Hello,

A friend is searching for his family. Could you help?

=====================

     John Jacques DeVillerais came from Sussex, England and landed in 
 Philadelphia in 1760 (ship unknown) with his son, John Villars, (son
 also known as Vilett, Villis, Villiers).  I have no clue where he died
 or if he brought a wife, etc.  John (the son) was about 10 years old
 in 1760 and served in the Revolutionary War [USA] under Colonel
 William Withers' Rangers.  

 Nothing else I can think of.  I would think that with a middle name of
 "Jacques" he was of French origin but there are also many Villiers in
 England at that time and John Jacques came from Sussex, England.
 Thanks for your help.

=====================

Thanks so much for your attention,

Flo. Day
