Because of religious persecutions Jean de Forest , father of Jessé de Forest (Walloon Huguenot) migrated to Sedan and to Leiden, Holland. Isaac de Forest, son of Jessé,is the one that left Holland in 1636 and settle in Harlem New York with his wife Sara Du Trieux. They were married in June 1641 in New Amsterdam (NY). They had fourteen children.
