The Secord family (originally Sicard or D'Secor)[1] was a prominent loyalist American and Canadian family that traces its origins back to Huguenot Ambroise Sicard Sr. The family founded New Rochelle and was heavily involved in the American War of Independence. After the war, much of the family emigrated to Canada and later became involved in the War of 1812.[2]
