Abt. 1567 in Terling Essex England. I actually have 2 French lines but am at a dead end on one. But but here is my Richard French line: Richard FRENCH B. ABT. 1567 Terling, Essex, England Richard FRENCH B. 29 Dec 1597 Terling, Essex, England M. Elizabeth FULLER B. 19 Jan 1606 Richard FRENCH B. ABT. 1627 Coggeshall, Essex, England M. Martha DANFORTH B. ABT. 1629 Framington, Plomesgate, Suffolk, England Joseph FRENCH (Lt.) B. 1649 Marshfield, Plymouth Co. MA M. Elizabeth KNIGHT B. 18 Oct 1655 Newbury, Essex Co.

MA (He is a descendant of William White, a Mayflower passenger) >From there the line "daughters out" but then joins back up with another French line that continures down to my grandmother who was a French. Confusing sometimes! It took me awhile to figure it out but it's clear when you have it on a chart. Does anyone else have this same line that goes this way to the Whites? Nancy Northern Michigan Interesting, my earliest FRENCH ancestor was Richard B.

Hi Mara, I have read that Joseph FRENCH was born in Marshfield, Plymouth Co. MA in several GEDCOM files with this source: Title: Families of Cavendish, Vol 3 Author: Linda Margaret Farr Welch/Cavendish Historical Society - Cavendish, VT Note: The Early Settlers of the Black River Valley in Windsor County, Vermont. A Social and Genealogical History Source Media Type: Book Page: 196 And also have seen the Latter Day Saints, Family History Library listed as a source also. Here's a website of Richard French who lists his birthplace as Marshfield or Cambridge, MA http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~frenchrl86/ Where do you have him born? Cambridge? I don't have it written in stone of course, as Don was saying, I use pencil! Are you descended from this line also? Nancy Where did you get the data that Joseph was born in Marshfield?
