The d'AILLY who married a COLIGNY was Margerete d'AILLY 1650 m. Francois COLIGNY son of Gaspard II COLIGNY 1519-1572 & Jeanne Charlotte de LAVAL. Margerete's father was Antoine d'AILLY and it was his two sons who died at battle St. Denis. Antoine was son of Charles and Charles son of Jehan. The name d'AILLY was usually the name of the Catholic branch of the family while those of the Huguenot branch usually used DALLY. The name DALLY and d'AILLY is from the Latin de Alliaco and was traced to 1090 A.D. in northern France, to the area called Alliacum by the Romans, when they occupied the area around what is now Amiens.

This is a wonderful find Andrea, Thank you so much!! These are my Hugenot/Walloon ancestors!! We have some portraits of Helen Chick and her two brothers in the family. No idea of the brothers' names but here is a link. I have made some attempt to trace back the Knowlers from info on the LDS site back to 15th Century with a Radulphus and Thomas Knowler. I have found some info on Abraham leGrand's son Stephen who went to Cambridge and became a doctor in London. I think I posted this already. You have that information here. I had Abraham LeGrand senior marrying an Elizabeth Danbrinbe from the LDS records looks like his wife was really Helen Plummer. Any more info you may have on this much appreciated. I also found a Gentleman Abraham LeGrand buying a copy of the History of Sandwich from teh ancestry.com database, so perhaps they originally settled in Sandwich. All I need to do next is find if the stones still exist - I bet they are illegible now - but who knows. Best Regards Chris Cork
