Biography
Name : Jean Davids[1]
Jan David and Esther Vincent had their daughter Anna baptized in the Reformed Dutch Church of Kingston, New York, on 2 October 1687. The record was annotated "They are French people." It is likely that they were Huguenot immigrants to New York.

There is also a question as to the linked daughter, Marguerite, whose dob is actually for the daughter of Guillaume David, who did go to New Netherlands after being in Canada, New France for some years.
Research is needed to determine what we actually know about this man and his wife. I think it very likely, based on the date and place of the baptism recorded here, that he was a Huguenot. I have no idea about Huguenots stopping off in Montréal before going to New York.
