Notes
a. Note:   HISTORY John French, may have been born in England, he probably came with his wife to America about 1635, settling in Cambridge, MA. He did not immigrate with his brother, William French. We do not know where either John or William were born, nor do we know the names of their parents. In 1637 he was listed as a property owner, and in 1642, was on a list of proprietors of Cambridge. He is mentioned in church records, 1638-39-40. By trade he was a tailor. Both he and his wife died during an epidemic in the winter of 1645/6 leaving five children: Mary, John, Sarah, Joseph and Nathaniel; the oldest was 11 years old and the youngest 2. Another family tradition has it that he was killed by an arrow while standing in his doorway eating an ear of corn. The children were brought up by his brother, Lt. William French (Chart #2) who first lived in Cambridge, then moved to Billerica, MA, about 1654 where 30 acres in this new settlement had been set apart on Jun 9, 1652 for these five orphans.1
  The baptism of all five children is indicated in the Cambridge, MA Vital Records (First Congregational Church) but no dates are included Source: The Hartland French Family, compiled by Rev. Hollis M. French, 1968, submitted by FFA member Vernon French.
