{1} Despain-Dispain-Despaigne Lineage
The Despain lineage traces back from America into London, England (Despaine); then into Canterbury, England (Despaigne); and earlier into Walloon Flanders, which at the time was the southern part of a county of the Netherlands (Low Countries). There is a genealogy of some of the descendents of Jean Despaigne with more to say about his possible origins on this website.
