James De Hague (†1750) was probably baptised as Jacques, son of Jean (John) Dehague and Elizabeth Cattau/Cateau. These grandparents were present at Jacques' baptism on 12 Jan. 1672-3 in Norwich. Jacques had sisters Mary, baptised on 19 Juill. 1668, and Elizabeth, baptised on 24 Oct. 1670. Jacques' father may have been baptised in Norwich in the 1630s as son of Jan de Hague/Deshague. Jean (John) de Hagie, fils de Jean, et Mary (!) Cateau had announced their intended marriage on 17 April 1659 in Norwich. This seems to be a mistake; both James and Elisha De Hague had a wife named Mary, but John's wife was named Elizabeth Cateau.
