The Tennessee Branch
The Huguenot Society of the Founders
of Manakin
in the Colony of Virginia
The Tennessee
Branch is the state organization of the Huguenot Society of the
Founders of Manakin in the Colony of Virginia and is composed of three chapters.
Captain Nicholas Martiau Chapter -- West Tennessee
Jean Pierre Bondurant Chapter -- Middle Tennessee
William Witt Chapter -- East Tennessee.
We welcome prospective
members and are ready to assist prospects with their genealogy and applications.
Searching for your Huguenot ancestors is a fulfilling effort and membership
a pride, but the
lasting result is knowing that you descend from a courageous and dedicated
French Huguenot.
