Well, I've searched and searched and so far come up empty. I swear I remember reading some of my notes recently and those names stuck out. Maybe I was reading recent post from my other lists or those on Genforum or familyhistory.com and came across one of yours. It's been driving me crazy! I will keep my eyes open, I have several notebooks of "maybe useful in the future" stuff that I print off the lists. Periodically I review them just in case a new name has come to light in my tree that may have a connection. I'm descended from the FRENCH familys migrated into Hardin and Nelson county KY from St. Marys County, MD. Good Luck and successful hunting!!

I have found a copy of the will of Ignatius FRENCH which was probated April 1810 which names his sons William, Ignatius and Joseph. I have all of these in my records, but only Joseph attached to this Ignatius. I have Ignatius1 (b. 1705, d.bef 1772), husband of Susannah. Children Eleanor, James, Raphael, Martin, Stephen, Ann, Mary, Ignatius. Ignatius2, married Elizabeth Unknown, children: Mary, Ignatius, William, Elizabeth, Ann, Joseph. I have an Ignatius born about 1780, attached to James French and Susannah Melton. Is this really the son of Ignatius2? Or is there a fourth Ignatius in this family? Please Help me get this straight.

What family does Patrick French belong to? He was born ?, married in 1788 in Monmouth Co., NJ to Mary Erickson. He died about 1806 in Rockingham Co., Virginia. They had at least three sons: Grovey/Grosvenor, Reuben and David. Mary Lou Clegg

Hugh, I am sorry that it took so long for me to get back to you, but I just found my FFA stuff, and would you believe, the very first one I picked up had a discussion of your line. It says that your line is #20. The discussion is about three books that were written on the line, with each following a different descendant. It is dated 1990. Julia French Wood

My earliest known ancestor is Patrick French born ? died 1806 in Rockingham Co. Virginia. He married 24 Nov 1788 in Monmouth Co. NJ to Mary Erickson. His known children were: Grosvenor or Grovey, Reuben, and David. Any ideas what family Patrick belongs to? Mary Lou Clegg

I have posted this before, but on the chance someone might have a connection, I'm reposting my brick walls: Edwin Howard French, c. 1837 Seymour, CT. m. Harriet L. Black, one son, Charles B. c.1859 in CT. I have traced Edwin to the 1860 CT census where Harriet is shown as Harriet M. and baby Charles shown as Edwin. Can't find any records earlier than that. Are they found on anyone's chart? Linda W.

Toni, Thanks for the information. I'm not seeing a connection here between your French family and Sarah A. French, but I will keep it on file. One never knows what connections will be made at some point in the future. Anne
