General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Bayard

---

The original patronymic of this ancient and noble family was du Terrall, a name rendered illustrious by the celebrated knight Pierre du Terrall, Seigneur de Bayard. He died unmarried, April 30, 1524, aged forty-eight. Subsequently the family took the name of Bayard, derived from their chateau in Dauphiny, about six miles from Grenoble. The province was largely Huguenot, and among those who embraced "the religion" were the Bayards. During the persecutions of the sixteenth century some members of the family fled to Holland, where one of them married Anna Stuyvesant, a sister of Peter Stuyvesant, the first Dutch governor of New York, then New Amsterdam. When he came to take possession of his province, in 1647, his sister, then a widow, accompanied him with her children. Thus was planted on the shores of the New World a race in whose veins flowed the blood of the du Terralls and Stuyvesants, of the good knight "without fear and without reproach," and of the valiant soldier-governor of the province of New Netherlands.
