Hillaire Rousseau's Father was?
I am fairly new at looking at my Rousseau line.I have known that my g,g,g,grandmother was Lavinia C.(?) Rousseau (b. 1827 AL) and she was the daughter of Mozea or Moses Rousseau but I have just recently traced back the connection to Hillaire.There seems to be much discussion as to who his father was.The prime suspect seems to be Theodore de Rousseau who came to VA on the Mary and Ann 23 Jul 1700 but no one seems to be sure.If Theodore was Hillaire's father, does anyone know of a mother or siblings of Hillaire.Also, it seems acknowledged that the Rousseau's were French Huguenots but what was their connection to the Waldenses or other religious movements in that area of VA?Why did they sail from London unless they escaped from France to England and then on to the new world. Does anyone have any information on Lavinia's mother's family?She was Martha Carson?.I do not read or speak French (although on good days I can get around in German) so I am at a disadvantage to research the early years of the Rousseau's.Thank you for your help, Faye Cook Wisenbaker
