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 handtype 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.

Chart #4.3 – The Samuel French 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.

Ann Goodale vs. Ann Swayne

Edward French married in England, but we haven’t verified her surname, which could be either Swayne or Goodale. We also haven’t verified the origin of Edward.

From the FFA (Art Westneat and Roland Rhodes Jr.)

First Theory: Edward was related to the Hall and Swayne families, and could therefore be from Langford, Essex, England: There are several "gentlemen" associated with the Ipswich, MA to Salisbury, MA move. One is Samuel Hall of Langford, near Malden, Essex, England. Edward may have been associated with him. John Hall, b. 18 Mar 1641-2, referred to Edward as his uncle. He also correctly refers to his uncle James Hall in other correspondence. My feeling is that the use of the word "uncle" is indicative of a definite relationship as opposed to the obscure use of brother. Samuel Hall returned to London and Assington, Suffolk, dying in Islington. Samuel Hall refers to John Hall as his "adopted cousin" and made Edward and his wife executors of his will. John Hall's mother was Rebecca Swayne. William Worcester married Rebecca Swayne and referred to Edward as his brother. Worcester also makes Edward one of the overseers of his will. Worcester was the first minister of the Salisbury church and arrived there in 1639.

Conclusion from Art Westneat: The FFA believes that Edward French of Salisbury, MA, did not marry Ann Swayne, daughter of Bennett Swayne and sister of the 5-times married Rebecca Swayne as stated in "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury" by David W. Hoyt. "Genealogical Gleanings in England" by Henry F. Waters, Vol. 1 of the 2-volume 1643 page set, pages 680-681, published in 1901 gives the will of Bennett Swayne, father of Rebecca Swayne, dated 3 Dec 1630 and proved 27 Jan 1630/31, which mentions almost all his descendants, but does not mention French. Rebecca came to New England and died at Ipswich, MA, on 21 Jul 1695. She m1. Henry Byley, m2. John Hall, m3. Rev. William Worcester, m4. Deputy Gove, m5. Samuel Symonds.

Conclusion from Roland Rhoades. Every mention of Edward French's wife Ann that I have been has named her either Ann Swayne or Ann Goodale. Harry Dana French and Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury say Edward married "Swayne," sister of the much married Rebecca Swayne and daughter of Bennett Swayne. Rebecca was the second wife of Rev. William Worcester, who made "my brother Edward French" one of the overseers of his will. I have heard, however, that Rev. Worcester's first wife was Sarah French, sister of Edward French. Please not, however, before you pass this on, that at this point it is totally unsubstantiated because I haven't researched its validity. Edward could also have been just a church "brother." The main reason I do not believe that Edward's wife was a Swayne shows validity in Bennett Swayne's will, proved in 1630. Edward and Ann may or may not have been married at that time, but Bennett leaves an extremely detailed will mentioning all his daughters, his sons, and his sons' wives. There is no mention of an Ann.

Second Theory: Edward emigrated on the ship Angel Gabriel. The Angel Gabriel left Bristol, England, in April 1635, and floundered off the coast of Maine at Pemaquid, now Bristol, ME, in the great storm of August 15, 1635. John Bailey (Bayley), a weaver on board, came from Chippenham

County, Wiltshire, England, and was, like Edward French, part of the 1640 "first division" of Salisbury. The town of Salisbury was petitioned by an original 12 men before 1640; neither Bailey nor French was among them. Five or more of the men were from Wiltshire, England. The known names of the passengers on the Angel Gabriel were Captain (Robert) Andrews, John and Thomas Burnham, John Bailey and his two children, Ralph Blaisdell with his wife Elizabeth and son Henry, John Cogswell and his wife Elizabeth and eight children, William Furber, Samuel Haines, Henry Sampson, and John Tuttle. That makes 23. Taken from "Excerpts from a Thesis" by Warren Curtis Riess from Claire Cogswell Doyle, 21 Old Belchertown Road, Ware, MA 01082.

