Annals of the Derosset Family

Excerpt from Annals of the Derosset Family: Huguenot Immigrants to the Province of North Carolina Early in the Eighteenth Century After my father's death, in 1897, the old house, which in its century of exist ence had sheltered six generations, was to pass out of the family. These papers were found and brought from their hidden recesses, and as a labor of love I undertook the task, which has proved a solace and comfort in times of sorrow and loneliness. It may be thought that I have gone too far into historical detail - familiar to our elders, it is true; but my hope is to interest our young people in the story of their ancestors, and thereby to inspire them with a love of general historical study and research.
