"Nicolas de Veau married Susanne François . Nicolas and his family escaped from Festubert in Artois probably around 1658, arriving in Mannheim, Germany by 1667. The name of Nicolas de Veau appears in the "Registry of the Fathers of the Families composing the French Church of Mannheim, after . . . the Plague . . . which was halted in 1667." The family does not appear in the earlier Registry for 1666. Nicolas de Veau married Susanne Planq on 25 April 1677 at the French Church, Mannheim, Germany; the church record reads, in translation, Nicholas de Vaux, widower of Susanne Francois, and Susanne Planq, widow of Jeremie Dubois have received the nuptial benediction in our Church the Tuesday, 25 day of April, 1677."
