  6. Johannes PROVOST
Born in France.

He lived in Paris and moved in the society of those of his time who were held in high repute.  He was esteemed for his good qualities.

During the period when the deMedici were in power, he fled from France because of his religious beliefs, the family being Huguenots.

 Escaping death on the eve of St Bartholomew he, with his fiancee, traveled to Holland, where in 1574 they were married.

He had three sons and three daughters.
