Horguelin and Perrette Picart,
Wife (1679) Madeleine Bernard, daughter of Samuel Bernard and
Madeleine Lequeux.
Refuge Huguenot, Frankfurt, 1675.
Three Horguelin son of Abraham, residing at the sign of the Golden Fleece at Chalons, leaving the city: the two eldest, Jacques and Pierre took refuge in Saxony and Silesia, the third Jeremiah, "is withdraw "Rue des Blancs Coats, in the Marais district in Paris. A letter from Jean
Horguelin, son of Jeremiah, written Breslau April 11, 1742, indicates that "two uncles (Jacques and Pierre) brothers of my father (Jeremy) came out of France in the years 1675 to 1680 and settled in these countries it (...)". (1)
can follow the path of "fugitive" Jacques Horguelin from different sources, French and German. Jacques
therefore leaves France in 1675, aged 25, and settled first in Frankfurt.
We read in his marriage contract dated February 2, 1680: "Jacques Horguelin, a banker in Frankfurt, 30 years (...)". (2)
He transferred to Halle and Leipzig. The database of the Huguenot refuge reported that in 1700 the Sieur Jacques Horguelin, merchant and Secretary of Commerce, expressed his habitual residence in Halle to Leipzig. Another report in 1707: the fugitive Jacques Horguelin and two children go to Leipzig to Berlin. (3)
In 1711, Jacques was in Bremen. He married his second wife Jeanne hempseed. Her marriage is blessed by the pastor of the French Reformed Church of Bremen September 9, 1711. (4)
He died in Bremen 19 October 1712 and was buried "in the cemetery of the new town" (5)
Wedding in Paris and Charenton, 1679-1680. The marriage contract is executed before notaries Rent and Savigny, Paris, September 18, 1679. Jacques Horguelin, a fugitive of the Kingdom, has appointed his brother Jeremy to sign the contract. The deed begins: "Before the notary at the Châtelet in Paris, appeared Horguelin Jeremiah, merchant burghers of the town of Chalons en Champagne, housed in Paris's Rue de Tissanderie, Parish of St. Jean en Greve, Attorney agent Horguelin Abraham, merchant, and his wife Perrette Picart, residing at Chalons, stating the name of their son Jacques Horguelin, merchant in Leipzig, Saxony (...), First.

Religious marriage takes place in the temple of Charenton February 29, 1680. E. Haag gives the following transcript: "Marriage. Jacques Horguelin, banker at Frankfort, the son of Abraham, a merchant in Chalons en Champagne, and Perrette Picart, 30, with Madeleine Bernard, daughter of Samuel, painter, and Madeleine Lequeux. (7)
loans and donations in Leipzig 1700.
German chroniclers relate two facts of social life of Jacques Horguelin in Leipzig. Sievers Hans-Jungen, pastor of the Evangelical Church in Leipzig, wrote:
"In September 1700 (...) the grand chancellor of Saxony did understand that the parish had to make a loan to the King, 7000 Reisthallers. This mark of their devotion facilitate the admission and the effect of their application (be allowed to practice their religion). To keep the amount available to the incessantly Prince, (we decided) it would be provided by 17 people after cy-appointed, namely, Messrs: Jacques
Horguelin ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 777.18
François Leclerc ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .... 777.18
Philippe Dumont ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .... 777.18
Rodolphe and Henri Escher (...) These 17
parishioners should be considered as the founders of our community. " (8)
On another topic, G. Beelitz, Halle, wrote:
"Beyond the refuge, the hope of one day returning to the old country remained very much alive in Halle as elsewhere. The Kaufman Jacques Horguelin of Chalons, donated to the parish of a silver key and 3 cups, but with the formal requirement that such donations would return to Chalons as soon as the Reformed Church would be re-authorized. " (9)
Cornelia Johansen, parishioner of the Evangelical Church in Leipzig, shows that two of these cuts are still used for communion:
"I found engraved initials JH on two cuts that we still use today for communion. Is it the initials of Jacques Horguelin? If so, the parish still uses cuts given by your predecessor for divine service. On the back of a cup is engraved in French: A Reformed Church in Leipzig. " (10)
The family of Jacques Horguelin.
From File and acts Walloon church of the evangelical church in Halle, we can estimate that Horguelin Jacques Bernard and Madeleine had at least five children:
1. Suzanne Madeleine born in Frankfurt in 1681.
2. John Henry, born 1682, died in Halle June 8, 1688.
3. Marie Madeleine, dubbed in Halle 18 May 1688 and was buried June 8, 1688 (the same day that John Henry).
4. Mary, baptized at Halle 7 July 1689 and was buried August 3, 1689.
5. Anne, baptized at Halle 14 August 1690 and was buried January 8, 1691.
Madeleine Bernard died April 8, 1691 and buried in the great cemetery of Halle.
be found in parish registers of the Evangelical Church in Halle, also acts of maternal death and Jacques Horguelin two sisters, sought refuge in this city:
Perrette Picart died Monday, December 24, 1688, aged about 65.
Horguelin Margaret died October 29, 1689, aged 26-27 years.
Horguelin Mary died Sunday, March 26, 1699, aged about 46 years.
Finally, the church of Halle keeps the marriage of Suzanne Horguelin Madeleine, elder daughter of Jacques and Madeleine Bernard. She married at Groskügel near Halle, March 31, 1701, Herman Cochius, "private secretary of State of His Majesty in Berlin .

