Old Letters Give New Insight Into History
A trunkful of old family letters, dating back to 1808, somehow found its way down through the generations into my husband’s possession. Only recently have I found the time to examine it and have discovered that in this old trunk we have the story of the family back 10 generations. I have begun a journal from this material to let my children know their ancestors, through their own words. How close and real they become when one reads about the feelings and experiences of these people who had otherwise been just names on a family chart. And I have gained a fresh insight into our American heritage.
My research has taken me back to the first generation of the family to come to America. Daniel Guerin, his wife, Marie L’Orange and their children, Daniel, Pierre, Jane and Jean, French Huguenots who fled religious persecution in France, were among 191 refugees who sailed from England in December, 1700, on the ship Nassau. They left Daniel’s father in a martyr’s grave in France.
Fifteen years earlier, after years of trouble between Catholics and Protestants, Louis XVI revoked the Edict of Nantes, which had granted Protestants freedom of religion. There after, the Protestants were officially pressured into converting to Catholicism, and those who resisted were subjected to increasingly severe punishment.
Soldiers, known as dragoons, were stationed in many Protestant homes. First, their money was seized, then their furniture and other possessions, and finally, when nothing was left, they were dragged to church for “conversion.” Many of them submitted, but those who would not endured tortures. The dragoons burned the hands and feet of some in the open fire, broke the ribs, arms and legs of others. Many had their lips burned with hot irons, and others were cast into dungeons with the threat of starvation. The soldiers were permitted to do anything except murder and rape.
Many Protestants abandoned their fortune and land and escaped the country by ingenious means. For example, there is a story that Guerin relatives disguised themselves as peasants, hid their two small children in baskets on each side of a donkey, and concealed them with vegetables. The children had been warned to keep perfect silence, no matter what happened.
On their journey they were overtaken by a trooper who demanded to know what they were doing. “Taking fresh vegetables to the market,” the wife replied. Before departing, the soldier thrust his sword into the nearest basket, saying “Bon voyage, mes amis”. The child, hidden in the basket, did not utter a sound but was later found to have had the calf of his leg pierced by the sword.
Daniel’s father, Henri Guerin, had been in hiding in the Cevennes, a mountainous region whose pine clad valleys, gorges and streams offered refuge to many Protestants. They gathered in caves at night to hold their religious services. But they were relentlessly hunted down, and on Feb. 7, 1696. Henri Guerin was broken alive on the wheel.
This was one of the most horrible torturers left from former ages of barbarism. The prisoner was tied to a St. Andrew’s cross with arms and legs extended over grooves carved in the cross. The executioner gave heavy blows with a triangular iron rod, breaking the bones of the upper arms and legs, and giving a final blow to the stomach. The victim was then hung on his back over a wheel attached to one end of the cross where he hung until he died or was given a death blow. This method of torture was not abolished until the French Revolution in 1789.
It is small wonder that Henri’s son, Daniel fled with his family to America to escape persecution and to gain religious freedom. Benefactors in England and America arranged for four shiploads of refugees to come to America, and other countries also took them in. The Guerin family arrived at Jamestown in the colony of Virginia on April 5, 1701. They were each given 300 acres of wilderness land in Manikin, an abandoned Indian settlement, 20 miles up the James River from Richmond. They endured many hardships but eventually prospered and left an enduring mark on the land. The church that they built in 1701, a six-sided brick building modeled after William Byrd’s church at Westover, still stands today.
Much violence and misery have been perpetrated under the name of religion and Protestants must bear their share of guilt in this area. Religion is too personal, elicits too many intense emotions and becomes too controversial and divisive to ever be allowed to become a political issue. Our Founding Fathers were very wise to separate the church and state and to allow religious freedom. It has enabled people of all faiths, or no faith, to live side by side in harmony for 300 years. For the first time in our history this concept is now under attack from one branch of one of the many religious faiths represented in America.
Under the leadership of an organization with the misleading name of “Moral Majority,” sophisticated methods of fund-raising, propaganda and voter-registration drives have taken their influence to the President of the United States. His reelection is now their immediate goal. Sen. Paul Laxalt (R - Nev.), general chairman of President Reagan’s campaign, has written to 45,000 fundamentalist pastors in 16 states asking them to assist in a voter registration drive to enhance Reagan’s reelection chances. John Buckley, deputy press secretary for Reagan and George Bush, unwittingly revealed the voting record of these patriotic citizens in saying that “large amounts of Evangelical church members are unregistered.”
A two-volume “History of the French Protestants.” Published in 1854 has come down our family to us. It states that “it is a well-known law in history that every excess in one direction, sooner or later provokes a reaction in the opposite one.” It is obvious that the fundamentalists are reacting excessively to the declining moral standards of the times, which are probably a long-range reaction to the Victorian Era. There is no doubt that the mores of our times need strengthening, but all Americans should work together in wisdom to achieve this end and not let the minority who call themselves the “Moral Majority” divide and destroy us.
I think the Henri Guerin would want his story told.
