Decendant of the French Huegenots, DANIEL1 LEVAN (also spelled Levandt) was born in Picard y, France1, and died in Amsterdam, Holland2. He married MARIE BEAU in Picardy, France. The Huguenots were French Protestants who agreed with German Martin Luther and Frenchman John Calvin in their protests against the traditions and dogmas of the Romman Catholic Church. John Calvin was born in 1509 at Noyon, France in the Province of Picardy where Daniel and Marie Beau were born. As many other Huguenots did after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, the LeVans fled to Amsterdam and affiliated themselves with the Amsterdam Refugee Church of the Walloons who had already arrived in Holland. Daniel and his wife possibly had 3 more children, namely, Barbara, Jesse and Peter who remained with their parents and never migrated as did the other siblings. In the summer of 1727 Daniel LEVAN embarked at Rotterdam in the good ship `William and Sarah', Captain William Hill. The ship touched port at Dover, England, and then started on the long voyage to Philadelphia, where it arrived early in September . . . There were upwards of three hundred persons on the ship, of which 117 were males over sixteen years of age, and of this number sixty-two were ill on board at the time of arrival, and four had died on the voyage. Those who were well signed the Declaration, and the sixty-two, who were ill, were signed by the Clerk of the Board of the Provincial Council held at Philadelphia, September 21, 1727. Among the latter so signed was that of Daniel LEVAN.' ' (See p. 1190, Montgomery's ' 'Hist. & Biog. Annals of Berks Co., Pa., 1909). BIOGRAPHY: Notes for DANIEL LEVAN: Levan Family Book, by Warren Patten Coons says: ' 'The LeVan Family were among the refugees who fled from France to Holland, probably after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). F amily tradition says they were manufacturers of brocade andtaffetas in their native country , and that they were of considerable wealth' ' , also Rev. A. Stapleton, in his ' 'Memorials of t he Huguenots in America' ', pub. in 1901, & now out of print, says,--' 'About 1715 four sons of the refugee (Daniel LeVan)set out for Pennsylvania. They were Abraham, Isaac, Jacob & Joseph , the latter of whom died at sea. These were followed in 1727 by their bro. Daniel, & all of whom settled in the limits of Berks County (Pa.), also ' 'Morton L. Montgomery, in his ' 'Historical and Biographical Annals of Berks County, Pa.' ', pub. 1909, says, p 608, --' 'The family (L evan) was founded in Americaby three bors., Jacob, Isaac, & Abraham, who fled from their nati ve land in 1715 to escape persecution & came to Pa.' ' Chart for Some Probable Descendants of Daniel Levan (c1705-1777). Daniel Levan arrived 18 Sep 1727 at Philadelphia PA on ship William and Sarah. Settled near his earlier arriving brother Jacob Levan in the area now known as Maxatawny Twsp, Berks County PA. Daniel was a German speaking French Huguenot. The Huguenots were Protestants and were refugees from Roman Catholic France and French controlled areas. They left and/or were expelled during the frequent religious conflicts and wars of that time period. The Levans were staunch members of the Reformed (Protestant) faith. See the book ' 'The Trail of the Huguenots' ' by Dr. G. Elmore Reaman for more about the Huguenots. The Levan family is listed therein as a Huguenot family which first fled to Amsterdam, Holland in the late 1600's. Descendants then later resettled in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in the early 1700's. The Huguenots were attracted to Pennsylvania for the religious freedom it offered. Daniel LEVAN and Marie Beau, was born May 20, 1698, and was baptized by Monsieur H. Colviens in the presence of Abraham Fabre and Susanna LEVAN as witnesses. A baptismal certificate, with the above record, was made out at Amsterdam the 18th of September, 1751, by Josias Belisargne, ' 'ancien' ' or Clerk of said church, and was evidently secured by post from Holland by Abraham LEVAN, son of Daniel LEVAN and Marie Beau, who, in 1751 was located in Oley Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania. The original transcript of this baptism is now (1927) in the possession of Miss Hester MOYER LEVAN, 1020 Chestnut St., Reading, Pa., a great-great-great-granddaughter of said Abraham LEVAN. BIOGRAPHY: Nantes, Edict of, decree giving partial religious freedom to the Huguenots (Frenc h Protestants), proclaimed by Henry IV, king of France, in 1598 and revoked by Louis XIV in 1 685. The Edict of Nantes ended the series of religious wars between Catholics and Protestants tha t ravaged France from 1562 to 1598. During these wars, several ineffective treaties were conc luded, embodying privileges for the Huguenots. The Edict ofNantes included the religious pro visions of these treaties and added a number of others. By the terms of the edict, the Huguenots were granted liberty of conscience throughout France . They were allowed to build churches and hold religious services in specified villages and t he suburbs of any city except episcopal and archiepiscopalcities, royal residences, and with in a 5-mile radius of Paris; Huguenot nobles were permitted to hold services in their homes . Followers of the faith were granted civil rights and the right to hold official positions . Four universities orschools (at Montauban, Montpellier, Sedan, and Saumur) were permitte d to be Huguenot. A special court, composed of ten Catholics and six Protestants, called th e Chambre de l'Edit (Chamber of the Edict) was established for Huguenot protection inthe par liament of Paris; subsidiary chambers were established in the provincial parliaments. Hugueno t pastors were paid by the government, as were Catholic priests. As a guarantee of protection , 100 fortified cities (places de sret) weregiven to the Huguenots for eight years. The provisions of the Edict of Nantes were never fully carried out, even during the reign o f Henry IV. Its political clauses were abrogated by Cardinal Richelieu, chief minister of Kin g Louis XIII, in 1629. Persecution of the Huguenots resumedduring the reign of Louis XIV, pa rticularly after 1681. When the edict was revoked four years later, hundreds of thousands o f Huguenots were forced to flee France and take refuge in Protestant countries.
