John (Jean) Jaquelin and Elizabeth Craddock were Huguenots (Protestants) from La Vendee, France. John and Elizabeth fled from France to England to escape religious persecution.  

 

 At the time of the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacres in 1572, over 2 million French residents were Huguenots. By 1700, that number was just under 100,000.  Huguenots who refused to renounce Protestantism were killed.  Many escaped to England.  This began as a political power struggle between the Protestant noblilty and the Catholic nobility of the French court.

 

“Carts piled high with the dead bodies of noble ladies, women, girls, men, and boys were brought down and emptied into the river, which was covered with dead bodies and ran red with blood.” — Protestant minister Simon Goulart 

from the History of Yesterday 

 

The Jacquelin family was very wealthy and were fortunate enough to convert a large portion of their wealth into gold and silver which they transported to England. 

 

Edward Jaquelin, son of John and Elizabeth, was born in the County Kent, England. He came to Virginia in 1697 as a Huguenot refugee.  Edward was born in 1668 and died in 1730. He married twice. His first wife was Rachel Sherwood, a widow of William Sherwood. She was childless. Edward married his second wife (Martha Cary) in 1706. Martha was born in 1686 and died in 1738. Martha was the daughter of William Cary of Warwick County, Virginia and Martha Scarbrook.  Her father was the fourth son of Col. Miles Cary who emigrated to this country in 1730. 

 

Edward was a young man of education and some means. He acquired a large estate on Jamestown Island. Edward Jacquelin died in 1730, at Jamestown, leaving by his second marriage two sons and three daughters.  

 

The two sons, Matthew and Edward, died unmarried, and thus the old Huguenot name, so famous in France as La Roche Jaquelin, died out in Virginia.   Through the daughters, Elizabeth, wife of Richard Ambler, and Mary, wife of John Smith, of Shooter's Hill, there are many descendants of the Jaquelins.   Martha Jaquelin, widow of the immigrant, gave a silver baptismal vase to the church at Jamestown, in 1733.   It bore the following inscription: 

 

 Given by Martha, the wife of Edward Jaquelin 

and Edward their son, for the use of the 

Church in James City. 

The last dyed at Hackney, 

Interred in Shadwell Churchyard, 

Aged 18 years.   1733-4.