Conclusion: The FFA doesn't believe this theory either. Edward did not immigrate with families who originally settled in Salisbury. Edward immigrated about 1635 to Ipswich and is first mentioned in Ipswich land records in 1637. In 1640 he removed to Salisbury, MA.

Third Theory: Edward married Ann Goodale of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, Co. England, a great seaport. Theory by Roland Rhoades with help from Bailey Rogers and Sid Emmons. Another theory is that Edward married Ann Goodale, but who were her parents? Many places say she was the daughter of John Goodale, son of Thomas and Bridgett Porter/Portler, but we find no record of a daughter, Ann. I also have family group sheets from the LDS Libarary showing John Goodale (1565-1625 of Downham Market and Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England, son of Thomas) who married Bridget Portler 21 Sep 1588 and had 7 children including Richard Goodale, b. 1594, but no Ann. However, Bridgett died in 1607 and John married second Elizabeth Parlett, b. ca. 1583 of Stradsett, Norfolk, England, and died 8 Apr 1647 in Newbury, MA. Elizabeth had previously married a Mr. Taylor. She married third, after John Goodale's death, the well-known Percival Lowell of Newbury, MA. John and Elizabeth had, according to this family group sheet, ten children including Ann Goodale, b. 1608, m. 1627 to Edward French. Bailey Rogers says that Ann is not mentioned in John Goodale's will. We can see from the chart below that at the time John died (1625), Ann had not yet married Edward French (ca. 1627). Edward's and Ann's first child, Joseph, was born in 1631 in England.

The following is from a 1983 letter to member Francis Jenne from Lorraine Latimer: James Atkins Noyes in his "Noyes Pedigree" says Edward married Ann Goodale. A Richard Goodale, Sr., called Edward French and others as his "brethren." Richard was a planter, turner, of Newbury, MA in 1638 and in Salisbury, MA in 1639. Lorraine says that Ann Goodale was the sister of Richard Goodale. Bailey Rogers, who has been trying to solve this puzzle for some time, just recently sent me a family group sheet with another Ann Goodale that might be ours. Ann, bpt. 16 Sep 1599 in Dennington, Suffolk, England, no further information, was the daughter of Robert Goodale/Goodall and Joan Artys. This Ann's brother, Robert, settled in Salem, MA. Yet another record shows John Goodale and his wife Elizabeth came from Yarmouth, England, on the ship Mary Ann in 1637. Their daughter, Ann, m. Thomas Millerd (Milward). Richard Goodale (who referred to Edward French and others as his "brethren") had a daughter, Ann, who married William Allen.

Conclusion: I believe that John Goodale and Elizabeth Parlett were the parents of Ann Goodale, and that she married Edward French of Salisbury, MA. This could mean that Edward was from Norfolk instead of either Suffolk or Essex as originally thought.

As of today, the French Family Association still has no real proof of whom Edward French married.

From Reference [1]

This is one of the fundamental unanswered questions in Chart 4. The "FFA position" such as I have ever had a position is to be open to evidence. Roland Rhoades was of the position that the lack of evidence in the will of B. Swayne was compelling in arguing against Ann Swayne. Beyond that the evidence, adequately cited in the email, is inconclusive. As far as I know neither the Swayne nor the Goodale genealogists have found anything in their records. My feeling is that the use of the word "uncle" is indicative of a definite relationship as opposed to the obscure use of brother. If a gun were put to my head, I'd argue on that basis that Ann Swayne is the better of the two candidates irrespective of the will's lack of citation.

From Reference [2]

To use the will of Richard Goodale Sr, to establish the relationship between Goodale and Edward French, the key question would appear to be the meaning of the word "bretherin". Phonetically, it sounds to me like an archaic spelling of the modern word "brethren." If so, was "brethren" the plural of "brother," or was it used, as it is today to denote either "brothers in Christ" or simply members of the same church? Or yet some other definition. I know there are dictionaries of archaic English--does someone on the list have access to one?

