    3. Judy Bajorek has done a great job in compiling Chart #7. In doing so, our goal is to have all data about all male ancestors on this line as become available thru research. Several descendants of Stephen French that are online state only one general male line or one female line that goes down to the compiler. Thank you for your support. Mara http://www.frenchfamilyassoc.com/FFA/CHARTS/Chart%20007/Chart007.htm Stephen French may have arrived in Boston Bay on the "Mary and John" ship on 30 May 1630 from England, afterwhich he resided in Weymouth, MA, the first immigrant of this line in America, and the first one of the surname French to arrive in America. The Winthrop Fleet, in which Thomas French arrived from Assington, Suffolk Co., England, arrived two weeks after the Mary and John. The Mary and John Passenger List does not name him; however, his name is listed on the Mary & John Clearing House List B of those who were probable passengers aboard the ship in 1630. He is listed there as 29 years old and from Misterton, Somerset Co., England. Also shown is his wife, Mary, age 27, along with their daughter, Sara French, age 7. Sara would have been born in 1623, but this child is not listed in Dorchester. These three are the only ones listed from Misterton on the ship records. According to Judy Bajorek, this child d. 14 Jan 1642/43 in Weymouth, MA.
