"David Des Marets was a member of an ancientand distinguished family from the province of Picardy, France;descended from Baudoin, Seigneur des Marets, 1080 and also from hisson Baudoin des Marets, "who made over to the Abbey of Mount St. Andrein 1190 several heritages situated in the Seigneury des Marets". Thefamily seat was at Menil-le-Cressons and they were allied to theCressons of Burgundy.
A Huguenot, he fled to Sluis, Zeeland, Holland abt 1635; was livingin Leyden in 1640; removed to Mannheim, Germany. He became an Elderin the French Church at Mannheim on the Rhine and four of his childrenwere baptized there. When the Palantine was threatened by neighboringCatholic princes, they escaped by the Rhine river to Amsterdam. Heleft from Amsterdam in the "Bearer" to New Amstel on the DelawareRiver and made a return trip to Holland in 1657. He left fromAmsterdam with wife and four children in the "Bonte Koe" (Spotted Cow)to New Amsterdam in 1663. He commanded a company of the New Haarlemmilitia in the second Esopus War, 1663; was a delegate from StatenIsland to the General Assembly (Landtag) of the New Netherlands andmagistrate for Staten Island, 1664; one of the founders of New Haarlemand purchased land there in 1665; overseer, 1667--8, 1671-2; "schepen(alderman)", 1673; magistrate, 1673, 75; large landowner. He boughtseveral thousand acres from the Tappon Indians in 1677 and founded theFrench Church at Kinderkameek. " Source: Compendium of AmericanGenealogies
"David des Marets left France with his family and lived 12 years inthe Netherlands then went to the US; spent two years on Statenisland where he was connected with the Huguenot church, (apparently,the church contains a tablet to his memory), then 12 years in Haarlem,connected with the Dutch church. In 1677 he secured from the Indiansand Sir George Carteret the French Patent of the Hackensack. In 1678he came accompanied by seven adults of his own name; a few otherFrench families--La Rou, de Viaux, DuRie. " Source: Holland Society ofNew York compiled genealogy
According to Elsa Banta, David and his parents were forced to fleeFrance to Middleburg, Netherlands, due to religious persecution. FromMiddleburg they moved to Mannheim, Germany in 1651. They organized achurch there, but soon the Palatinate was threatened by invasion byneighboring Catholic princes. They escaped, via the Rhine River, toAmsterdam, and embarked, after a short stay, for New Netherlands(later New York state) on the ship "Bonte Koe" (Spotted Cow).
For 2 years they lived on Staten Island, and then moved to Harlem. Thepresent Huguenot Church on Staten Island was organized by David andcontains a tablet to his memory. They lived in Harlem until 1678, whenhe purchased a large tract of land in New Jersey for the formation ofthe French Colony. Upon arriving in Bergen County, New Jersey, heerected a temporary log house and barns, where he lived untilcompleting a more permanent home in 1680. In 1678 he and his familyhad united with the Bergen Reformed Dutch Church. In 1682 they hadcompleted the building of the French Church of Kinderkamack, NewJersey, built on Demarest land. Adjoining the church was the "LittleFrench Cemetery." Hendrick Banta was David's neighbor.
David and his wife, Marie Sohier, married in 1643 in the WalloonChurch, Middleburg, Netherlands. 3 children were born in Middleburg, 4in Mannheim, Germany and 1 in New Harlem, New York.
His wife died of smallpox in 1677 or 1678, and is buried in the FrenchBurying Ground in Bergen, New Jersey. He was married to Marie Sohieron Jul 29, 1643 in Middleburg, Isle/Walcheren, Zeeland, Netherlands.
His will was dated Aug 26 1689 and probated Jul 30, 1697. His willincluded a bequest to Anna Cronk, possibly his housekeeper, of 100acres and the rest of his estate went to his three sons, equally,except that the son David had died, so Jean Durie represented thechildren of David, Jr. and he later married the widow.
