French connection

Somewhere in these notes I read that there may be a French connection. I was looking up information and found the following historical event that may shed some light on that idea.

It is said that in 1559 the bridge over the Devon at Tullibody was broken down to impede the passage of French troops in the service of Mary of Lorraine (or Guise), but the French removed the roof of the church and repaired the bridge.

it is interesting to note that in my family genealogy the last generation of Condie that we have found is Patrick Condie born in 1584. There is no information available on our family before this date. I therefore conclude that it is possible that Patrick could have been a child of a French troop?

I am interested to hear more or find out if anyone has any clearer information.

Thanks, Melinda
