The Protestant William III, husband of his daughter Mary, became King of England, Ireland and Scotland. The Royal couple was well known as "William and Mary".

James, Francis, Edward
In 1690, at the battle of the Boyne, in Ireland, James II was defeated by William III. Following this battle, James II fled to France where he was hosted by his cousin, the Catholic King Louis XIV, at the castle of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (more).
The Duc de Gramont, Governor of Bayonne in the Basque Country used to stay at the castle of Saint-Germain-en-Laye since the "Fronde" in 1651 (more).
In 1692, the Duc de Gramont participated (in shares) in the fitting-out of the Aigle as a privateer (more).
On May 1694, the Aigle sailed from Bayonne to Newfoundland with a stop en route at La Rochelle.
On June 1694, a large squadron of 22 vessels and 1500 men sailed from Nantes to attack Jamaica in West Indies. A part of the crew is made of Jacobites "Wild Geese" (more).
On May 23, 1696 the 1st son of Francis LeBaron was born and named James.
Why this 1st son was not named Francis, as his father, as usual in France at this time ?On December 26, 1698 the 2nd son of Francis LeBaron was born and named Lazarus.
On June 13, 1701 the 3rd son of Francis LeBaron was born and named Francis.
On August 8, 1704 Francis LeBaron died and we can read on his tombstone "FRANCIS LE.BARRAN" (instead of LEBARON). Could it be a "writing error" ?
BARRAN, is a first name and last name from Ireland.
