his first wife he had two sons, Browne Duthais (who died before 1664), and a third Daniel Duthais.
Duthoit.
It might be supposed that this surname was not a distinct one, but only another form of Duthais. But the names are quite different. Duthoit was a refugee surname both in Norwich and in Canterbury, and was sometimes spelt Du Toict Estienne Duthoit was an ancien of the Canterbury French Church; he was born in May 1600, and died in April 1680. The name frequently appears in the registers. There was a second Estienne, probably the elder’s son. A representative is Jonathan Duthoit, who was elected Director of the French Hospital of London on 5th July 1873.
Hamon.
Hamon is one of the first surnames to which I called my readers’ attention, Hector Hamon being the first refugee pasteur of Canterbury (in 1567), and both his names having been borne by a cavalry officer of the British army in 1725. The gallant major, however, may have been descended from a later refugee, for Isaac Hamon was naturalized in 1688 (see my vol. ii., list xiv.). During the time of the ancient pasteur there was a family of his name in Canterbury, as appears from Robert Nowell’s Spending-of-the-money. Among the recipients of his bounty there were poor scholars of divers grammar-schools, one of whom was William, son of Nicholas Hamon of Canterbury. I quote the entries concerning him, the first of which is undated, following an item dated 17th November 1570, and preceding an item dated 1569.

Harber.
In 1611 we meet with “feu Hugues Harber” in the Du Quesne pedigree, and we meet him in the Bulteel pedigree as “Hugh Herbert of Norwich,” with this note: “the sd Hugh, a stranger born in Henault.” He was either a deacon or an elder, and signed the Book of Discipline on 14th June 1593 as Hugue Herbert. Another member of the family was registered as “Herber.”
