History
and Background
Edward French, 1598, emigrated from England in 1636;
Salisbury, MA; S. Hampton, Kingston, Chester, Candia, NH; Gardiner, Augusta,
Hallowell, Fayette, Chesterville, Belfast, Mt.
Vernon, ME; Bridgewater, Hartford, Andover, VT. Edward and Ann French Family of
Salisbury, MA. This chart was originally researched by Harry
Dana French of Concord, NH. Then Harry's very helpful handwritten notes were compiled in a database by Art Westneat.
Chart #4 has been broken down into four smaller charts, one
for each of Edward and Ann French's children. This is the work of Harry Dana
French which will be added to this chart once we get a volunteer to hand type
about 1,000 pages of names.
Chart #4.1 – The Joseph French
and Susanna Stacy Family. Son of Edward and Ann French
of Salisbury, Massachusetts. Revision 8.1 – January 1, 1992.
Chart #4.2 – The John French
and Mary Noyes Family. Son of Edward and Ann French of
Salisbury, Massachusetts. Revision 8.2 – January 1, 1992.

and Abigail Brown Family. Son of Edward and Ann French
of Salisbury, Massachusetts. Revision 8.3 – January 1, 1992.

Chart #4.4 – The Hannah French
and John White Family. Daughter of Edward and Ann
French of Salisbury, Massachusetts. Revision 8.4 – January 1,
1992. COMPLETED – SEE LINK ABOVE IN THE TABLE ON CONTENTS
Where Was
Edward Born?
The NEHGS had an article on this many years ago proving that
Edward French of Thorpe Morieux never left England.
Many records indicate that Edward French was born (or had
lived) in Thorpe Morieux, Suffolk Co., England.
Thorpe Morieux baptisms, 1538-1650 shows only Anne,
daughter of Edward French gent., baptized 8 Feb
1626-27. Edward of Salisbury, MA, had a son, Joseph, born ca. 1631 in England,
but we have no supported data listing a dau. Anne.
To make a long story short, Edward was born 21 Sep 1595 in
Rugby, Warwickshire, England, the son of John. See FFA Chart #E4.
