Abraham LaFevre was born in Etaples, Picardy, France in 1625. Étaples takes its name from having been a medieval staple port (stapal in Old Dutch), from which word the Old French word Estaples derives.
Abraham's spouse, Antoinette Jeerian, was born in France in 1628. From this marriage, I know of two of their children, both born in Etaples.
