[All children of Daniel Lamoreaux married English.]“Assimilation of the French refugee into the body politic of England [and the American Colonies] came about through the use of the English Language, by intermarriage, and a lack of desire to remain an isolated group.” Reaman, C. Elmore , The Trail of the Huguenots in Europe, the United States, South Africa and Canada, p.10 & 83 1758 by June Putnam Co, NY Daniel Lamoreaux's son, John, appears in the Southern Precinct later Putnam Co. "I believe John is the Lamoureux Referred to by Blake;" "Daniel's son, Isaac, the longest resident of Duchess (i.e. Putnam) County of the family. Isaac arrived in 1761. "Current View of Daniel Lamoreaux" David Kendall Martin, 2/1974, New York “…I have gone over many of the Dutchess County tax rolls- all of them for the Lamoreaux areas of interest, and I am sure that no Lamoreaux is listed there before June 1758 when John appears in the Southern Precinct, …Joshua does not appear until June 1765 in the same precinct – but there is no assessment for 1764, so he could have moved into the area between June 1763 and June 1764; in the same precinct at that time are: (John?), James (my line), and Isaac.The latter three continue to be listed in the Southern Precinct: June 1766, June 1767, June 1768, June 1769. In June 1770, James and Jeshua are there but I can’t find Isaac. The same for June 1771. About this time tha Southern Precinct was broken up into several precincts and in 1772 we have James, Isaac, and Joshua in the Philipse Precinct; in 1773 we have Joshua in Philipse and James in Charlotte (which is now the area of Hyde Park where he remains unil the lists stop in 1779; Isaac is in Charlotte also until 1779; Joshua stays in Philipse Precinct in 1773, 1774 (so the fence viewer must be Joshua’s son and not my James as some have said), and 1775. There is no list for 1776, and I have not found Joshua in 1777, 1778, or 1779, but he might well be there but not taxed – the Revolution was in full swing at this point.” [Note added: “Joshua’s son was born 1762, only 6…” so it can’t be him.] Notes of David K Martin, in a letter to Isabelle 1974 1758 July Duchess Co, NY James, Josué Lamoureux & Elizabeth Ogden's 1st child, is born in Duchess Co, NY (later Putnam Co) Family Records Philipstown, NY Archive Record [says B 1760 it has no Suzanna] . James Lamoureux lived to be 111 years, 4 months. Died in Canada, 1869. [Sets Birth date at July 1758.] [Did he set his birth place?] Toronto Newspaper "...rol", on County News page Brougham, 25 Oct 1938 Daniel Lamoreaux Children "Of the second generation we have Daniel's [Lamoureux] nine children and the three children of his two sisters. This number is probably incomplete. We are certain of seven sons of the family name, one son named Chaperone, one son named Dusjean, two daughters of Lamoureux origin, and one daughter of the Chaperone origin. "During Daniel's [Lamoureux] lifetime the family seems to have been kept well together, but after his death, perhaps influenced in some degree by the restlessness of the people just before the Revolution, his sons began to scatter. The Revolution introduced another disturbing element, sending two of his sons into exile. Only one of them remained near the old homestead, two went to Orange Co, and one (with two of Andrew's sons) to Albany Co. It was a period of comparative poverty, hard work, hard living, much ignorance, and large families. All of Daniel's sons, so far as I have records, had large families, the smallest 7 children, the largest 13. They were all typical pioneers, however, and they met the hardships of pioneer life bravely and cheerfully. When Daniel settled at Philipstown, he was in the backwoods, as I have said, for the Indians still lived in that vicinity, and hunting and trapping filled no small part of the settler's regular life. His sons were accustomed therefore to the rough fare and simple wants of the backwoodsmen, and their outlook upon life was unquestionably that of the frontiersman who have done so much to make the early history of our country."

This number is probably incomplete.

"During Daniel's lifetime the family seems to have been kept well together, but after his death, perhaps influenced in some degree by the restlessness of the people just before the Revolution, his sons began to scatter. The Revolution introduced another disturbing element, sending two of his sons into exile. Only one of them remained near the old homestead, two went to Orange Co, and one (with two of Andrew's sons) to Albany Co. It was a period of comparative poverty, hard work, hard living, much ignorance, and large families. All of Daniel's sons, so far as I have records, had large families, the smallest 7 children, the largest 13. They were all typical pioneers, however, and they met the hardships of pioneer life bravely and cheerfully. When Daniel settled at Philipstown, he was in the backwoods, as I have said, for the Indians still lived in that vicinity, and hunting and trapping filled no small part of the settler's regular life.

The Lordly Hudson, Carl Cramer, 1958 “During the American Revolutionary War, inhabitants were equally divided between the patriots and the Loyalists. Most of them signed the Association Tests, but not so many joined the militia, and a number of the later were branded as out and out Tories.
