Lefevre, George N.; Genealogical Chart of Isaac le Fevre, A Huguenot who settled in Virginia, Strasbur, VA; 1933. In the spring of 1700 (1701) over seven hundred Huguenots sailed from Gravesend England for Virginia. The names of three of the ships are known, the "Peter and Anthony", "Le Nasseau" and the "Mary and Ann". The colony came under the leadership of the Marquis Oliver de la Muce and his assistant Charles de Sailly. Arriving in Virginia there arose dissension among the colonists as to what lands they would settle on; so two hundred odd of the number settled on the extinct Manacan Indian lands of manakin, twenty miles West of Richmond where ten thousand acres of land was given them by the King. This land is located in Goochland and Powhatan Counties, principally in Powhatan, on the south side of James River. The colonists constructed a town with dwellings, church, school and hospital. Their Minister, Benjamin de Joux and Clerk Jacques Sublet, their physicians, Doctors Castogne and Paul Micou. they named the town King William Town and the Parish King William. the land was divided into tracts of one hundred thirty-three acres. English settled with these Huguenots and intermarried. As they prospered they acquired more land and slaves and built homes on their farms and enjoyed entertaining their friends and travelers. These refugees were of the best blood of France, many of the nobility and some had royal blood in their veins. These refugees were frugal, industrious, and good loyal citizens, gave their lives and means in the struggle for independence of the Colonies. Their homes and crops, in many instances, were destroyed by the British. They never complained, but continued fighting until the end. Their names are found in the list of soldiers in the Battles throughout the Revolutionary War. Their descendants are found in every line of endeavor. II. LEFEVRE (Peter Dupuy m. Judith LeFevere) 1.
