MATTHEW CABINISS HENRY3 CABANISS (PIERRE2, ANDRE1 CABANIS)7,8 was born Abt. 1675 in LaSalle, Gard, France8, and died Abt. 1720 in Westover Parish, Prince George County, Virginia. He married MARY HARRISON11,12 Abt. 1710. She was born Abt. 1679. Notes for HENRY CABANISS: Henry Cabaniss left London, England, in 1700 aboard the good ship Mary and Ann bound for the mouth of the James River in Virginia in a party of 205 persons, men, women and children, in search of religious freedom and political sanctuary in the new world. He had with him at that time his wife and one child of tender years named Henry. The Marquess de La Muce, Sir Oliver of Nantes, France, was in charge of the party assisted by Monsieur Charles de Sailly. The party arrived at the mouth of the James River on July 23, 1700, after a thirteen weeks passage. Attempts have been made to locate a description of the ship which brought the group to Virginia but as yet all attempts have been unsuccessful. Considering the size of the party and having in mind the fact that only one-fourth of the ship was reserved for passengers, it would be safe to assume that the ship was a large one probably three or four masts. The Cabaniss family originated in France. Shortly after the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685, the family was forced to flee to Switzerland, where a large canton of French refugees collected in what is commonly known as a French canton of Switzerland. Henry shortly thereafter made his way to Rotterdam, Holland, in company with seventy-four other refugees. There the Marquess de La Muce paid his passage and expenses from Switzerland to Rotterdam and from there to London, England. The following extract is taken from a report that Governor Francis Nicholson of Virginia made to the British Lords of Trade on August 12, 1700. It is set out herein as the facts are fascinating: "The 24th of the last month, I had the good fortune of receiving his Ma'y's Royal Commands of March ye 18th, 1699, sent me by your Lord'p, concerning the 1700 Marquis de la Muce, Mons'r de Sailly, and other French Protestant Refugees; and I beg to leave to assure yo'r Lord'p, that as I have, so I will endeavor to obey them (they were on board the ship Mary and Ann, of London, George Hawes, Commander, who had about 13 weeks passage, and the 23d of the last month arrived at the mouth of this river), and upon receipt of them, I immediately went ...
