[4] Willard French, Bill7009@aol.com. My Great Great Grandfather was Benoni French born in Taunton Mass. in 1779. The bible meaning of the name Benoni mentions "the son of my sorrow". My Great Grandfather was Allen French and Grandfather was Charles Levi French. I hope that this information helps with your family tree. We can only go back to Benoni with our family tree, his father might have been James French. I live in Watertown CT and also in Misquamicut Beach, (Westerly R.I.).
