[Copy of Bailey.ftw]
Dr. Pierre Bauduoin was a French Huguenot refugee.In 1863, he left France and
immigrated to Ireland due to religious persecution. He left England on board the
"John of Dublin" out of the port town of Wexford, Ireland and immigrated to
America in 1686 and his wife and four children and settled in Casco Bay, Maine,
where he received a land grant of 100 acres.In 1690 approx. he and his family
moved to Boston, Massachusetts.He was blessed with a dark complexion and keen,
bright dark eyes.He remained in Boston for the remainder of his days.
Dr. Pierre promptly becamse anglicised into Peter Bowdoin.There has never
been a better stock in any country than this French Huguenot blood. Careful
students of history say that France never recovered the blow to both its
material and moral prosperity inflicted by the exodus of more than 100,000 of
its best citizens.The French Huguenots were to France what the Puritans were
to England, with the difference that they lacked the hardiness of the English
Puritans.They practiced the same stern morality, were almost as ascetic in
their lives, but the element of harshness was lacking in their composition, and
wherever they went they speedily made friends of the people with whom their
lots were thrown.
