Generation No. 1

1. LOUISS¹ ORANGE died August 24, 1734 in Henrico, VA. He married MARY.

Notes for LOUISS ORANGE:
The Orange family started in America in July 31, 1700 when Louiss Orange, his wife and one infant arrived at James Town Virginia. Louiss was aboard the ship 'Mary and Ann' and was listed as one of the 205 French Refugees. Listed as 'Louiss Orange, sa femme et un enfant' The ship set sail on April 19, 1700 from the port of Gravesend, England. The ship was one of five that left England. Dr. Daniel Coxe, a court physician in England was the principal promoter to establish a colony of French refugees in America. Dr. Coxe succeeded in convincing Kinq William, III of France that the people should locate along the James River.

Naturalized as Lewis Orange in 1705 in the colony of Virginia.

There was 10,000 acres of land that was divided among the French refugees. Louiss Orange was listed as a French refugee that did not receive land. The land owners were called Patentees. There was a Jean L'Orange who died shortly after arriving and his wife Frances received two segments of land. They had one daughter also named Frances. She married numerous times and gave her land away to her children by other marriages and therefore is probably not related to Louiss Orange who died in 1734. The L'Orange name stopped since she had no males named L'Orange. The French Lands were south of the James River in Henrico County.

A will belonging to Lewis Orange showed that he died on August 24, 1734 in Henrico County Virginia. His wife’s name was Mary. He had a son named Lewis Orange who is the direct descendent.
