{"product_id":"the-american-jaquish-family-michael-jaquish-9798243461146","title":"The American Jaquish Family: Descendants of Henri Jaques","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery family has a story. Your family is the story of you... who you are, and where you came from. You exist only because you have ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of the American \u003ci\u003eJaquish\u003c\/i\u003e family. The American story began when an 18 year old Henri Jaques climbed aboard a boat in France in 1640 and sailed to the \"\u003ci\u003eNew World\u003c\/i\u003e\" to make his fortune. He stepped off that boat in Newbury, Massachusetts (Now called Newburyport.) He joined the \u003ci\u003eMassachusetts Bay Colony\u003c\/i\u003e English\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ePuritans, married Anna Knight, and changed his name from Henri Jaques to \u003ci\u003eHenry Jaquish\u003c\/i\u003e. What happened after that is, well... the \u003ci\u003erest of the story\u003c\/i\u003e... as they say.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis historical record offers a glimpse into the past while connecting the reader with fascinating individuals that may seem like they leaped out of an adventure movie onto the pages of the story. The characters range from blacksmiths and witches, to sea captains, an American Revolutionary hero, and law enforcement officers. The Pirate, \u003ci\u003eBlackbeard \u003c\/i\u003eeven makes a brief appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Jaquish is one of the sons of the American Revolution. He is also an author of nearly thirty books, and a descendant of the Frenchman, Henri Jaques. He tells the story using family records that have been handed down through ten generations of Jaquish families. Each of the eight chapters focuses on a member of one of those generations. Unlike many ancestry records that can be tedious to wade through, the author has written this story to grab and hold the interest of the reader. Even those who may not be connected to the Jaquish family may find the story compelling from a historical perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Jaquish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798243461146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d","brand":"Michael Jaquish","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48242102534399,"sku":"9798243461146","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5002a795-12b4-41b4-8dd3-3b0a83b4a2cd.jpg?v=1772657541","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-american-jaquish-family-michael-jaquish-9798243461146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
