Christian and Marguerite Jacob are our immigrant ancestors. During the French persecution of the Huguenots in 1752, a group of 47 Alsatians tried to escape France for Germany, but were arrested. Faaced with the choice of a life of slavery and imprisonment or conversion to the Catholic religion and exile to Louisiana, the group chose life in an unknown place. The exiles arrived in New Orleans aboard the "Cameleon" on 8 September 1753. Christian Jacob, his wife, two sons and four daughters were in this group.
