William FINCH, b. c1730, (PA? MA? Eng?) is said to have been in PA before 1750, then soon after that he was in Newport RI. He married, 1753 Newport, Margaret Topham. He was a mariner, as were his 6 sons -- 4 of whom were lost at sea. The Finch house still stands in Newport, with an historical plaque on it indicating it was build by Wm Finch. I have some data on some of the families allied with this family, and will be happy to share what I have if anyone is interested in this line. Doris....A Texan in Georgia..... Still shaking the family tree and dodging the nuts after 30+ years!
