Four of Thomas French's children came to New England before him.Thomas and Alice were among the earliest members of the Boston churchand the evidence indicates that they were followers of John Winthropin the great emigration. Dorcas and Susan were doubtless the twodaughters who came over in 1633. Thomas Gostlin wrote to Winthrop,Jr., from Groton on June 11, 1633, in regard to sending over amaid--"she is one of the goodman Frenches daughters of Assington. Ihave sent 2 of them, one for your father and the other for you. Yourfather must take his choice. The eldest must serve for 3 yeeres, & theyoungest 4. . . . pray let them be delt as well with all as any of thesame quality."
Thomas French, Sr., his wife and younger children emigrated andsettled in Ipswich, where the younger Thomas had gone from Boston withJohn Winthrop, Jr., before Jul 25, 1638, when a planting lot of ThomasFrench the elder is mentioned a bound to land at the Reedy marsh.
Administration on his estate was granted to his widow Nov 5,1639, and it was directed that "the land which he left is to bedisposed of by sale, or otherwise, by advice of the magistrates ofIpswich, for the maintenance of his wife and the education of hischildren which are not yet able to provide for themselves nor weredisposed of in their father's life."
Widow French was an Ipswich commoner in 1641. She died beforeMar 10, 1658, when an inventory of the goods of Susan French, widow,of Ipswich, deceased, was taken. The total being 12 pounds:11:6.Dorcas Ridelsdell, a witness in a case in Ipswich court in Mar 1647,must have been an unmarried sister or a niece of Susan (Riddlesdale)French, who either accompanied the family to America or joined themthere.
