Jean de la Vigne was born in France, sometime in the mid-16th century. Other than his name, we know nothing at all about him. His son, Guleyn Vigne, was born about 1585, in St. Waast La Haute, Valenciennes, Nord, France. According to the Huguenot Society of America, Guleyn came to New Amsterdam in 1632. His wife, Ariaentje Cuvilje, was also from France although I am uncertain whether they met in Europe or New Amsterdam. Jean's death date is uncertain, but Ariantje died in New Amsterdam in May of 1655.

The children of Guleyn Vigne and Ariantje Cuvilje were:

1. Maria Vigne (1610-1670). Her first husband was Jan Roos, born in New Amsterdam in 1632. With him she had:
   • Gerrit Jansen Roos (1625-1698), who was in turn the father of:
     • Johannes Roos (b. 1656)
     • Pieter Roos
   Maria Vigne's second husband was Abraham Isaac Ver Planck, who was born in Holland in 1606. He died in 1691 in New Amsterdam. With him she bore:
   • Abigail Ver Planck, b. 1632. She married Adrieaen Vanlaer.
   • Guleyn Verplanck, b. 1637. He married Hendrickhe Wessels.
   • Catalyn Verplanck, b. 1639. She may have died young.
   • Isaac Verplanck, born 1641. He died young.
   • Susanna Verplanck, born 1642. She married Maren Vanwaert.
   • Ariaentje Verplanck, born 2 Dec 1642. She married Meigert Wynant Vanderpool (1646-1710) and had:
     • Melgert Vanderpool, b. 1670. He appears in Kenderhook, NY on the 1720 census.
     • Maria Vanderpool, b. 1672
     • Trinke Vanderpool, b. 1675
     • Abraham Vanderpool, b. 1680
     • Wynant M. Vanderpool, b. abt 1683
     • Geleyn Vanderpool, b. abt 1685
     • Jacobus James Vanderpool, b. 1687
     • Hendrick Vanderpool, b. 2 Jun 1689
     • Wilhelm Vanderpool, b. 1693
   • Jacomyntje Verplanck, b. 1644. She died young.
   • Catalyn Verplanck, b. 1646.
   • Hillegard Verplanck, b. 1648
   • Isaac Verplanck, b. 1651.
2. Christina Vigne, born about 1610 (this would make her Maria's twin). She was born in France (although some sources indicate Holland); she died in Bushwick, New Amsterdam about 1663.
3. Guleyn Vigne (1625--??)
4. Jan Vigne (1614-1689). He married Emmentje Goosen Vanderslys. Jan was a brewer by profession.
5. Rachel Vigne (1617-1662). According to the Yearbook of the Holland Society 1900, she was born in New Amsterdam, an impossibility if Guleyn did not arrive there until 1632. Obviously one of the sources is mistaken. Rachel married Cornelius Van Tienhoven and had:
   • Johnannes Van Tienhoven
   • Jannekin Van Tienhoven
   • Lucas Van Tienhoven, born 17 Jan 1648/9 in New Amsterdam; died 1714 in New Amsterdam. He married Tryntje Broading (b. Nov 1651) and had:
     • Sarah Van Tienhoven (1680-1741). She died in Lower Bank. Her husband was Joost Joseph Sooy, one of the original inhabitants of Lower Bank in Burlington County. The Sooy Page will have more information on this line.
     • Cornelia Van Tienhoven, who married John Haldron and had:
       • William Haldron, b. 16 May 1708 in Harlem

       • Cornelius Haldron, b. 1721 in Harlem
       • Hester Haldron, b. 1723 in Harlem. She married Willaim Winter (b. 1720).

       • Johnannes Evertszen
