Hi: Ben: If you have a chance look for Charle Perault (Charles Perrow)
born in Bordeaux France in about 1670-80 . He arrived in the Colonies in
1697 prior to the Manikin settlers of which his son Daniel was among.
after the Huguenots were settled in Manikintowne, Charle moved there and
appears on the Vestry list until his death. My interest is in any info
about him or his family in France.
Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks, and have a great trip. Bob
Watson Newport News, Va.
