Ancestor of U.S. President Gerald R. Ford.
William French was born in England, perhaps March 15, 1603, at Halstead, Essex, although this has not been proven. He may also have been son of William of Bures St. Mary, Suffolk County, England; see "Thomas French of Assington, Suffolk, England & Ipswich, MA" NEHGS"Register," Vol. 142, pg.150. According to custom house documents, he was born in Essex County in1605.
William migrated on the ship "Defense" which sailed from London July 10,1635. He is listed on the passenger list as servant to Roger Harlakenden, likely a ruse because of immigration restrictions of the time. He eventually settled at Cambridge where he was a tailor. He was a proprietor of Cambridge 1635-36. He was confirmed as a lieutenant May 26,1647. He removed to Billerica, MA in about 1652. At Billerica, he was an original proprietor and settler and first deputy or representative from Billerica to the general Court of Massachusetts at Boston, 1663-1666. He was the author of a famous tract called "Strength out of Weakness."
His will is dated June 5, 1679 and was proved December 20, 1681.
