Was banished from France by the Catholics and fled to Calvinist Scotland about the middle of the seventeenth century. His property was confiscated but his brothers and relatives who remained Catholics in France sent means to Scotland for his living.

By 1640 he had moved to Melrose, Scotland where he married Agnes von Hapsburg. They had three sons: William (1642), John (1645), and Alexander (1648).

The family moved to County Antrim, Ireland, between 1662 and 1668 during the persecution of Protestants in Scotland.
