Descendants of Vencent Rongnion

Generation No. 1

1. VENCENT¹ RONGNION was born 1645 in Poitiers, Ancienne Poiton, France, and died November 1713 in New Jersey. He married ANN MARTHA BOUTCHER July 17, 1668 in New Jersey, daughter of JOHN BOUTCHER.

Notes for VENCENT RONGNION:
The first reference to Vencent's name in the US is seen in 1688 in a marriage licence given by Phillip Carteret, the young governor of New Jersey at Trenton. The next public notice of Vencent Rongnion's name is found as owner of a piece of ground at Elizabethtown which he bought March 20, 1671-2. He was probably induced to make his first settlement at that place because of the national affinity of the early settlers. Vencent did not remain long among that settlement, for the stern Puritan element predominated and rendered his relation unpleasant. Disposing of his town property as soon as possible, the next notice of him was in the Baptist community, at Piscataway, Middlesex Co., New Jersey. Here on the Raritan River in the Spring of 1677, he purchased a farm of 154 1/2 acres.
