    Other Events and Attributes:

    • _COLOR: 6
    • Residence: 1820, Washington County, ME

    Notes:

    There is some mystery regarding Sewell and his family. The Family French Association has Barnes French as his father and other sources show a Freeman French as his father and Eunice Worcester as his mother. Places of birth are also confusing as some family members state he was born in Epping, NH and others (and himself) in Columbia, ME. To further complicate matters there is a section of Columbia, ME called "Epping". I have done extensive research on Sewell and have no conclusions as to his true parentage. (DMC 10/24/2022)
    UPDATE: Apr 23, 2023 I found an old "Rememberance" book for his daughter, Ursual. This book was given to her in Epping New Hampshire in Apr 1839 and is proof that it was Epping, NH, not Epping, ME that the family is from. (DMC)

    According to the 1840 Federal Census, he was a living in Turner, Maine and had a wife, one son 15-19 (Rowland?), one son 5-9 (Talbot?), one son under 5 (Freeman?).

    On Sept. 18, 1843 he bought 300+- acres for $250 from Elijah L. Hamlin, Isaac Farrow, Abner Coburn, and Arnold F. Wells. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.)

    According to the 1850 census, he was a laborer and born in New Hampshire. (Ed. Note: I've been unable to locate Sewell French in NH or his ancestry!)

    On July 7, 1851 he bought about 1/2 acre for $120 from Lucy S. and Roger W.E. Brown. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.)

    On Sept. 27, 1851 he bought ten acres of land for $100 from Joseph Crandon of Columbia, Me. (David M. Caranci has the original deed).

    On Oct 12 1854 he sold one pair of brown and white, two year old steers for $50. (David M. Caranci has the original deed.)

    According to the 1860 census, he was a farmer and born in NH .

    According to the 1870 census, he was a farmer.

    According to the 1880 census he was a farmer; his father was born in MA, mother born in ME. He listed his occupation as 'farmer', and his wife as 'keeping house'.
