FIRST GENERATION

1. Claudin RUTTAN Furrier was born about 1564 in Saint-Mihiel, Lorraine, France. Died about 1613 in Saint-Mihiel, Lorraine, France.

ORIGINS: "The Ruttan family were huguenots who fled from France after the massacre of St. Bartholomew in 1572 and went to England, then back to Holland where they amassed a large fortune." (Reaman, 1964 pp. 218-219).

ORIGINS: "Dumont, a Judge of Saint-Mihiel, author of Nobiliaraire de Saint-Mihiel, printed in 1864 at Nancy, quotes an earlier author, one Dom Pelletier, who wrote Nobiliiaire de Lorraine, as placing the Rutants among the aristocratic families of France for over a century and as saying that it had been indicated, probably without proof, that the family came from England. Dumont goes on to say that the first of the name in Saint-Mihiel were of the middle class and were entirely engaged in commerce where by there knowledge and energy they prospered. He suggests that the first of the name could have been one Philippe who, in 1506, was a leading draper or cloth merchant. Ferri, said to be a son of Philippe, had a son Jean, who had four sons, Nicolas, Jaques, Jean, and Pierre. Dumont provides biographies of these four and of another member of the family named Florentine, who were enobled by Charles III, Duke of Lorraine, between 1567 and 1599. We are told by Dumont that Jean, in 1554, lent the Town of Saint-Mihiel fifty gold crowns to present to the Duchess of Lorraine and that in 1589 the Abbe of Saint-Mihiel bought from Jaques 'quantities of Buckram and Silk and Gold thread' required by Abbe Merlin for uniforms for his soldiers at the time of the Holy League. Many other Rutants are recorded as being appointed to high civil and military positions. So far as the writer knows, no evidence has been found that proves that the Rutans or Ruttans of America and Canada are direct descendants of the Rutants of Lorraine. But in the final paragraph of his record of Florentine and his family, Dumont states that it was often said that there were in Saint-Mihiel many other Rutants, nobelmen and commoners, who had not been listed in his book for lack of certainty. He mentions one Blaise Rutant, by profession a dealer in trimmings of lace and braid, who being unable to make a living in Saint-Mihiel, obtained permission to move to Metz, which he did in 1608. Dumont adds, 'he was a son of Claude.' Dumont closes by saying that, in 1636 other Rutants, descendants of Ferri, left Saint-Mihiel in order to avoid persecution as Protestants. The earliest documented records of the ancestors of the Rutan or Ruttan family of North america were found in the Saint-Mihiel civil registers of the year 1590 where Claudin Ruttan, furrier, and Catherine, his wife, are recorded as parents of Claude at his baptism on October 19, 1590." (Ruttan, 1986 pp.9-10).

He married Catharine about 1584 in France. Catharine was born about 1568 in Saint Mihiel, Meuse, France.

They had the following children:
+2 i. Blaise RUTTAN
+3 ii. Claude RUTTAN

Claudin married Catherine Unknown. Catherine was born about 1584 in Saint-Mihiel, Lorraine, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Generation 2

2. FLORENTINE (BLAISE)2 RUTANT/RUTTAN (FERRY1 RUTANT) was born 1545 in Metz, Nievre, Bourgogne, France, and died 1560. He married MARGUERITE DECRAON. She was born 1545, and died 1600.

Notes for FLORENTINE (BLAISE) RUTANT/RUTTAN: The following statistics were obtained from papers belonging to Mrs. Abraham R. Rutan, Mrs. James Doty, Mr. Abram A. Rheutan, and Mrs. C. Wilson. Material was obtained from French documents and letters from various French officials.

The Rutan family is of remote antiquity. Proof has been uncovered in France of the family having come from noble blood and of its having been associated with the vicinity of St. Mihiel in Lorraine, and later of Metz in Moselle, during the l5th, l6th, and 17th centuries prior to the coming of the first member of its family to America. Some of the noblest families of France have been those whose names have become associated with Huguenot history and for many years prior to the Reformation their names had become famed for distinguished services, of such a family was the Rutan. Louis Moreri (1614 - 1680), French historian mentions the Rutant (old form of spelling) family as a distinguished one and Dom Pelletier, author of the Nobiliarire of Barrois", classes the Rutants amongst the aristocratic families of France for over a century. Among the first European members of the Rutan, or Rutant family of whom records can be found were Philip and Ferry Rutant. They, and their descendants, were residents of the town of St. Mihiel on the river LaMeuse in Lorraine, now the province of Meuse. The family was well known as drapers, or cloth merchants and manufacturers of laces, cloths, etc.

Child of FLORENTINE RUTANT/RUTTAN and MARGUERITE DECRAON is:

3. i. CLAUDE3 RUTANT/RUTTAN, b. Abt. 1560, Saint-Mihiel, Lorraine, France; d. Abt. 1613, Saint-Mihiel, Lorraine, France.

Florentine married Marguerite Decraon. Marguerite was born about 1545; died about 1600. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
