Samuel du Chemin was reportedly a French Huguenot from Caen, Normandy,
France. He was born about 1673 died about 1729. Samuel was reported to
have been born in France and at an early age came to England with his
parents, then on to America prior to 1693 and settled in Westmoreland County
Virginia. He was naturalized in the Colony of Virginia under the Anglicized
name of Dishman. His will was probated in Westmoreland county, Virginia on
may 31, 1727.
