She was born c1824 OH; d. c1866 Perry Co., IL. (both are buried at Cudgetown Cemetery, Perry Co. IL). Shortly after they married they moved to Illinois and can be found on both the 1850 & 1860 Census for Perry Co. IL. Richard & Mahala (Barr) FRENCH had 7 sons: Moses FRENCH, b. c1844 OH Samuel FRENCH, b. c1847 OH Laban FRENCH, b. c1849 OH married Marinda N.C. POWELL (m. 7 Oct 1868 IL) Amos (David?)

Ira FRENCH, b. c1860 IL After the death of his first wife, Richard married Mary (??) LOWRANCE b. c1837 NC (a widow - Mary’s first husband was Andrew A. LOWRANCE. He was a Union solidier (31 MO Infrantry) killed in the battle between Jonesboro and Atlanta, GA. She had three daughters by her previous marriage to LOWRANCE: Ann, Margaret “Susie”, and Amanda.
