Generation: 2

Other Events and Attributes:

_COLOR: 8
Residence: 1810, South Hampton, NH

Notes:

It is not known if this is Sewell's father. He is included here because he was in the Exeter, NH area at the time of Sewell's birth. Most of the early Federal Census records show a male in this family that fits his birth year. Also his (supposed) grandson was Rowland Barnes French, a naming tradition in this French family. Of course all of this is conjecture at this time. 10/29/19 DMC

Residence:
In this Federal Census Barnes French's family is as follows
Males under 10 = 1 (Sewell 5 yrs?)
Males 16-25 = 2 (Barnes 24 and ??)
Females 16-25 = 1 (Dorothy)
Females over 45 = 1 (Barne's or Dorothy's mother)

I believe this is Barnes and Dorothy and Barne's mother and young son (Sewell?) living together. 10/29/19 DMC
