Richard French Mary Williamson Canada "My name is John Dawson French. I live in Kamloops, British Columbia. I am 56 years old. I am searching for a French Connection…Any help would be greatly appreciated. Although I have little family information, I’m hopeful that someone out there will recognize these names and contact me.
Generation 1…William French (Head Inn, Randalton) (Derry, Ireland) " Married a woman of Castle Dawson (Nobility)
Generation 2…A son named John French (Immigrated in 1818? From Ireland?) Generation 3…We know of at least 2 sons of John Possibly one son named George? "And another son named Richard b. Aug 31, 1810
" "This Richard (born Aug.31, 1810 died 1873)" we think married in ONTARIO He married Mary Williamson (born 1806 died 1897)
Here is a list of Richard and Mary’s children
Generation 4…
Charles 1835 – 1864 Jane 1837 – 1913 John 1838 – 1903 Joane? 1840 – 1903 Richard 1843 – 1903 James 1845 died in infancy William 1846 – 1881 James 1848 - 1914 Joseph 1850 – 1901 Mary 1853 died in infancy Thomas 1854 – 1915 Mary 1857 – 1906 Albert "1860 – 1930 born in Toronto?
This Albert is my Grandfather Albert and a buddy came out west…the story is that they unloaded Railcars for 50cents a piece and on their way out west they came upon the NWMP who were chasing Louis Riel.
Albert married Florence Field in Vancouver, BC She was from Calgary (Florence died Oct. 30, 1940 of Cancer.) Albert was in the import/export business of some sort Albert apparently shot himself after the stock market crash… because he had lost everything Page 2 Albert and Florence had 2 sons
One was named John (Jack) Frederick French " "John was a member of the Provincial Police (Retired in Comox) Married to Winifred. Jack and Winifred APPARENTLY HAD NO CHILDREN
And Albert and Florence’s other son was named Richard Dawson French b. August 16, 1902 or 1903 in Vancouver, BC This Richard married Joan Louise Ruggles b. 1918 or 1919(Joan was from St. Helena California…immigrated to Vancouver, BC with her Mother met and married my father in Van.)
Richard and Joan are my parents They had 2 children: Barbara Joan French (my sister) John Dawson French (myself)
I remember my Dad telling me that (in his younger days) he was in Chicago and saw Al Capone in a public washroom. It had frightened him to be standing beside the mobster.
My Dad worked for the Columbia Coast Mission Fleet. He was an Engineer on one of the boats that serviced the small coastal villages up and down the coast of British Columbia. My Mother was a secretary for the company and that’s how they met.
In the late 1950’s we took a family vacation back East and I remember my parents looking up relatives in the Toronto area.
Our parents were killed in an auto accident in 1965 I was 17 years old when I lost my parents …my sister Barb and I don’t know who or were are relatives are?
As kids we heard stories about being related to George Arthur French, who was First Commissioner of the NWMP at the time of the Louis Riel chase and maybe a nephew of Albert’s? (I think I was told that George was apparently let go later from the NWMP and so he then traveled to Australia?)
I remember being told that C.H. French was a relative of my Father’s. C.H. French was somehow involved in the fur trade. I found C.H. French on the internet and discovered he is a Former Canadian Fur Trade Commissioner and had over 40 years of service (years of service 1891 – 1930)
I do not know how I’m related to these French’s, only that I remember my parents speaking of them.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I’d love to trace my roots. My sister and I have many family photos and numerous keepsakes, but we have no one to ask about our ascendants.
Thank you for your help.

The Welchel name is thought to be German / Dutch. My ancestors came to Indiana after the death of Francis and Anne Whelchel. The records of my family have come from many sources and many states.

John Smith early 1700s ? A lady of french descent who was a quaker North Carolina "John Smith's family came to America from England (they were originally from Scotland) when he was young. They arrived in Philadelphia, PA in the early 1700s. They were Quakers. John Smith served in the French and Indian War. He was rewarded for his service by King George of England with land in North Carolina. He married a young Quaker woman whose parents were from France. John Smith's father did not approve of his son's bride, and he, in essence, banished his son. John Smith and his new wife moved to North Carolina where they remained until their deaths. John was an enthusiastic hunter. There is an old family tale that John Smith was a great friend of Daniel Boone and that they frequently hunted together. Today, the land that he was rewarded with by the King of England has an old church and family cemetary on it, or so I've been told. I've never been there; I live in Alabama, where a lot John Smith's descendants settled. "

William Bowne (Boone) circa 1605 "Yorkshire, England" Ann circa 1628 "Yorkshire, England" circa 1677-78 "Monmouth County, New Jersey " "William Bowne was an Anabaptist who first settled in Massachusetts in 1631. In 1645, he removed his family to Gravesend, New York (at that time known as New Amsterdam). He was affiliated with Lady Deborah Moody, a woman of means, who had been excommunicated at Salem for Baptist views. His supposed cousin, John Bowne, came to New Amsterdam around 1649 and later became a Quaker. John Bowne figured prominently in the struggle for freedom to practice one's religion under the Dutch.
