Don't worry, the Finches get in here with William Finch's marriage
to Judith Ann Hess in the fourth generation.
This page begins with the married couple John and Margaret Hess.
Their great-granddaughter, Judith Ann Hess, married William Finch;
thus began the Finch Family as we are familiar with it.
The information about the ancestors of Judith Ann was found at
LDS Family Search
as a complete ancestral file. We have yet to document its accuracy ourselves,
but we trust it enough to include it here.
I would like to commend the research of Paula Simpkins Maitre,
whose generosity has made much of this page possible.
I would like to thank all the Finch family members for their contributions,
especially
Richard Finch and Katherine Finch Thompson,
for many historical and personal details,
and Skip and Marie Finch,
for answering endless questions.
If you have any information about the Finch or Hess families of South Jersey,
