Husband: Isaac BALLIOTE |
Born: before 1625 in Burbach, , France Notes: During the Religious Wars, many of the Hugenot families were separated and individuals members of a family would be taken in and protected by relatives and friends sympathetic to the Hugenot beliefs. One of these refugees was an Isaac Bailliote, who was a resident of Burbach as early as 1625. Burbach is a village about six miles from Schalbach, and before the Revolution of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, it appears to have been, with neighboring villages, a part of the Sovereignty of Saarwerden, which had become an asylum for the Hugenot refugees, among which were the Baillets. Local records at Saarwerden inform us that the Baillet family settled there before the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), but because of the frightful conditions that prevailed were forced into exile, returning after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 to Schalbach, where the family became firmly established. Burbach, France was six miles from Schelback, a place of refuge for the Hugenots. Burgundy was the ancestral home of the Balliet family. Before religious persecution drove the family into exile, records show the Balliets to be members of the lesser nobility (Landed Gentry) and united through marriage with royal households. |
