I am looking for information on the ancestry of ANDRE JOLIN (also spelled JOULIN and JOULAIN, eventually became JOLINE) of St. Palais, France, who married MADELAINE POUPIN and emigrated from St. Palais (near La Rochelle) to New Amsterdam in 1686. He eventually settled in Elizabeth, NJ. ANDRE died ante 1742. Their attested children (all born in New Amsterdam) are JEAN (known as Capt. JEAN and sometimes as Capt. JOHN), b. 3 March 1693/4; ANNE MADELAINE, b. 10 March 1696; DAVID, b. 12 Feb. 1698/9; and JEANNE, b. 1701. There is also sometimes claimed to be another son, ANDREW, born before 1686, but this seems to be a confusion with the original ANDRE being referenced as ANDREW in NJ records. There may have been a second marriage to MARY TROTTER (b. 22 Jan. 1654, Newbury, Mass.) and a child of the second family (MARIE, who married JOHN BLANCHARD). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
