Parents of John Jay French (b. NY May 18, 1796)
I am looking for information on the parents of my 3rd g grandfather, John Jay French.
There is a record of guardianship of John Jay being awarded to Peter Shuler, in Amsterdam, Montgomery, NY, in 1813, which lists his father John, late of Amsterdam, Montgomery, New York.
I have also found the following record of burial in the SCOTCH CHURCH CEMETERY, Route 160, Midway Between Pattersonvile and Mariaville, Town of Florida, Montgomery County, NY:
FRENCH
Margaret, wife of John B., d. Mar. 1803, 23yr
I wonder if John B. and Margaret might be John Jay's parents.
My mother has looked for any information about John Jay French for a long time, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
