  • Notes 
    • John French Jr., twin, b. ca. 1785 in PA, m. Lida or Lydia Williams [18] [12]. She was b. 1791-1800. John is listed in the 1800 census of Unadilla, Otsego, NY, age 10-15, but probably lived on his own by 1810. John always removed with his father.
      John Jr. moved back with his father in 1840 to Sidney, Delaware, NY, the hometown of his mother Desire Bull, but in a different residence than his father, but as neighbors, as he is listed age 50-59 (b. 1781-1790) and his wife age 40-49 (1791-1800).

      All other census records are easy to research as he is listed as John French Jr. Also, as he moved to Sidney, Delaware, NY, most of his children were buried in East Sidney Cemetery and will be added as I have time, or if someone volunteers to type up the data and email it to me at marafrench@mindspring.com : http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSln=French&GSiman=1&GScid=64400&
