Notes for Thomas ffrench , Jr
Thomas French was a minister in the Quaker Society. He ministered at the Chester Meeting House. This meeting house earned dubious fame for being fired on by American revolutionaries during the American Revolution. Apparently the house got in the way of shots fired on the British as they crossed a nearby bridge. Three cannon ball hit the side of the meeting house. One of the cannon balls is still lodged in the exterior wall to this day. This occurred in 1778.
