3.6 Jeremias French Sr., b. on 18 Jun 1681 in Yetminster (near Sherborne), Dorset, England, states his father was Roger French. Jeremiah m. Elizabeth Chaffey in 1710 in Sherborne. Elizabeth Chaffey was baptized on 27 Feb 1694 in Sherborne, the daughter of Walter and Ann Chaffey. Walter Chaffey died in 1740 in Sherborne. The Chaffey family was extensive in Sherborne. Their children Mary, Jeremiah, Elizabeth, Samuel, and Barter all died young. Mary II died a spinster. John Òmay haveÓ moved to West Parley but records arenÕt clear. Most probably Jeremiah was unable to care for himself, and lived in a home ÒworkhouseÓ that took care of him until he died on 22 Feb 1749 in Sherborne; he would have been about 70 years old; no details given, except he was not young or the burial record would have said Òson ofÓ. Jeremiah and Otho French lived in Sherborne at the same time and were of the same generation.
4.11 Mary French, b. 23 Aug 1711 in Sherborne, buried 26 Dec 1713 in Sherborne.
4.12 Jeremiah
French Jr., b. 5 Aug 1713 in Sherborne (verified). The immigrant. He may have immigrated to NJ. Most probably, Jeremiah
had a son named Moses, b. 1635 in NJ, and he had a son Jeremiah, b. 1759 in NJ
who eventually moved to PA.
--------------------------------------------------
Start of Proposed Descendants of Jeremiah if
he indeed immigrated to New Jersey
JeremiahÕs proposed cousin, Otho, immigrated to America, and it is very likely that Jeremiah did also, as ÒaÓ Jeremiah French appears in NJ at the same time, plus the descendants of both Otho and Jeremiah in America have the same DNA test results in DNA Test Group 1. The name Moses must have come from someone in the U.S. Let us suppose that Jeremiah married and his wifeÕs fatherÕs name was Moses, so he would have been born ca. 1685.
