General Notes: Husband - Dr. David Marchand

---

He was a French Huguenot, driven from France by the "revocation of the edict of Nantes." One of his ancestors had been subjected to the most cruel torture and rendered deformed and helpless for the remainder of his life. He and his friends settled in that refuge of all the oppressed, the city of Geneva, Switzerland. He emigrated from Switzerland and settled during the "French and Indian war" in Lancaster city, Pennsylvania. He with his two sons, David and Frederic, practiced medicine. The two sons later went west to southwestern Pennsylvania.

In 1754 he and his wife, with their two sons, embarked from Rotterdam for America in the ship "Nancy," Captain John Ewing. They landed at Philadelphia and September 14, 1754, Dr. David Marchand, with eighty-six others, took the oath of allegiance to the crown of Great Britain and the province of Pennsylvania. Then, with his family and former neighbors, he came out by way of Lancaster and Harris Ferry (Harrisburg) and the "Great Road" up the Cumberland valley, through Shippenburg into the Conequechique Settlement, and took up lands near Hagerstown. Here both he and his wife took up the practice of their profession and trained their two sons in the same.
