Part 13

On April 15th Henry IV issued the "Edict of Nantes" and established universal liberty and equality as to religious professions and worship. Great general prosperity followed, especially in manufacture and agriculture.

On Oct. 17, 1685, Louis XIV revoked "the Edict of Nantes." This was followed by persecution, pillage, and destruction of property and people, especially of the Huguenots. Great numbers of people fled from France and among them our progenitor Jacques Caudebec.

On Sept. 19, 1749, Louis XV visited Caudebec with all the splendor of the French court. With their enthusiastic Royalist spirit the people unharnessed the horses and they themselves drew the royal carriage.

Caudebec is to-day a noted summer resort with a population of about 2,000, with fairs three times a year, with annual boat regattas, with provision for pleasure and entertainment. The people of nearby cities may thus enjoy its healthful climate and its hospitality.

A recent traveller has thus viewed Caudebec as approached from the sea by river. "Between the great forest of Maulevrier on our left and the green meadows on our right is the great broad Seine, fringed with shady arbors and with rows of modest homely hotels. The graceful church spire dominates the town which is in the midst of rising green hills. The old Caudebec, one of the oldest of Norman towns, with its medieval houses, narrow, crooked, ill-paved streets, was built on the site of the Roman settlement, Lotum and gives unmistakable evidence of its antiquity. The quaint windows and doorways, the overhanging and irregular roofs almost against one another are everywhere visible and are covered with creeping vines and climbing flowering plants."

"A LITTLE THING IS A LITTLE THING, BUT FAITHFULNESS IN LITTLE THINGS IS A GREAT THING."

MAY SOME MEMBER OF THE FAMILY COMPLETE AND CONTINUE THIS RECORD, AND MAY THE STERLING WORTH AND CHARACTER OF OUR ANCESTORS ENDURE THROUGH THE COMING GENERATIONS.

"RIGHT LIVING IN ITS SILENCE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN WORDS, AND CHARACTER, WHEN TOUCHED, RINGS OUT TRUE SWEET MUSIC."

INDEX

[Transcriber's Note: This is William L. Cuddeback's original index except the numbers after names in this index have been changed from page numbers. They are now the reference number for the lineage paragraph(s) in which a person of that name is discussed or a key to a listing in the table of contents. Again, superscripts are given to indicate the generation. A question mark in brackets indicates the entry could not be verified. If a number precedes the [?], there is a possible, though not exact name in that lineage paragraph.]
