I have recently come upon the possibility that there is a SEBRING-MOORE-FRENCH connection in early 1700s in NJ and later as indicated in subject. Seems that Joseph (I) FRENCH m. 1722 Allee ____ in Shrewsberry, NJ. They had a son, Joseph (II) who m. 1749 Hannah HORN. Joseph and Hannah had a first son whom they named Lafford. There are multiple spelling of this name, one of which is Leffert. In a search of a relative who might carry the name in one of its forms I have come across Leffert SEBRING who was probably connected in an undetermined way with the FRENCHs and the MOOREs who were inter married. Having examined several generations back from Lafford FRENCH in all lines, I have found only one minor clue and that is that Allee _____ may have been a SEBRING, thus opening the possibility that it was through the SEBRINGs that the Leffert name came forward to the son, Lafford, of Joseph (II) and Hannah (Horn) FRENCH. Joseph and Hannah had four sons, Lafford, William, Joseph (III) and Simon, and two daughters, Sarah and Mary, who married brothers, Hugh and William MOORE, respectively. I am addressing the SEBRING and MOORE Lists to determine if anyone can connect to FRENCHs in NJ in the early 1700s. Best regards, Hugh
