Notes:
in the ancestral file it shows Marquis Calmes married to Winnifred Waller, and Marquis' father as Marquis born in 1675 in France. Need to find out which is the right dad. It showed he died in Virginia, which could be right--but need to find out right person.IGI I had for an originial place of birth London, England but maybe France
