In 1685 it was revoked by a decree of Louis XIV of France. As a consequence of this act, about 50,000 families of the Huguenots left France and settled in England, Holland, Scotland, and other countries. Some came to America - the New World. Gosne was one family that emigrated to Scotland, England, and America.
