Secord family

Last updated

The Secord family (originally Sicard or D'Secor) [1] was a prominent loyalist American and Canadian family that traces its origins back to Huguenot Ambroise Sicard Sr. The family founded New Rochelle and was heavily involved in the American War of Independence. After the war, much of the family emigrated to Canada and later became involved in the War of 1812. [2]

Origins

The family originally came from La Rochelle in France, where the name was Sicard or D'Secor. The ancient origins of the family are unknown, and although several theories have emerged, nothing has been proven. [3] Ambroise Sicard Sr. came over with his 5 children, became successful in Lumbering, and along with other Huguenot families, escaping religious persecution in France, founded New Rochelle. [3] [4] When the American War of Independence divided the family, those who sided with the British anglicized the name to Secord. [5] [6]

R. Kirk Moulton researched the family and published his findings in a seven-installment series published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record . He concluded that all families of Secord in America are descended from this Ambroise Sicard. [7]

Ambroise Sicard Sr.

Ambroise Sicard was born in Mornac sur Seudre, Saintonge (Charente-maritime), France. He worked in salt fields and owned a Vineyard worth 40 pounds. Sicard was a Huguenot, and he and his children fled France in 1686, although it is unknown how they made their way to New York. In 1688, Sicard settled in New York City, where he was one of the original founders of the French church in New York. The first entry in its records is of the Baptism of Sicard's granddaughter Madeline. In 1692 he moved and was a founder of New Rochelle. In New Rochelle, he acquired several tracts of land and was active within the church and the government. On February 6, 1696, Sicard swore Allegiance to King William and Queen Mary of England. Ambroise Sicard died in about 1712 and left behind 5 children. [8] [7]

Military Service

Revolutionary War

In 1775 there was a meeting held on April 13 in Westchester County to determine whether or not they should send delegates to a provincial convention in New York. 312 inhabitants, including Elias, Benjamin, Francis, Israel, and Joshua Secord, signed their allegiance to the King, and refused to send delegates. [6]

Most of the Secord family were loyalists, with seven serving in Butler's Rangers, [10] during the American War of Independence; however, the family was divided. [11] [2] Most Huguenots sided with Britain because of her help in escaping France. [4] After the war, many of the Loyalist Secords were wanted by the Americans for their involvement in the Cherry Valley massacre and the Wyoming Massacre and fled to Canada. [12]

Secord would not allow it, to which the Chief replied, "I kill them or kill you," as he thrust his spear through Secord's coat. David Secord became a major during the War of 1812. [2]
