de Hennot;

Jacques was mentioned as a son of thelate Jehan Henne and Isabel Guaille,
in a 19 March 1549 deed of sale filed in the Archives of Valenciennes.
He was alderman of Valenciennes in 1560, 1561, 1566, and Treize Homme in
1577 (MSS, 550-767).
Jacques Hennot, late lieutenant of the military guard of Valenciennes,
surrendered twice at Tournai, the first time with Guy de Bres, (the celebrated
Huguenot preacher executed there in 1567), the second time after the death
of the latter. He was then taken under guard toward Lisle, but escaped
through the intervention of a band of Huguenot horsemen, after which escape
all trace of him was lost by the authorities. He was pursued by order
of Theodore Cresia, commandant of the Italian Cavalry under the Duke of
Alva, who gave instructions to capture the body of Jacques Hennot wherever
he might be found, promising an honorable sum to any one who should deliver
him dead, or a double amount if the said Hennot should be delivered alive.
Record of those orders are found in the "Confiscations et ordonnances concernant
les troubles survenus a la fin du VXI Siècle" in the Royal Archives
at Brussells, where also is found the decree confiscating all the lands
and goods of Jacques Hennot, and branding him as an outlaw.
The next trace of him is in the documents of the British Museum relating
to the religious wars of Flanders. There among the names of refugees
is found that of Jacques Hennot, late lieutenant of the military guard
at Valenciennes. This Jacques Hennot settled in an English province
about 1598.

Jean, or "John" as his name was anglicized, moved to London where record

21 October 1625 at the Huguenot Church on Threadneedle Street in London,

Connecticut.
While in his early twenties, James emigrated to America and settled in
Windsor, Hartford Co., Connecticut. His name is inscribed in the

as well as an additional fifty acres on the mainland. In April 1666, he
and John Moses, acting as agents for the town of Windsor, negotiated with
Nassahegan, the sachem of the Poquonnoc, to buy 28,000 acres. For this
service, the town granted him additional lands, known as Tilton's Marsh.
