Hi Marion, Don't thinnk we have the same Jeremiah - although I do have several of them. They include a Capt Jeremiah son of Jeremich and Hannah (Edwards) French b 8JUL1743 Strafford CT d 5DEC1820 m Elizabeth Wheeler. This Jeremiah, my genealogy says ..."spent his boyhood in Dover, Dutchess Co., NY About 1764 he removed to Manchester, Bennington Co. VT.." He was the Town clerk there 1768-73; selectman 1773, constable 1774. Enlisted 15JUL 1777 as Captain of the 4th Company of the Queen's Loyal Rangers, serving with the British army in Canada to 1783 - Opps, wrong side. Another was born in 1762 I believe in Sussex Co NJ and another in Anwell NJ same year. He served in the revolution, but there doesnt seem much more about him, Another may be a tad too late b 19AUG 1764 Ripton Parish, Huntington, Fairfield Co. CT d 11FEB 1835 in Williston VT Couldn't find any of the other names in my book - Gildersleeve or Van Gorder - nor a Mary E French at or about the date you mentioned Bill French Houston TX