From Reference [3]

Brothers could be actual brothers or church brothers. There were lots of brothers on those days! Another "bro" is used to identify Ann Swayne as Edward's wife; but the existence of Ann Swayne is hard to prove, according to the French Family Association". Called "bro." by William Worcester. -1 "My brother, Edward French," made an overseer of the will of Wm. Worcester (whose second wife was Rebecca Swayne-Biley-Hall-Worcester-Symonds). Moreover, John/3 Hall, whose mother was Rebecca Swayne, speaks of "my uncle French". However the will of Bennett Swayne, father of much-married Rebecca and the putative Ann, is published in Waters, Genealogical Gleanings in England I:680-81; it mentions nearly all his descendants but no French and no Ann Swayne died in 1630. Called "bro." by Richard Goodale Sr. 2

From Reference [6]

Edward’s wife was Anne WORCESTER, not Anne GOODALE. Anne WORCESTER was a sister of Rev. William WORCESTER, the first minister of Salisbury, Essex County, MA. The proof of Anne’s maiden name is as follows:

Anne’s marriage to Edward FRENCH is recorded in the parish register of St. Andrew’s Church, Rugby, Warwickshire, England, which reads as follows: "3 November 1626 Marryed Edward French and Anne Worcester." See Worcester, John P., "The Worcester Family" <http://www.worcesterfamily.com/intro.htm>.

The will of Anne’s and William’s father, Joseph WORCESTER, dated February 10, 1644/45, names his children, including William WORCESTER and Anne FRENCH. See Worcester, John P., "The Worcester Family"<http://www.worcesterfamily.com/misc1.htm#Joseph-1644>.

William WORCESTER’s will, which was witnessed by Edward FRENCH, refers to Edward as William’s “brother.” See Worcester, John P., "The Worcester Family" <http://www.worcesterfamily.com/misc1.htm>. Presumably the term “brother,” as used in this will, means “brother-in-law.”

I have located the following extracted christening record in the International Genealogical Index: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, International Genealogical Index ®, Copyright © 1980, 2002, data as of August 23, 2007, Batch No.: C039662, Dates: 1569 - 1770 , Source Call No.: 0548381, Type: Film, Printout Call No.: 1037036, Type: Film, Sheet: 00:

EDWARDUS FRENCHE
Male
Event(s):
Christening: 21 SEP 1595 Allesley, Warwick, England
Parents:
Father: JOHN FRENCHE
[Allesley is about 14 miles from Rugby, Warwickshire, England, where Edward FRENCH married Anne WORCESTER on 3 November 1626.]
I have no proof that Edwardus FRENCHE was the same person as Edward FRENCH, who died on 28 December 1674 in Salisbury, Essex County, MA. However, I believe that more research on Edwardus would be justified.

From Reference [15]

I just came across information that Edward married Ann Worcester. I had not heard of this before and only found it inadvertently through the Worcester Family Site: http://www.worcesterfamily.com/intro.htm. I assume you knew of this information. Has it helped in finding Edward’s ancestry?

More References

"The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury Massachusetts" by David W. Hoyt, says "Richard Goodale, Sen., called Edward French his bro." This probably means that Edward's wife Ann was Richard Goodale's sister. Note: "Directory of the Ancestral Heads of New England Families 1620-1700" by Frank R. Holmes shows Richard Goodale (above) came from Yarmouth, County of Norfolk England to Newbury MA 1638; removed to Salisbury MA 1639. Richard Goodale Sr. in his will dated 7 June 1660 ".....I do desire my loving bretherin edward french and Phillip Challis. and Richard wels to ouerse the equall deuiding of this estate unto my son and daughter......"Essex County Probate Files, Docket 11,135. If this is used as evidence that Edward French, Phillip Challis and Richard Wells are brothers-in-law of Richard Goodale, it fails with Phillip Challis. ... his wife was Mary Sargent, d/of William Sargent and Elizabeth Perkins.
