Louis Latané, the refugee in America, took Episcopal orders while in England, and came in 1701 to
Virginia. He
became the minister of South Farnham parish, Essex county, and continued in office until his death
in 1732. He was a
man of blameless life and devoted to the work of the ministry.—(The Huguenots ; or, Reformed

"Mary Dean was Lewis Latane's 3rd wife and they were not married abt 1711. Lewis' 2nd wife was
Phoebe Slaugther, widow of William Peachy.Lewis' first wife, who's name is unknown, is mentioned
in the ship's manifest. The archivist of Queen's College at Oxford University, have no record of
Lewis' marriage, have no record of him completing his course studies (only that he entered
University in 1691), and are unsure of the reference to his father's residence An excerpt from my
correspondance:
Dear Ms Tabor
Thank you for your enquiry. I have checked in Joseph Foster's 'Alumni Oxonienses', a printed
register of all those who
matriculated (ie were admitted to the University) between 1500 and 1714.
I have found an entry for Lewis Latane. The text of the entry is as follows:
Latane, Lewis, son of Henry Latane of "Jouins Anguienne", plebeian. Matriculated from Queen's
College on 24
November 1691, aged 19. The place names are doubtful, but may refer to Jouan in Guyenne,
France.
There is no record of Lewis Latane ever receiving a degree.
Joseph Foster compiled the 'Alumni Oxonienses' cheifly from sources held by the University
Archives so we do not hold any further information on Lewis Latane. However, the colleges in
Oxford maintain their own archives, and it is possible that Queen's College may hold some
additional information on him. Should you wish to contact them, enquiries should be directed to the
archivist, Michael Riordan, at .
Yours sincerely
Emma Marsh
Archives Assistant"

"Dear Ms Tabor,
Lewis Latane entered the Queen's College on 25 July 1691 as a batteler. This meant that he had
to pay for his battels (meaning his bills for accomodation, etc) but not for his commons (meaning
meals eaten in common). According to Foster's Alumni Oxonienses (a register based on university
records) he was the son of Henry Latane of 'Jouins Anguienne' (perhaps a place in France?),
plebeian. He matriculated (i.e. entered the university) on 24 November 1691 and gave his age as
19. I'm afraid this is all the information I have. The fact that Foster does not give a date for a
degree suggests that he did not actually take one. I suggest that you contact the University
Archives (www.oua.ox.ac.uk) who keep records of degrees to confirm this.
I'm sorry that I can't be of further help.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Riordan"

"Have you seen the book, PARSON LATANE', by Lucy Temple Latane'? It was published by The
Michie Co, Printers, Charlottesville, VA, 1936, and is probably out of print. According to Ms.
Latane', Rev. Louis Latane's family was from Nerac, France.
Rev. Lewis Latane, b. 1672, went from France to England in 1685, at about age 13. He was
matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford, 24 Nov 1691, aged 19. He became an Anglican Priest,
went to VA in 1700/01 on the ship, "Nassau", on which he was the leader of a group of 191
Huguenot refugees bound for Manekintown. He, however, went to Essex County, VA, where he
became pastor of the South Farnham Parish, on 5 April 1701, where he preached for 31 years.
(The 1st names on the roll of passengers are: Mons'r Latane', Ministre, Madame sa femme un
Enfan unne Servante.") (The wife is believed to be his 1st wife, and dau, Susannah. He married
2nd Phoebe Slaughter, dau of Phoebe Smith & William Slaughter), in Va. He married 3rd, Mary
Deane.) Letters are mentioned from his brother, Henri Latane, living in London, England in 1726.
Mary Deane was b. in 1685, prob. in/near Lincoln, England. She was a cousin to Col. Beverley of
Blandfield, Essex Co, VA. I have found no record of her parents.
Children of Rev. Lewis Latane:
1. Susannah (by 1st wife, unk.) b. before 1700/01 in England.
2. Charlotte (by 2nd wife, Phoebe Slaughter, who d. abt 1733), m. Abram Montague, 1 son, Lewis
Montegue".

"The first daughter of Rev. Lewis Latane, by the wife who accompanied him to America, was
Charlotte. Susannah was the daughter of Lewis and 2nd wife Phoebe. This is verified by the will of
Lewis, in which he continuously named his daughters in the same order with Charlotte being first,
but is named last in the will fo Phoebe Smith Slaughter, mother-in-law to Lewis Latane. Based on
other records, Charlotte was born about 1700, and Susannah about 1705, Pheobe about 1703 and
Henrietta about 1706"

"Records of the will? http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaessex/llatane.html
From there you have to do the math and deductive reasoning. The Ships record of the of the
Latane family only mentions 1 child.
The Will of Lewis Latane gives the daughters in the same order every time they are mentioned -
and in most cases children were named in order of age - and Charlotee is named first. Also, in
Lewis' will, Charlotte's husband is named, signifying her marriage, but the other daughters are not -
indicating her as the oldest . Lewis also names all daughters except Charlotte in one paragraph
where he mentions his wife - indicating her as the mother of those daughters, but not of Charlotte.
The will of Lewis Latane's mother-in-law Pheobe Slaughter, mentions Lewis' daughters, but in a
different order than the will of Lewis, with Charlotte being named last and with a smaller inheritance,
signifying her probablity of being a step-granddaughter. Then you have to look at each of Lewis
daughters and the ages of their children and back into the ages and probable dates of birth of the
mothers. That leads to the conclusion that Charlotte was the oldest and therefore the daugther of
the immigrant unknown mother. Mary Dean was definitely the mother of John (as in Lewis' will he
names Mary "and our son" John), but Mariann is the daughter I question as to whether she was
Phoebe or Mary's daughter"

"There is no evidence that Charlotte Latane's mother was Susannah, nor of Lewis Latane's first
marriage that I have been able to recover after corresponding with several kind folks at Queen's
College in Oxford University where Lewis entered school in 1691. They have no record of him
graduating or of his marriage. Be careful when referring to family lineages posted on the internet.
Many people will just post information just because, and have no documentation of their information
other than "the internet". I always double check other's research via other records and resources."

"The emigrant ancestor of the Latanes in America was the Rev. Louis Latane, who fled from France
to England at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. He became a student in the
University of Oxford, and was later ordained to the ministry of the church of England by the Bishop
of London. In 1701 he emigrated from England to Virginia and took charge of South Farnham
parish, in Essex county. He was married once before he came to America, and twice afterwards; but
nothing is known of his first or second wife. His third wife was Miss Mary Dean, by whom he had a
son, John Latane, and five daughters. Rev. Louis Latane died in Essex county in 1732"

"Louis Latane a French Huguenot minister and his family arrived in South Farnham Parish about
1701 to become its much loved and respected parson until his death in 1733. During his ministry
the parish moved into its "'golden age" and built the beautiful colonial churches and the brick glebe
house. His education and character as well as his long life among the people of the parish and the
ministry of the two parsons who followed him show conclusively that most of the colonial clergy
served their parishes with honor and courage.'
