Well I don't know about FRENCH as a last name in Independence CO AR but there are plenty of descendants there with other last names. There are NASH people there who descend from Margaret Abigale FRENCH Flynn NASH. I recently was found by a cousin who is a FRENCH but they don't live in Indep Co. I'm hoping to convince them to join the DNA project. These are from William E. FRENCH son of Alpheus and Juliet Byrne FRENCH thru Mat L FRENCH. I think you may have had contact with them.

Independence County, Arkansas. Both were born in Virginia. They had 12 children. Surely some descendants are still in Independence County. Thanks.
