Whatever the date it was evidently a Valentine Xavier who fled from France to London, and there took up his residence. Valentine Xavier married Mary Smith in London about the year 1700...Valentine Xavier, the Refugee from France, we will call Valentine Sevier I because he is really the first of the English and American Family as we know it and because he was first to assume the English form of the name Sevier, although he was perhaps the fourth or fifth Valentine in direct line. Having arrived in England and having assumed the name Sevier, Valentine married Mary Smith about the year1700. They had among other children: Valentine Sevier,II, William Sevier. Valentine's father was a Hugenot. He left France and settled in London since his Protestant views were at odds with the state religion. His last name was "Sevier." [3]
Military Service
This can't be his military service, he would have been in his eighties at least.
