FIFTH GENERATION 47 
     
    
   
   
    
     family of La Rochelle, one of the most important and ancient ” of that city. Its 
     
     different branches were known by names taken from the numerous‘ ‘seigneuries ” 
     
     which they possessed. They were descended from Pierre Baudouin, Ecuyer, Sieur 
     
     de la Laigue, who married the daughter of Jean Bureau, mayor of La Rochelle, 
     
     in 1448. The Baudouins were among the first disciples of the Reformed faith. 
     
     Several of them distinguished themselves by services to the Protestant cause. 
     
     In consequence of the severities practiced toward the Protestants, Pierre Bau— 
     
     douin left France and took refuge 1n the city of Dublin. Later he was induced 
     
     to come to America, and settle 1n Maine, where he received a grant Ofland. He 
     
     came to Boston in 1690, with his two sons, Jean and James. Jean, the elder, 
     
     afterwards removed to Virginia, where his descendants may still be found. It 
     
     was his granddaughter, Mary Preeson Bowdoin, who married Thomas Hazard. 
     
     James Bowdoin, Governor Of Massachusetts, was descended from Pierre, through 
     
     James Bowdoin. It is from this branch of the Bowdoin family that Bowdoin 
     
     College takes its name, as well as the square and street of that name in Boston. 
     
     Mary Preeson (or Preston) Bowdoin Hazard died, in Rhode Island, April 17, 
     
     1760. The inscription on her gravestone reads, “She was a loving and kind 
     
     wife.” It is from this marriage that the Watsons, Updikes, and other Nar- 
     
     ragansett families are descended. 
     
    

    
     Thomas Hazard married, secondly, Eunice, daughter of William and Mary 
     
     (Sheldon) Rhodes, and great— granddaughter of Roger Williams. She was born 
     
     December 12, 1741, and died January 22, 1809. From this marriage the Has- 
     
     zards now living in Prince Edward Island are descended.
