| Misc. Notes |
"Jacob moved to Assington ca. 1585/6 or transferred church affiliation there [Assington Parish Register of St. Edmund's Parish, which starts in 1598]. No record of a French family in Bures St. Mary in the 16th Century or prior to Jacob's marriage, but it seems certain that he came from some neighboring village. No record of Susan's burial unless the burial of Susan French, the dau. of Jacob French, on Aug 1, 1613 is in error and she was his wife. No probate records for Jacob have been found in the indexes for the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Archdeaconry Courts of Sudbury, of Essex, or the Consistory Court of Norwich. " [John French,FFA Chart 1]648, v142p250
"Jacob French, was born about 1553 and lived in Assington, Suffolk, England. He is the earliest known French in his line. Parish records are mute on the subject of who Jacob's ancestors were or where they came from. Jacob French and his wife Susan Warren had at least 7 children, including five sons. The only son of Jacob known to come to America was Thomas French, Sr., who immigrated to Massachusetts with his wife Susan Riddlesdale and 7 of their 8 children." [John French, FFA Chart 1] |
