JAMES FROOD - father of James Frood
Since the last note I have been contacted by others researching the FROOD family. It appears that JAMES FROOD OF MADRON (1770-1849)was the father of six children JAMES (1799);Thomas (1801);Henry (1803);Eliza (1806); Frederick (1808) and John (1810)
James Frood of Madron was married to Mary Sargent, one of ten children (8 girls and two boys) born to George Sargent (c1750) and Elizabeth(c1750). Following the death of Mary Sargent, James (the elder) re-married Constance (1776-1861). Constance died when she was 85.
Another of James's sons Henry (1803) married Mary Rew and they had five sons Henry (1830-94); Charles (1833-1836) Charles (1837-x); George (1839-1907) and James (1849-1918). The story of Henry and his family has been fascinating, discovering Australia during the gold rush and a Frood legacy to be proud of.
