Theodore Agrippa D'Aubigne

"Théodore-Agrippa d'Aubigné (8 February 1552 – 29 April 1630) was a French poet, soldier, propagandist and chronicler. His epic poem Les Tragiques (1616) is widely regarded as his masterpiece. (Wikipedia)." "Between his two sons, and then later his three grandsons, the family eventually sailed to England in the late 1680s, or America, avoiding the Huguenot persecution in Europe. Later in 1715 or thereabouts, most if not all of the main family had sailed to the new world and settled on the east coast near the North River around Falls Church, Virginia, and changed their name to Dabney. His great grand daughter Françoise Charlotte d'Aubigné married into the House of Noailles."
