Thomas French, Jr. was born in Deerfield, Massachusetts but lived in Sunderland, Massachusetts for a while before moving to nearby Conway, where he kept a tavern. He was there at least until 1767, and by 1772, he had a tavern in Bloody Brook, in what is now Sounth Deerfield. Thomas fought in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Most, if not all of his eight children were probably born in Conway.
In John Williams' day book is a 1774 entry that refers to Thomas Jr.'s "boy". This could be one of his sons, or an enslaved boy, or a White servant.
