I came across the following in Huguenot Ancestry (Noel Currer-Briggs & Royston Gambier's book): "The bishop of London in 1682 sent the Rev. PIERRE DAILLE to minister to the French Protestants in the New World. His mission was so successful that it earned him the name of the 'Apostle of the Huguenots'." I don't know if this helps someone or not, but it seemed worth mentioning. Regards, Jan Zwarick
