Jessé de Forest - Jesse DeForest is my 9th great grandfather

@Jesse de Forest-: I have known about my French blood on my grandmother's side ever since I was in elementary school, but I have only managed to find it recently--in Jesse DeForest and his various lines. I am so glad that he ties into my Dutch lines in New Amsterdam ( I guess without him, there would have been no permission for a colony then.), my French lines, my Spanish lines, and perhaps he knew some of the English Pilgrims. At that time, everyone was in that part of Europe. I guess this is why I am in America.
