This diverse party of refugees, many of whom had immigrated to Dutch Brazil from hither and yon, brought memories of persecution as well as cultures of diversity and liberty of consciousness with them to Guadeloupe. Nevertheless, as non-Catholics in the French Antilles, their position was not secure, and they again faced the prospect of expulsion in 1664. Many Protestants were dispersed to North America and elsewhere. Louis died in 1664, and it is not clear whether this was in Guadeloupe or Rotterdam.  
Willem (now Guillaume) and Pieter (now Pierre), remained in Guadeloupe and were eventually numbered among the convertis, religious converts for economic convenience. Willem was naturalized in 1667 and Pieter in 1672. In 1670, Willem was condemned for contraband trading with the Dutch colony of Sint Eustatius. In 1678, Pieter made his fortune the old-fashioned way, marrying a twice-widowed Dutch woman, Catherine van Eybergen. Her first husband was the aforementioned Lieutenant Classen, with whom she had two sons and from whom she inherited the sugar plantation in Montagne Bellevue, Basse-Terre, that Pierre renamed after himself when she died. With her second husband, Nicolas van Houten, she had one daughter and, with Pieter, a son, Pierre de Bologne (1678-1744), Saint-Georges's grandfather. In 1701, Pierre married a woman of Basque descent, Catherine d'Hirigoyen (born in 1680). As a matter of fact, Georges de Bologne de Saint-Georges (1707-1774), SaintGeorges's father, was the first in the family to formally marry someone French, Jeanne-François Méricane (1722-1801). She was from the area of Grenade, north of Toulouse, along the vital inland navigation corridor of the Garonne River and the Canal Royal de Languedoc (now called the Canal du Midi), that connected trade on the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
