  • 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