Letter to Madeleine Bernard Gabriel Lequeux, 1697.
Leipzig, May 22, 1697. "My dearest mother,
In response to your undated dear, I do not complain of having paid for the funeral of my brother Peter, (...). If we must believe what he said to Mr. Horguelin dying, it was long it was far from a soil that had him (...). Next
what I see by your letter, I seems to me that Mr. Horguelin believes that great advantage for having handed over his business, to me, I do not see how this could be. It is true that I bought him his old stock in trade which he did not know what to do, and that in order to have his store, which seemed better than mine, I see no advantage for me in there, otherwise I think he gave me and that's all preference, if you hold that there is great advantage in it, you make me happy to tell me where he could be, so I him ale further obligation.
If you told me that Mr. Horguelin lends me money when I need it, with interest, which is reasonable and following the course here, so I would say as the truth is that I have many obligations, and that I am much indebted for the kindness he has had to pull me through his assistance, the embarrassment that I had been obliged to succumb, it's where I have many obligations and I will never forget, but to me handed his business I do have him as a preference. (...)
My dearest mother, your most humble and obedient son, Gabriel Bernard.

Notes
The French church in Leipzig.
We read in an article by Fr Waddington: "It is probable that during the first years after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, we met (in Leipzig) in Dresden and in small numbers in private homes, to celebrate the Protestant worship; holidays, we went in the nearby city of Halle (30 km) to attend the Last Supper. "
(Bull. of SHPF, 8th year, 1859, page 312).
Apparently, the Leipzig church records begin in 1700. Before that date, birth and death are recorded in Halle, and burials take place at the main cemetery in that city.
The first public place of worship in Leipzig is Auerbachs Hof, downtown. The marriage of Peter and Helen Horguelin Clergeau held at the Hof Auerbachs October 8, 1704.
The exercise of the reformed religion is not yet fully allowed: we read in the marriage: "They have been married (...) not to publish any listing (...) exercise, for then we have been forbidden (...) in the city. "
The second public place of worship is "Das Alte Amtshaus. There will be no other, it seems, before the construction of the present church, which stands on the ring road Tröndlinring. It was designed by the architect Georg Weidenbach and was inaugurated March 12, 1899.
Note: Louis-Isaiah Pajon, grand-son of Margaret Horguelin Pajon, was pastor of the Reformed congregation in Leipzig from 1752 to 1758.
I Samuel Bernard and his family
Samuel I Bernard, the king's painter, born in Paris November 8, 1615, son of Noel Bernard and Madeleine Sevin, married in Paris October 8, 1645, Madeleine Lequeux. They have five children:
1. Samuel II, which follows.
2. Madeleine, who married in 1679 Jacques Horguelin banker in Leipzig.
3. Gabriel, a banker in Leipzig, who married in 1682 Anne Clergeau.
4. Pierre, without alliance.
5. Mary, who married Estienne Soullard, banker in Paris.
Samuel Bernard II (1651-1739), famous banker of the Court of France, married 1st marriage (1681) Madeleine Clergeau, and 2nd marriage (1720) Shamans of Saint Paul.
He has four children:
1. Samuel Jacques, 1686.
2. Gabriel, 1687.
3. A girl who married the Count of Sagone Mansart.
4. Good, 1721, who married Francis Mole, son of Matthew and Nicole the Mole Gorlier
(niece of Edme Horguelin III and Marguerite Gorlier).
Samuel Jacques Bernard, Count of Coubert, married in Paris August 12, 1715, Louise de la Coste of Messelière.
Gabriel Bernard (brother of preceding), earl Rieux, married 1st wedding Happy St. Shamans, and his second wife (1719) Suzanne Boulainvilliers.
Note on the career of Samuel Bernard by Lüthi.
"The career banker of the Court relied on the fact that he knew finding credit on all the places in Europe where the king needed money for his diplomacy, his subsidies or his armies, and that he was the only one to find. Hence he drew the credit? We do not know, but it is certainly not his draper's shop in the Rue Bourg l'Abbé he forsook in 1687 to settle banker. The only plausible hypothesis, although unprovable, is the one whose diary Barbier, at the time of death of the financier (January 1739), echoed: "It is said that his fortune began in disorders of the Huguenots who were forced to retire and he had correspondence for business."
(Herbert Lüthi, "Bank Protestant in France, revocation of the Edict of Nantes to the Revolution", Paris, 1959).
Samuel Bernard and his brothers-bankers, by Rothkrug .
"Bernard profited largely from the fact that other members of his family had chosen to keep their religion and to change his nationality. His brother Stephen Soullard, who was a banker in Paris in 1681, exercised thereafter the same profession in London. Jacques Herquelin (Horguelin), another brother, went to Frankfurt and, subsequently, establish its banking business in Leipzig. Pierre Herquelin (Horguelin), his brother, went to Breslau.
The brother of Samuel Bernard, Pierre, also a banker, went to Frankfurt, and his other brother, Gabriel Bernard fled first in Leipzig and later establishes his bank in Strasbourg. All these people early, coordinated their activities to their mutual benefit. On October 3, 1686, Samuel and his relations Refuge, except Soullard, concluèrent transactions Three amounting to 269,000 pounds, a sum roughly equivalent to half a million dollars today. "
(Lionel Rothkrug, "Opposition to Louis XIV: The Political and Social Origins of the French Enlightenment", Princeton University Press, NJ, 1965.)
Indeed, the central minute by notaries of Paris, found the contract of carriage between Samuel Bernard, a merchant banker in Paris, Jacques Horguelin, merchant banker in Frankfurt and Peter Horguelin, merchant banker in Breslau.
