News and Reviews
Published by the members of the Freer-Low Family Association, New Paltz, NY
For a number of reasons, we are certain that Hugo Freer moved from Herly-en-Boulonnois to Mannheim in 1655 and left Mannheim in 1675.
The last time Hugo and his second wife, Jeanne Wibau, of the French Reformed Church in Mannheim was 1674.
When the Huguenots moved to Mannheim, they signed twenty year contracts which were to
their advantage. They agreed to start businesses and manufacturies which would help the economy, they were exempt from military service and they received tax concessions. At the time of their arrival, Mannheim had been decimated by war. Wolves roamed the streets, the economy had failed and the city fathers were encouraging emigration. The Huguenots fulfilled these requirements and were permitted to leave in 1675 with all their goods and money, and without paying the exit tax.
We know that Hugo, Jeanne and three sons traveled in the company of members of other families-familiar names such as Hazebrouck, Deyo, DuBois and Blanchan. The trip began in Rotterdam, then to Amsterdam, then England where they embarked in April 1675 for America. Eventually they arrived in Boston, then sailed to New York and up the Hudson River to Esopus, arriving in July 1675 where they were welcomed by John Hazebrouck who had arrived two years earlier and was established in Hurley.
From the history/genealogy of the Frere family written in the 1600's, it appears that Hugo was born circa 1640 which would have had him aged about fifteen years old when he left France.At that young age he was probably accompanied by an adult, perhaps a brother, uncle or cousin. A Francois Frere was a baptismal sponsor for one of Hugo's sons in Mannheim, and may have been that person.
Contrary to some ridiculous information being perpetuated on the internet, there is absolutely no proof that Hugo was smuggled out of France in a wine barrel, or that he traveled on the ship "The Spotted Cow". No passenger list is available, but we do have access to a journal written during that period by Abraham Hazebrouck which has provided much information.
