| Notes |
- Jeremiah French was born c. 1712, the second son of Samuel and Mary (Price) French of Stratford, Connecticut. He moved from Connecticut to Dover, Dutchess County by 1756 and leased two large farms totaling over 400 acres. He lived near Old Dover's Tavern in South Dover. He was an original purchaser of some of the New Hampshire Grants and before the Revolution owned much of what is today Manchester Center, Vermont.
He had 4 sons who were loyalists; Jeremiah Jr., Benjamin, Charity and Gershom. He was often accused of being a Loyalist himself, and after some skirmishes with some of the locals, and having to escape for awhile to Long Island, he finally prevailed in Court and retained all his lands in Dutchess County, New York.
