Jesse De Forest
1. Jesse De Forest was born about 1575 in Avesnes-sur-Helpe, Nord, Hauts-de-France, France; died on 22 Oct 1624 in Guyana. Notes:
After living in Sedan biefly, Jesse moved to Montcornet in 1609, and
later moved to Leyden, Holland where he made his home on the
Breedestraet. Jesse served with Prince Maurice of Nassau, as a
Lieutenant and Captain.
In 1621, the Walloons and Huguenots of Leyden, Holland planned to
follow the Puritans to America (then called the West Indies). Jesse de
Forest was acclaimed the leader and spokesman for the band when the
exiles approached the British Ambassador at The Hague regarding their
settling in Virginia. The English turned down his petition to
establish a colony in Virginia. It was Jesse's desire to establish a
Colony in the New World, so that the Walloons could practice their
Reformed Religion without persecution. He then sought permission from
the Dutch to establish a colony in what is now New York City. He was
granted permission. He assembled approximately 60 families of French
Speaking Walloons and Dutch for the settlement in New Amsterdam, New
Netherland. The first permanent settlers arrived in New Amsterdam May
1624. Today, there is a Monument in Battery Park, New York City called
the Walloon Settlers Memorial. That monument was given to the City of
New York by the people of France in honor of Jesse's inspiration in
founding New York City. There is also a monument in Jesse's honor in
Avesnes, France, the College Jesse de Forest and Jesse de Forest
Avenue.
