Good Evening, Does anyone happen to know what the name of the Mother of Elizabeth SYMMES FRENCH is. I do know that her father was William SYMMES. I have Elizabeth b. 1603 and William FRENCH her spouse b. 15 Mar. 1603. But I do not have a marriage date for them. Can someone help me with that also. Any help anyone can be I sure would appreciate. Thanks Birde mailto:Birde@bigfoot.com

I descend from this line of French's and am the last male of my branch, son of Thomas LeRoy French, Jr, grandson of Thomas, Sr., and great-great-great-great-great grandson of Hezekiah who was the first settler at Lincolnville, Maine near Camden. Hail the good ship Defence! Regards.
