Individual Note

"Ireland's Huguenots and Their Refuge, 1662-1745, An Unlikely Haven" by

Raymond Hylton, 2005, Page160.

 

The Lagan River Valley in Counties Antrium, Down, and Armagh (Lisburn,

Lurgan, Lambeg, Lisnagarvey and Waringstown) -

 

"On 20 April 1707 a rampaging fire of unknown cause destroyed most

of the town's [Lisburn] buildings... Some erstwhile colonists are said to have

moved to Lurgan; others stayed to rebuild."

 

"Those which are currently reasonably verifiable include: merchants (Henry

Bringuier, Salomon Le Blanc, Loius Rochet), âecuyers (De la Cherois, Mangin,

De Berniáere), reed-makers (Marc Duprâe), cambric-workers (Goyer),

silk-weavers (Ferrier), lawyers (Guâerin), printer (Boucher), linen-workers

(Cordiner)."

...

"The Mangins were from Lorraine, Goyers from Caen in Normandy, De Berniáeres

from Alenðcon in Normandy, Genestes from Guyenne, Dupres from La Rochelle,

Bringuier, De La Valade and Balmier from Languedoc, Hautenvilles from Rhoen

in Normandy, de Blaquiáeres from Limousin, Bouchers and Gillots from Bergerac

in Gascony."

...

"Waringstown in County Down has never before been mentioned as a separate

Huguenot settlement, but there is ample evidence that such a settlement of Huguenot

craftsmen and artisans was sponsored by Samuel Waring - a family of weavers

named Duprâe was specifically noted - and worshiped with English settlers from

Cumberland, Yorkshire and Northumberland at the Anglican Church of the Holy

Trinity. Tradition has it that the Huguenots engaged primarily in damask weaving

and dwelled in cottages alongside which they planted trees in a manner reminiscent

of what they had known in France."
