Family Note
Andre’ Lamoureux married Suzanne de la Tour on December 16, 1687 in Meche, Saintonge, France. They had the following children (the first 2 were born in France, the rest in Bristol, England):

Elizabeth (abt 1688 - Dec 1708) m1. Gerret Dusjean, M2. _____ Grant
Judith (12 Dec 1689 - ) m. Pierre Chaperone
Jacques (abt 1689 - bef 9 Mar 1690/1)
Denise (24 Dec 1690 - dy)
Daniel (24 Dec 1693 - bef 22 Jun 1694)
Daniel (29 Nov 1695, - Oct 1754)
Elizabeth (abt 1697 - dy)

Andre' of Mesche’, France was a Pilot on the Girond River, which lies between La Rochelle and Bordeaux. Pilots were responsible for boarding inbound vessels, and guiding them safely up river into port. Pilot's were highly regarded, and followed a strict code of conduct.
Andre' and Suzanne were Huguenots, and sometime shortly before 1687, they along with their daughter, left "dinner on the table and candles burning", boarded his own ship in the middle of the night and stole away to England, where they arrived the next morning with about 200 pounds of goods and furniture. Suzanne was pregnant at the time.
By 1689, Andre' is in Bristol, England as a ship's master. He apparantly owned his own ship which he had built himself.
On June 22, 1694, where Andre', Suzanne Lamoureux and 2 children (Elizabeth and Judith] are on Denization list in Bristol, England. The Denization list was a list of applicants for citizenship of the British Empire.
They family boarded their ship, and sailed in to New York by 1700.
In 1702 or 1703, they purchased for 15 pounds, 32 acres in what is now part of the Rockerfeller property which contains the United Nations Building in midtown Manhattan.
"Andrew Lamarue" is listed in the 1703 New York City Census, as an inhabitant of the West Ward of New York City; 1 male between 16 and 60 years; 1 female between 16 and 60 years; and 1 male and 1 female both under 16 years. It is unclear from this whether Suzanne had died, or the eldest daughter Elizabeth had already married.
In New York, Andre' was master of a sloop and was taken by French Privateer in the West Indies, held for bounty, and forced to procure his own release, which he did, and soon returned to New York where he was almost immediately impressed (forced to serve) into the British Navy as the captain of the merchantman Her Maj-ties Ship Triton Prize. Upon hearing of the ordeal, the Governor of the New York Colony, "His Excy Edward Viscount Cornbury", issued an order, dated May 4, 1706, for his immediate release. Apparently ship's masters were not permitted to be impressed into service. This is the last record we have of Andre' Lamoureux.
