Author Budd writes:
"On 29 July 1672, Daniel signed the roster of students at the Protestant Academy of Geneva, Switzerland, under the name Daniel Streing from Orleans, possibly to ensure the safety of his parents in France. In a country dominated by Catholics, The Academe de Geneve was the only place where young Protestants could obtain an education.
"Daniel and Jacques were taken to Paris about 1694 to learn the wholesale wine trade in the cellars of Michel and Guillaume Hubert. Michel Hubert was the maternal uncle by marriage of Charlotte Le Maistre and it was there that Daniel and Charlotte met..."
"The marriage of Daniel Streing and Charlotte Le Maistre seemed to be one of convenience or perhaps it seemed so due to circumstances because for four or five years there were no children. Daniel Streing (in spite of his Protestant beliefs) was an officer in the Royal Guards. Many protestants filled positions in the personal guard of Louis XIV. Charlotte Streing was one of the ladies in waiting upon the Dauphiness Marie de Baviere, the daughter-in-law of Louis XIV. She was often asked to serve her turn of duty at St. Germain and Versailles.
". . .The tale of Charlotte's departure is one of daring and extreme courage. Two versions exist: both tell almost the same details. Whenever Daniel felt that the time was immenent when he should leave his native land, Charlotte was at Versailles. He sent word to her to join him
"The persecution of the Protestants continued and after the Edict was rescended Daniel was forced to flee to England with as much of their property as could be converted into money. He would meet her at a designated point on the coast where he would wait for her as long as possible and they would take a ship to England. The person trusted with the message either could not or did not give it to her for several days and it was several more days before she could leave Versailles..."
"When Charlotte was able to finally reach the shore, she found Daniel (whose property had been confiscated by the King) had not been able to wait for her. She paid the captain of an English vessel to smuggle her out of France in a wine cask used or shipping wines to the wholesaler dealers in London. With a small store of wine in a leather bottle and some bread, along with her clothing and a pillow, she spent almost a fort-night crossing the rough English Channel. The pillow was treasured by her descendants to remind them of their great-grandmother's narrow prison in the hold of a blockade-running vessel.
Daniel and Charlotte lived very comfortably in London where his friends procured for him a Lieutenancy in the Royal Guards of James II. This monarch was also a Catholic...A few months before James II and his Catholic wife were forced to flee to France and place themselves under the protection of Louis XIV, Daniel sold his commission in the Royal Guards and with the proceeds took his wife and young daughter to America."
"Daniel, Charlotte and their daughter Louison (who had been born in London) sailed from England to New York by the way of Boston. Records indicate that their second child, a daughter Clorinda, was born aboard ship; her birth recorded as Boston according to the law of that city. They settled in New York City where he supported his family as a[n] ale-house keeper and by teaching French to boys who wished to enter Yale or Columbia, then known as King's College. On 30 March 1695 he was made a Freeman of that city and the tax rolls Oct 1697 sho[w] his interest in property in the dock Ward.
"The Huguenots living in New York City soon decided to purchase for themselves tract of land upon which they would build their colony...what today is known as the city of New Rochelle, Westchester Co., New York...
"The new city was called New Rochelle in honor of La Rochelle in France, the stronghold of the French protestants which fell before the forces of Cardinal Richelieu..."
"Although Daniel Streing continued to have business and political ties to New Rochelle, sometime before 1704 he moved to Rye where he purchased property and buildings on the southeast corner of Rectory Street and the Boston Post Road. Here he built a tavern which his descendants operated until the 1840's."
"Daniel Streing wrote his will on 16 December 1708 and it was proved 11 Feb 1707...In it, he...leaves everything to his wife, Charlotte, and makes here sole executrix. He was buried in Grace Churchyard, which adjoined his Post Road property. He was recorded as a member in the original minutes of Grace Church (later Christ's Church)."
"In France the name was signed by Daniel and his brother Jacques as String, Streng, Streing, Straing, Strain and even Estrain and Estrang...The third generation as of the 1740's agreed upon Strang and with few exceptions it has been Strang since that time. The spelling L'Estrange dates before 1672."
A sketch of Strang's Tavern appears in the John Budd biography.
Author Budd reports that Charlotte was highly skilled in craft lace, and for three generations her descendants made similar lace "though none was as fine as that wrought in the boudoirs of Versailles."
The will of Charlotte "Steing" is recorded in New York, Liber 9, page 436, dated Oct. 20, 1722. she left to her eldest son, Daniel Streing, her large Bible and ten shillings. She gave her wedding clothes to her three daughters, Clorinda, wife of Samuel Purdy; Charlotte, wife of Roger Park, and Mary Prudence, wife of John Budd. She also gave her grandson, Henry Streing, a lot purchased from George Lane of Rye.
