There was, however, one r.hxas of settlers as sharply distinguished in their social life as in their language and nativity from the Dutch and English. These were the worthy and admirable Huguenots, the French Protestant exiles, who came into the county so early in its history and gave to their settlement the name of New [Rochelle, in memory of the ancient French city which had been the scene of their most lustrous glory and most poignant suffering. ' Mainly welleducated men and women, skilled artisans and good citizens, no acquisition to the colony was more valuable. Of the first house which they built, Rev, L. J. Coutant has given a graphic description. It was erected upon the point now known as Hudson's Park. Mr. Coutant writes, --

" During the pleasant weather of the autumnal months (circa 1G90), a house was built on Bonnefoy's Point, -- not a very commodious one, nor yet very elegant in its architectural design. An excavation was made in the earth to tlie depth of five or six feet, and faced around with stones, after the manner of building cellar-walls at the present day, preparatorjto the erection of the supei-structure. On these stone walls were placed logs, in successive tiers, until a desirable height was reached sufficient to make one story above ground and a large garret for a sleeping apartment.
