Notes for Simeon LEROY
Simeon came to Quebec in 1668 an unmarried man of 28, quite likely having done service in the French army.
Even though they moved to the Hudson Valley region from Canada, this couple did not abide with the Protestant religion. They only stood as sponsors for the baptism of one of their numerous grandchildren and then probably by proxy at the Dutch Reformed Church on Staten Island. In 1689 when the inhabitants of New York were called upon to appear and take oath of allegiance to King William and Queen Mary, Simeon LeRoy and his eldest son, Olivier, were among those who are recorded as having defaulted in appearance. The oath contained the most rigid abjuration of all Cathlic doctrines, and their default speaks for itself.
