- abbeys, convents, religious congregations, brotherhoods and all ecclesiastics whatever their hierarchical row within the church, &lt;br&gt;- large trades and administrations… &lt;br&gt;N.B.: &lt;br&gt;This list is given only as example and is by no means restrictive. &lt;br&gt;What the Civil code says &lt;br&gt;As regards the armorial bearings carried by private individuals, the French Civil code recognizes that they are related to the person as well as the patronymic and that they constitute a private property protected by the legislation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jurisprudence as regards heraldic is poor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, a judgment given in 1949 precise that the weapons are “marks of recognition, accessories in the name of family, to which they are attached in an insoluble way that this family is or not of noble origin”. &lt;br&gt;Which armorial bearings can one carry? &lt;br&gt;Obviously provided to avoid the national emblems (Tricolor, beams of gold lictor in field of azure, official badges of the French Republic, Monarchy and the Empire), each one in our country is free to adopt the armorial bearings of its choice if they are not already carried by other families.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That these weapons are old or of recent creation, that they were the subject or not of a recording or a publication, their port is legal in condition however that their owners are the authors or that they inherited it by the agnatic line (except for some families known as that of Jeanne d' Arc which, by privilege of the sovereign, can transmit their armorial bearings by the women). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The new weapons of the private individuals obey the same laws of transmissibility as the old ones. To be authorized to raise the weapons of an extinct female branch, it is necessary to be downward the most direct for it and only, unless having obtained the desistance from all the other heirs. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The armorial bearings being related to the names, it appears desirable to be able to jointly raise the ones and the others. Moreover, of the weapons speaking carried by the owner about another patronymic would lose all their significance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The women generally carried ecus in rhombus, without cimier nor crown, but this use is lost and the carrying ones new armorial bearings seem more to be concerned with this distinction. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the event of plenary adoption involving the transmission of the surname and the totality of the civil laws attached to the genetic children (law of July 11, 1966), it is logical that the armorial bearings are included in these patrimonial goods from which the transmission does not suffer any exception. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It goes from there differently in the event of simple adoption, without transmission of the patronymic; in this case and a fortiori if adopting it is the last male of its family, this one can bequeath its weapons by taking care to clearly express it in its last wills, such a transmission not being automatic. The not recognized natural children and the hybrid children cannot carry the armorial bearings of their fathers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The legitimate children can adopt weapons different from those of their ascending, just as an individual is always free to modify his armorial bearings throughout his existence (right whose the knights did not deprive themselves of the Average Age), according to the evolution of his personality and as well as a signature nothing immutable has. The creators of contemporary ecus could not more claim to impose their drawing on all their collateral. The armorial bearings symbolize initially a character as shows it for example Armorial Général of Charles d' Hozier where one usually sees brothers carrying different weapons (and not only broken). Free with the descendants to take again these creations and to include them in the genetic inheritance, like the medieval men of war who often had a pride to carry the ecus of their aïeux. The law opens a possibility here, but does not create an obligation. &lt;br&gt;Quid of the external ornaments, the crowns and the cimiers? &lt;br&gt;Each one is free to carry the supports, the currencies and the sentences of its choice.&lt;br&gt;For the cimiers, the use would like that the heaumes (helmets) (closed or opened, of face or profile, etc) are reserved for the nobility, but this “rule” is briskly transgressed since centuries. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When with the crowns, the examples are numerous where simple commoners used them, who it is by vanity or simple aesthetic concern. In 1779, Honore-Gabriel de Riqueti, count de Mirabeau, wrote with his young mistress Sophie de Ruffey, woman of the old marquis de Monnier: “People of quality take a whole a crown of duke, because there is prosecutor who does not carry that of count or marquis”. This abusive use however went against a judgment delivered by the Parliament of Paris on August 13, 1663 interdissant “to all ground owners to qualify barons, counts, marquis, and to take of it the crown with their weapons, if not under the terms of letter-licences checked well and duement in the court…” (Chérin, chronological Abrégé of edicts…, p. 138). Only the imperial and royal crowns were never usurped. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the XXe century, at most can one highly advise with the creators of new armorial bearings not to allot crowns which would not be justified by a former and proven practice or corresponding titles of nobility, under penalty of sinking in the ridiculous one. Moreover, the French Council of Heraldic would be seen in the obligation to refuse the publication of these ecus stamped in order not to encourage claims peerage-books.&lt;br&gt;On the other hand, the handing-over with the honor of the cimiers and the supports which supplement a heraldic composition so harmoniously can only be encouraged.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One can with the need to replace the crowns and the heaumes (helmets) by cimiers more adapted to our time (full-face helmets American motorcyclists, latticed helmets of the hockey and footballers, futuristic helmets of the spationauts (astronauts?), berets of the légionaries or parachutists, owners of the one and others being direct heirs to the jousters and the combatants of the Average Age).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now, which members of the Remy line had a Coat of Arms and descendants that might have come to America?  There are 19 know Remy Coats of Arms, most of which probably have no tie to America. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1.	Nicolas de la Ramee, who was a Huguenot assassinated on 24 Aug 1572 had a Coat of Arms.  It was a silver St. Andrews Cross on a blue field.  In each diagonal corner was a gold pigeon.  I’ve seen this Coat of Arms used in reference to the descendants of Jacques/Jacob Remy.&lt;br&gt;2.	Didler Remy from the Lorraine region of France, and his descendants used a Coat of Arms that had a gold field (background), with a red bar running across the center horizontally, and 2 black pigeons above the bar and one below it. Didler was ennobled in 1560.&lt;br&gt;3.	Jacques Remy of Ivoy, Lorraine died in 1568.  His sons, Johannes, Matthew, Jacques and Pierre were Huguenots and had to flee for their lives.  It is his grandson Jacques (son of Pierre) that was indentured to Nicholas Spencer and came to Virginia in 1654.  His Uncle Jacques went to Greenhausen on the Rhine (Germany?).  He registered a Coat of Arms in Rotterdam.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you have any information or thoughts on this subject let me know.</description>

