Elizabeth French

Another woman named Elizabeth French was from The Leete, a widow, died on 5 Apr 1625 as Elizabeth French, widow from The Leete, and was perhaps married to William French of The Leete (because she was a widow), but she herself was not of French blood. She could have been the last wife of William of The Leete, and she died in childbirth from delivering son Francis, born 5 Apr 1625. Francis could have accompanied his older brother William French (the emigrant) on the ship Defence to New England in 1635. Francis’ voyage at age 10 with William French definitely shows a very close family connection as brothers. Francis was not the emigrant’s son because in William the emigrant’s will, he specifically states that he gives to all his children, but the name Francis does not appear. William remained in Massachusetts and Francis moved to Connecticut. This is all conjecture on my part. There is no other male French who could have married Elizabeth other than William. And Elizabeth wasn’t a sister of William, because her burial record of 1625 states that she was a widow. This connection is still a mystery.

I don't know if he was a Capt.,, but William Jr. was bapt. April 6, 1606 in HAlstead England.
