Matthew Fontaine Maury - Scientist,
Curmudgeon, Confederate
by Ted Fisher
Historical Background
The roots of the Fontaine and Maury
families extend back to the Reformation in a France beset with religious turmoil
between a Catholic majority and a Huguenot (Protestant) minority during the 16th
and 17th centuries. The massacre in Wassy on March 1, 1562 ushered in the
beginning of the first Wars of Religion which were instigated by Catherine de
Medici, Queen of France who influenced 3 kings on the French throne. In 1663,
during the reign of Charles IXth, Jean de la Fontaine and his wife (ancestors of
Matthew Fontaine Maury) were murdered. On August 24th, 1672 occurred the St.

Huguenots property at the victims expense. The troops were encouraged to
ill-treat, steal, beat and rape those on whom they were billeted to compel them

giving Protestant ministers 15 days to leave France or be sent to the gallows,
prohibiting Huguenot schools, Compulsory baptism of all children and enforced
Catholic education, confiscation of all goods of those leaving France and