      <title>The Remy lines that came to America</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.remy/102/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>For those wondering if their line is covered in the book “The Remy Family in America”, here are the lines covered:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1.	Jacob Remy (Remy, Reamy, Rhemy, Remey, Rhamey, Rhame, Rhames) was a French Huguenot refugee who came to Virginia in 1654 as the indentured servant of Nicholas Spencer.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2.	Abraham Remy, another French Huguenot refugee, came on the ship Peter and Anthony to Virginia, landing at Jamestown Feb 1st, 1700.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3.	Jacob Remy (Rahm, Ram, Riehm, Ramey, Remy) came from Germany, by way of Englad, to Pennsylvania, on the ship Virtuous Grace, landing 24 Sep 1737. He was from Alsace Lorraine, France.  He settled in Berks County Pennsylvania.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;4.	Frances Remy (Reamy), son of Jacob (#4) cam from Alace Lorraine to Pennsylvania in 1788.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;5.	Konrad Reeme (Conrad Remy, Reamy, Ramey) came from Germany via England on the ship Europa, 20 Nov 1741.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;6.	Melchoir Rhime, brother of Conrad (#5) (Remy, Rahm, Ramey) came from Germany on the ship Fane, 17 Oct 1749 to Pennsylvania.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;7.	Abraham Adam Reene (Remy, Rehm, Rahm, Reamy), another brother of Conrad (#5) came from Germany to Pennsylvania in 1740.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;8.	John Oliver Remy (Ramey), a French Huguenot refugee, fled to Holland and then to Nova Scotia about 1773.  He was in New York in 1800.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;9.	John Remy (Remmey) came from France, via England, to New York in 1760.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;10.	Nicholas Joseph Remy (Ramey), a soldier of Napoleon, escaped from a prison ship of Robespierre’s Commune and landed in Boston in 1812.  His home was Lyons, France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;11.	Anton Rehm (Remy) came from Innsbruck, Austria, to New York in 1816.  He knew his name was spelled wrong on his immigration paperwork and had it changed by legal action to Rhame (still wrong).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;12.	Johann Peter Remy and Gustave came from Germany to Pennsylvania in 1882.  Sons of Johann Peter were Professors at Columbia University, NYC.  &lt;br&gt;</description>

