I've chased a few web trees backwards today and found that the data for this profile allegedly comes from author, historian and genealogist Marjorie Smeltzer-Stevenot (1910-2009) but no reference is given on any online trees to which of Marjorie's works the data may be from.

Must be an article - I did a library search with no luck

1584 Walloon refugees established a church at Leyden, Holland, in
1584.
James Riker, REVISED HISTORY OF HARLEM (1904), p.74. 1585 In the
writings on "The Troubles brought to Valenciennes on account of Heresies,"
one notes that the names De la VIGNE and CUVELIER (the latter the French
equivalent of the Dutch CUVILJE) frequently occur in the index of victims of
the Spanish Inquisition. Surviving relatives likely fled religious
persecution to tolerant Holland. There, a Jean de la VIGNE served as
Amsterdam's Walloon dominie from 1585 to 1622; and there, in 1613 or
earlier, a Guillaume de la VIGNE and Adrienne CUVELIER evidently found
employment in expanding Dutch Commerce, and their names became Dutchified.

So apart from same last name is there any documented link between Jean and Guilluame?

I dont like the mention of 1613 as to me it looks like attempt to massage the facts into fitting the now debunct legend of Jan Vigne being born on Manhattan in 1614
