Several people think that some of us descend from Isaac Dumont de Bostaquet of chateau of LaFontelage in Normandy, France.He was French Hugunot and had to escape.He joined William of Orange as a military man and went to England.Some say that he is buried in Ireland.
Long before I was born people in Taylorsville, NC, said that Ruth Baskett wife of John Marley Jones was descended from him.I can not prove that yet and the folks in Taylorsville who knew are dead.
The book on the Duvals of Kentucky describes in detail Isaac, but nothing on my Ruth.