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.remy/96/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I have been tracing the Raines family but have hit a brick wall but I did find a William Remy fron VA who's children have the last name of Raines.  Does anyone have any info on this individual or that can shed an light on the connection?  If this connection is valid, a son William Raines established a family line in Indiana, and a daughter, Sarah, married into the Plew Family.  I have complete documentation if anyone is interested.  Good luck to us all and Happy New Year.</description>

      <title>Michael REMY Biography, LUX&amp;lt;WI</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.remy/98/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>From "History of Grant County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 969 - 970.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;TOWN OF MUSCODA&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;MICHAEL REMY, farmer; P. O. Muscoda; born in Luxemburg, April 15, 1817, where he was educated and learned the trade of stone-cutter and mason; is a son of Peter and Anna Remy, both natives of Luxemburg. His father carried on the cooper, grocery and saloon business. Michael came to this State, and located at Mineral Point in 1852, where he worked at his trade of stone-cutting and mason until 1857, when he bought 300 acres of land in Sec. 30, town of Muscoda, which has been his home ever since. Feb. 2, 1862, he enlisted in Co. I, 19th W. V. I., Capt. Rawley, of Oshkosh, commanding the company. They joined the 9th Corps, commanded by Gens. Butler and Gady; served until the close of the war, and mustered out with the regiment. His health became impaired by exposure and hardships. He was married, Aug. 14, 1841, to Katrina Herbert, also a native of Luxemburg, by whom he has had eight children - one son and five daughters - two of the girls deceased.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[I am not related to this family.  I'm posting this as a service and hope it helps!]</description>

      <title>Re: Pierre Remy - Family Crest-White Dragon</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.remy/54.2.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>While this is a picture, it is not that of a crest. It is that of a shield, and no crest appears. The text includes a description of the crest. Otherwise, I won't make comment on the armorial bearings.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, I would like to comment on the text itself:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is mostly fiction. Anyone with RAMEY/REMY ancestry in early America would do best to ignore it all, and instead try to find his/her REAL ancestors, rather than these legendary ones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And how do I know it is fiction? It mentions the "Marchioness of Busancy". This is a fictitious person, and that's why nobody has the ability to give the person an actual name...you know, like Elizabeth or whatnot.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Moreover, the PLACE doesn't even exist. Try to find "Busancy" on ANY map of any era. It just doesn't exist - never has, and never will (probably). That's why a google search for "Busancy" will only bring up 2 kinds of results:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. More RAMEY genealogy fantasy.&lt;br&gt;2. List of words with all possible combinations of letters.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please save yourself some time, and also don't lead others astray with this nonsense.</description>

