Notes
01⇑ I have not found birth or baptism records, so I have used The French Closet. He was born "Ffrench" and buried as "Ffrench", but he often used "French" during his lifetime. Burke's Landed Gentry and Alumni Dublinenses have his names as Acheson Jeremy Sidney, but Jeremiah appears in his probate records and other occasional references.
