Huguenot (Puritan) [3] |
- December 8, 2015;
A Huguenot (/'hju?g?n?t/ or /hu?g?'no?/; French: [ygno], [yg?no]) is a member of a French Protestant denomination with origins in the 16th or 17th centuries. Historically, Huguenots were French Protestants inspired by the writings of John Calvin (Jean Calvin in French) in the 1530s, who became known by that originally derisive designation by the end of the 16th century. The majority of Huguenots endorsed the Reformed tradition of Protestantism.
Huguenot numbers peaked near an estimated two million by 1562, concentrated mainly in the southern and central parts of France, about one-eighth the number of French Catholics. As Huguenots gained influence and more openly displayed their faith, Catholic hostility grew, in spite of increasingly liberal political concessions and edicts of toleration from the French crown. A series of religious conflicts followed, known as the Wars of Religion, fought intermittently from 1562 to 1598. The wars finally ended with the granting of the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial religious, political and military autonomy.
Renewed religious warfare in the 1620s caused the political and military privileges of the Huguenots to be abolished following their defeat. They retained the religious provisions of the Edict of Nantes until the rule of Louis XIV, who progressively increased persecution of them until he issued the Edict of Fontainebleau (1685), which abolished all legal recognition of Protestantism in France, and forced the Huguenots to convert. While nearly three-quarters eventually were killed [1] or submitted, roughly 500,000 Huguenots had fled France by the early 18th century[citation needed].
The bulk of Huguenot âemigrâes relocated to Protestant European nations such as England, Wales, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the Dutch Republic, the Electorate of Brandenburg and Electorate of the Palatinate in the Holy Roman Empire, the Duchy of Prussia, the Channel Islands, and Ireland. They also spread beyond the Old World to the Dutch Cape Colony in South Africa, the Dutch East Indies, the Caribbean, and several of the English colonies of North America, where they were accepted and allowed to worship freely.

Biography
James Thelaball was born in 1625 in France. He was a Huguenot and immigrated into the Colonies as early as 1637. He imported Alex Massie that year. [1] James Thelaball married Elizabeth Mason by 1648. On Nov. 7, 1648 an agreement was recorded between his mother-in-law Alice Mason, widow of Francis Mason, and his brother-in-law Lemuel Mason on the one part, and James Thelaball on the other part, "to give upon demand to Thelaball lands called the Mayne Right against Hogg Island along with other considerations."[2] This land was part of a 1250 acres patent at "Hogpen Point", issued to Lieutenant Francis Mason on Aug. 31, 1642. This property, "which lyeth on the south west side of the Creeke," was located near the land of Captain Thomas Willoughby. [3]
James Thelaball lived in Lynnhaven Parish, Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, by 1651 where he patented 380 acres, "adjoining to a place called Woolfs Neck, Beg. g at Henry Hawkins’ easterly marked tree." [4] He also imported 19 persons that year. He was spoken of at the time as "a rich and prominent French emigrant." He was church warden of Lower Norfolk County in 1659 and 1660.[5]
On April 13, 1667, James Thelaball's brother-in-law Lemuel Mason and his wife Ann conveyed 600 acres in Hogpen Neck to James Thelaball, "for the natural love and affection I bear unto Elizabeth Thelaball, my beloved sister and wife to Mr. James Thelaball."[6]
James Thelaball took the oath of allegiance in Virginia and was naturalized on November 28, 1683.[7] "Free denizen." On Oct. 18, 1690, he entered a deed of settlement with his son Francis Thelaball who was "willing to leave his plantation whereon he was well seated to coehabitt with them for their better support in the old age."[8]
His will is dated April 3, 1692, written in Elizabeth River Parish, Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, and probated in Lynnhaven Parish, Lower Norfolk County, on September 15, 1693, by Col. Lemuel Mason and Mr. Thomas Mason. [9]
"One of the most conspicuous and useful citizens of Lower Norfolk County about 1680 was James Thelaball, a native of France." His old plantation is now the site of Norfolk City Park.[10]
