Notes for Henri Collot D’Escury
[16]Major of Cavalry in the Dutch army. Godfather to Henry Maret de la Rive, his nephew, at Dublin 8 May 1724 (Egl. Unies). He appears to have been baptised again, 20 Oct 1691, at the Fr. Ch. of Le Carré, London: “Henri, f. de Daniel, gentilhomme de la province de Bretagne, refugié, Major au Regiment de Cavalerie de Ruvigny (Lord Galway) et de Dame Anne Catherine de la Vallette.” He was probably only “ondoyé” in Frnace.
He was the ancestor of the branch in Holland, Barons d’Escury, existing in 1895. The Flory book
[60] has pictures of this branch, and was helped by the existing representative.