      <title>Re: Remy to Rhame, France to the Carolinas - Part I</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.remy/99.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>There is much UNDOCUMENTED content on the internet (and in various Remy family histories) that claims the Remy’s were a noble family from the Lorraine region of France. Due to the unreliability and lack of documentation on the Remy family in France, we’ll begin our family history with the first Remy ancestor in America that there is documentation on.  This ancestor is one Jacques Remy, who ‘Americanized’ his given name to Jacob. Jacques was a Huguenot who fled persecution in France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For those unfamiliar with the French Huguenots, they were Protestants who were members of the Reformed Church.  France was dominated by the Roman Catholic faith and the Huguenots were persecuted as “heretics” as early as 1500.  The persecution intensified under the reign of King Louis XIV, who began the policy of “one faith, one law, one king” about 1685. Protestant churches and the houses of "obstinates" were burned and destroyed, and their bibles and hymn books burned. Emigration was declared illegal. Many Huguenots were burned at the stake.  Thousands Huguenots who did not find their death in local prisons or execution on the wheel of torture, were shipped to sea to serve their sentences as galley slaves, either on French galley ships, or sold to Turkey as galley slaves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At least 250,000 French Huguenots fled to countries such as Switzerland, Germany, England, America, the Netherlands, Poland and South Africa, where they could enjoy religious freedom. Between 1618 and 1725 between 5000 and 7000 Huguenots reached the shores of America. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many Huguenots had the cost of their transportation to America paid by the Relief Committee in London England. The English did not help the Huguenots out of the kindness of their hearts.  The British Government saw the opportunity to acquire settlers for the largely vacant land of the colonies, with the consequent development, enrichment and strengthening of the colonies.  Another means of gaining paid passage to America was by becoming an indentured servant.  Many farmers and plantation owners in early America desperately needed laborers for their fields and often contracted indentured labor through London agents.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jacques/Jacob Remy was married to Francoise Haldat while still living in France.  Around 1654, when Jacques was about 24 years old, he and Francois fled to his cousin Pierre's home in Germany and then on to England, where they sought passage to America.    The story goes that they had left all their possessions in France and could not afford passage to America, so they indentured themselves to gain passage to America.  Unless the indenture document is found, it can only be assumed that Jacques and Francois were bonded for a period of five or seven years.  The length of the term for indentures was either specifically stated in the contract or it was fixed by the custom of the colony-if the servant was under nineteen years of age, his term lasted until he was twenty-four; if he was over, it lasted for five years. The length of service rarely exceeded seven, as it was contrary to public policy that it should continue too long.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Jacques/Jacob was bonded to a well known Virginia plantation owner, Nicholas Spencer, Esq., the Secretary of the Colony of Virginia under King Charles II.  Francois was bonded to John Brayton (or Drayton) [1].  They sailed for America on separate ships and it is believed that Francois did not survive the journey.  Jacques/Jacob arrived in Virginia in 1654, and would have served his indenture from 1654 until about 1661.  After completing his indenture he worked for others and saved up money to purchase his own land.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In about 1671 Jacques, now called Jacob, marries for a second time.  His second wife was Mary. There are various surnames attributed to her, including Miles, Marmaduke and Spencer.   She may have been a relative of the Spencer family [8], whom Jacob served his indenture under, or she could be the daughter of Miles Marmaduke based on the fact that Jacob is named as a trustee in the will of Miles Marmaduke [2].  It was also in 1671 that Jacob became a land owner, being deeded 200 acres of land in the Nominee Forest (the wooded land adjacent to the Nomini River and its branches) [3]. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Within a year Jacob and Mary celebrate the birth of their first son, William Remy.  A few years later their second son,  Jacob, Jr., is born.  Jacob and Mary live to see both sons married and on their own.  In 1680 Jacob becomes a British citizen when he takes the Oath of Allegiance.  There are various mentions of Jacob and Mary in county records [5] [6] and his will was probated on December 5th, 1721 [7]. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As you can see from the surnames used in the sources below, the Remy surname was spelled several ways even during the lifetime of Jacob, Sr.  We see Reamy, Ramey, and Ramy used just during his lifetime.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;==================SOURCES====================&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[1] Source:  *Original Lists of Emigrants, Vol.1 (1600 to 1637) (Vol.2 1662 to 1700) by John C.

      <title>Remy to Rhame, France to the Carolinas</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.remy/99/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>A friend and I are working on the Rhame family history.  The Rhame line decends from the Remy line that came to America from France.  As we progress in our research I'll be posting sections of our research under this thread.  Comments are welcome, but please reference some documentation when possible.  Be aware that the Remy Family Book has numerous errors in it on the older parts of the family and I do not consider it a valid reference in and of itself.  When the book references records, such as wills, land purchases, etc, that are on file at various locations in the US, I do find that valid.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bonnie</description>

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.remy/93.1.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Laura - Thanks for responding. I don't know if Perry was Frank (Francois) Remy's brother or not. The Frank I am looking at was born 8/1858 in Belgium and married to Theresa (Lewis?) also born in Belgium. From the 1900 census in Colerain Twp in Belmont Co., OH, they immigrated to Canada between 1888 and 1900, then to the Ohio valley in 1900. Their oldest son, Emile James must have stayed in Canada until about 1904, then moved to be near the family in Ohio, and eventually moved to Oregon in 1911. Does that help? Sherry</description>
