Elizabeth Dubois, a Huguenot, emmigrated to England in 1685 around the age of 42 with her children (most of whom were grown) except Paul whom either went to Holland, or directly to Philadelphia. Shortly thereafter, fearing further persecution under the Catholic James II, they all emigrated to New York.
