Biography

Jacques was baptized on May 1, 1746, at Tremoins, the son of Jean-Nicholas Darey and Susanne Jacot Darey.

Though we have no record of the specifics or hardships endured by him and his family, we do know that at some point they took up the offer from the British government of free land to German Protestants to immigrate to Nova Scotia. He arrived at Halifax on July 14th, 1752 aboard the Betty, the sea portion of the trip from Rotterdam to Halifax taking 68 days.^[1]

On October 20, 1772 he married Catherine Langille at St. Anthonys Anglican Church, Lunenburg Nova Scotia.

Punch notes that he is living in the Northwest Range in 1795, but does not record a death date for him.

No further information for this man is included in Montbéliard Emigrations and no information is included that indicates that he or his parents were Huguenot. Some of his descendants may claim Huguenot heritage through family oral traditions and lore.

Research Notes

• rootsweb.ancestry.com/-canns/Lunenburg lists witnesses at "James" and "Catherine's" wedding as Leopold Langille and George Fred Bailly^[2]<--- Busted link but should be followed-up on.

• James is not a name that appears in records for Jacques. He does have a son, James Frederick

• More on the removal of the Huguenot Immigrant information - These immigrants came from the Duchy of Wurtemburg, Germany at the time. There were Huguenots who passed through Montbéliard on their way to other places, but Montbéliard was not a source for Huguenot immigrations. These Immigrants are called Foreign Protestants and more information about them can be found here: https://archives.novascotia.ca/genealogy/foreign-protestants
