reports name
Jean RAPAREILLIET (~1552-1606).
Occupation
reported as “weaver or miller”.
The
Following are excerpts from Hugh T.
Law's article, "Chapter 7, Ancestors Traced to France: Joris Jansen De
Rapalje and Catharine Trico," How To Trace Your Ancestors to Europe, 1987,
pp.84~86:
“In 1964 I
wrote to the Archivist of the Departmental Archives of the Department of Nord,
where Valenciennes is located. He sent me the name and address of a researcher,
Monsieur F. Bleriot. This man mailed me a report on 24 September 1964. It
contains extracts of the baptism record of Georges (French for the Dutch name,
Joris) Rapareilliet, son Jean Rapareilliet, and of those of his older brothers
and sisters. They were found in the records of St. Nicolas parish in
Valenciennes. Indexes of other parishes there contain no baptism of a Georges
Rapareilliet. The dates given below are baptism dates unless identified as
burial dates:
Jehenne (old
form of Jeanne) daughter of Jean (John) Rapareilliet 1 August 1578.
Marie,
daughter of Jean Rapareilliet 29 July 1580.
These two
girls, born 14 or 16 years before the next children may be the daughters of
another Jean or more likely of the same Jean's earlier marriage.
Olivier, son
of Jean Rapareilliet 28 Feb. 1594.
Anne,
daughter of Jean Rapareilliet 17 Sep. 1595.
Francois,
son of Jean Rapareilliet 5 Nov. 1596.
Nicolas, son
of Jean Rapareilliet 10 July 1598.
A
Rapareilliet child was buried 16 Nov. 1600.
Georges,
illegitimate son of Jean Rapareilliet 28 Apr. 1604.
"The
wife Rapareilliet, miller" was buried 23 Feb. 1606.
A
microfilmed copy of these records, now available, shows by the handwriting that
the same priest recorded the baptism of Nicolas in 1598 and of Georges in 1604;
he called only the latter illegitimate, as he did two per cent of the babies he
baptized.(5)
It appears
that Georges Rapareilliet carried the same stigma as did William the Conqueror
and many other noted people. This, and the fact that he was the youngest child,
less likely to inherit property than his older brothers, could help to explain
why he moved to Amsterdam and later to the New World. We find no record of his
brothers and sisters in the Walloon Index. He may have accepted Protestantism
in Amsterdam, or have received Protestant teachings at home in Valenciennes.
I accept
this George Rapareilliet as the future husband of Catherine Trico and as a
progenitor of a million Americans and Canadians because:
1. The
French name Georges is Joris in Dutch.
2. Born in
April 1604 he was still nineteen on 13 January 1624, as his marriage record
says.
3. He was
born where his marriage record claims: at Valenciennes.
4.
Protestantism was outlawed in this area, then under Spanish rule, Jean
Rapareilliet and his wife, if they had Protestant views, were required to have
their children baptized in the Catholic Church.
5. In
America, Joris took the name Jansen, which means "son of Jan or
Jean."
6. The
surname Rapareilliet is pronounced Raparlie (the spelling used in the 1624
marriage record with the dropping of one l.)
Neither
parish nor notarial records (wills, marriage contracts, sales of property,
etc.) of Valenciennes are available early enough to extend this Rapareilliet
line further.
