Mehurin - Fr. Hughenot family

I am still researching my great grandfather's Russell line. He was Charles William Robins-Russell, adopted son of Alonzo and L.A.Russell of Lowell, Massachusetts (whose natural son was Eugene G. Russell).
I have been trying to connect with his true parentage - father was William J. Robins, a sea captain, and mother was Marie Louise De Mehurin (sp?), a French(?)Huguenot. She was 16 yrs old at the time (1843?) in Boston, Mass. and her mother (a widow who escaped the Old Country with two young daughters to the U.S.) disowned her.
I am trying to fill in the blanks. Any help will be appreciated.
