• Notes

  They are descendants of French Huguenots, who fled from France on account of religious persecutions, and settled in Ireland. In 1720 William Marquis and Margaret, his wife, together with their son Thomas and daughter Mary, emigrated to this country from Ireland, and they settled on the Opequon River, about three miles outside Winchester, Virginia in the year 1737, shortly after opening of the Shenandoah Valley by Lord Fairfax. It is believed that some of the children of this family remained in Ireland. Some years after their parents came to America. - http://www.chartiers.com/beers-project/articles/marquis-182.html - http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/5463/marquis.html
