Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Maine Historical Society at Bowdoin College: On the Afternoon of the Annual Commencement, September 5, 1849 He came from the famous town of Rochelle, which was for so many years the very stronghold and rally ing point of Protestantism in France, and which, in 1629, held out so long and so heroically against the siege, which Richelieu himself thought it no shame to conduct in person. He is said to have been a physician by profession. The mere internal evidence of the paper which I have produced, though the idiom may not be altogether of the latest Parisian, shows him to have been a man of education. While, without insisting on tracing back his pedigree, as others have done, either to Baldwin, Count of Flanders in 862, or to Baldwin the chival rous King Of Jerusalem in 1143, both Of whom, it seems, spelled their names precisely as he did, there is ample testimony that he was a man both of family and fortune in his own land. I am the eldest descendant, wrote James Bow doin, the patron of the College within whose precincts we are assembled, from one of those unfortunate families which was obliged to y their native country on account Of religion; a family, which, as I under stand, lived in affluence, perhaps elegance, upon a handsome estate in the neighborhood of Rochelle, which at that time (1685) yielded the considerable income of 700 louis d'ors per annum. This estate was, of course, irrecoverably forfeited by his ight, and at the end of two years of painful and perilous adventure, he landed upon the shores of New England, with no other wealth but a wife and four children, and the freedom to worship God after the dictates of his own conscience.
