*Princess ? Margaret . Born in 1685 in Conde, France and died in 1786 in New Hanover County, NC; She was about 101.
**DeVane book states that Thomas DeVane left France for the American colonies. Margaret was prohibited from sailing on the ship with him, so she cut her hair and wore boys’ clothing and sailed with Thomas as his page (boy servant). They landed in NC.
Said that Margaret may have been the niece of Louis II Bourbon-Conde (Great Conde). If so then his parents would have to be her Grandparents. Knowing this maybe tracing back to Louis I and his brother Antoine, who fathered Henry IV, King of France. May tell who Margaret’s parents were. Louis II did have a brother, Armand Bourbon-Conti and a sister, Genevieve Bouron-Conde. Armand did not have a daughter named Margaret, and Genevieve had a child from an affair with Francois VI, while married to Henri II d’Orleans. Maybe this child is Margaret?
**After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, by King Louis of France, in 1685, many of the Protestants and Huguenots fled France for their lives. As an underworld of feudal estate owners who were Protestants, having been disenfranchised, they were very bitter. There was much killing of both Catholics and Protestants, which wete the seeds of the later French Revolution. Thomas DeVane, his wife Margaret Conde, and Thomas’ brother James DeVane Sr. was granted by patent from the British government, first in 1734 and until 1756 had granted 1840 acres in New Hanover, North Carolina. He was a very large plantation owner and owner of many slaves. Source: DeVane Family Records; By: Roberta M. Cobb; Plant City, Florida October 12, 1968.
From Wiregrass V 8, notation:
Thomas DeVane, father of Major John DeVane, died at 110 years of age at his home on South River near Wilmington, NC. Date of newspaper notice was March 1798.

"There came with William the Conqueror from Normandy to England a man later referred to as "John Colquette". By the year 1500, the name was being known as "Colquitt" with variations."
"From the earliest recorded English data concerning this family, the men were surveyors, and 'those who went early to America continued to follow this profession'. The seat of at least on branch of the Colquitt family was Hull Parish, Yorkshire, England. Others were early in County Cornwall and still others were early in Isle of Guernsey, Channel Islands."
"The first of this family to go to America were John Colquitt (called John Colquitt, Sr.) and his four brothers, Henry, James, Robert and Samuell. Brothers John and James went first to James City County, Virginia, and there began their surveys being as of 5 June, 1646 at James City, where the poor scribes entered the name as Cocket5, Cockett, and Cocquett."
"John Colquitt, Surveryor in Customs, Hull, 1699. Served with Cromwell and the Rump."
