January to June, 1906 Manchester, N.H.: Granite State Publishing Company 1906 pg. 298-302 "Leather French" By An Old-Timer It is doubtful many will accord to the subject of the present sketch the dignity of belonging to a class deserving of a written biography, yet often a single deed in an otherwise wasted life will rescue it from oblivion. So it seems to me that the life of the humble man whose name by which he was best known stands at the head of this article deserves some tribute of recognition, some written word that may keep his memory alive. Stephen Youngman French, for that was the name which was given him by his parents, was the only son of Joseph and Mary (Youngman) French, and was born in Hollis, N. H., September 23, 1781. His father was a soldier in the Revolution, fought in the battle of Bunker Hill, and did meritorious service elsewhere. Stephen, while not considered as a particularly bright boy, was looked upon as one with fair prospects in life. Ere he reached manhood, however, he seemed to have met his fate in the person of a winsome country maiden a few years his senior. There is nothing to show that his love was reciprocated, and the youth immediately grew melancholy. It is probable that this was an inherent trait of character, likely to assert itself at the first provocation. At any rate, Stephen French began to show such marked tendencies in that direction that his parents sent him away from home, hoping that a change might prove beneficial to him. He had distant relatives in Exeter, Me., and thither he was sent with the tears of a hopeful mother and the prayers of an anxious father. The change of scene did not effect the alteration that was anticipated, and within a few years the young man, instead of living with those who desired to treat him kindly, retired from their midst and lived in a rude cabin built of sods and sticks of wood, in a desolate piece of country known in local geography as "The Hurricane." This was a tract of land that was looked upon as unfit for even a clearing, and the remains of a forest slaughtered by lumbermen were left to decay where they had fallen, while briars, weeds and brushwood sprang up into a tangled mass of undergrowth. The abandonment by the simple-minded youth of the comforts of life created only a ripple of conversation in the gossip of the town, and his course was soon looked upon as a natural outcome of such a shiftless beginning, for nine out of ten considered him too lazy to earn his living in the ordinary way. Let that be as it may, the young hermit set himself about making a small clearing in the midst of his unpromising surroundings, and on the small patch of cultivated soil, poor as it was, he managed to raise corn and vegetables enough to afford him food for sustenance, with the few extra supplies given him. ==== NHDATA Mailing List ==== Visit the NH US GenWeb Archives at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nh/nhfiles.htm and find out what we are all about.

January to June, 1906 Manchester, N.H.: Granite State Publishing Company 1906 pg. 298-302 In due course of time his clothes wore into shreds, so that they had to be replaced by others. In this plight he resorted to tanned sheepskins, which constituted his sole wardrobe, and from this day he became known as " Leather French." Apparently having no ambition to keep in touch with the world, Leather French eked out his existence, which must have grown less hopeful year by year, until his brown hair became plentifully streaked with white, though he still carried himself as erect as in his younger years. His humble hut was frequently the objective place for some curious visitor, and his gaunt, uncouth figure, clad in ragged sheepskins, was a sight to attract the children, until he tired of this unsought-for notice and, immediately upon discovering any one coming toward his cabin, he would go in and close the skin door against intrusion. Nothing that could be said would call him forth. One summer morning, as he was standing just outside of his hut, admiring in his humble way, none the less sincere for its utter humility, some pleasant spot in his surroundings, he saw a small party coming into sight, and he was about to retreat when he came to the conclusion that they were berry pickers. In their midst he saw a little child, a girl he knew by the bright dress she wore. He chuckled to himself as he saw the light-hearted women turn aside from the beaten path in quest of the ripe berries, which at that time hung in great clusters from the bushes. The cause of his pleasure was shown by his low-spoken words a moment later: "Poor fools! the old bear I see down there yesterday will send 'em kitin' home," and he laughed again, a hollow, mirthless laugh. He must have sat there an hour, knitting his long, slender fingers together in a way that was common to him when he was idle, when suddenly a scream, with childish sharpness to it, rang on his ears. He was on his feet in a moment, listening with rapt attention. The cry came from far to his right, and not in the direction the berry pickers had taken. But he recognized the voice as that of his little friend who wore the bright dress. Now, with all his lack of thrift and interest in others, Leather French had a warm place in his heart for children. If he was in doubt in regard to the import of the cry, the second which quickly followed removed all hesitation in an instant. The little one was frightened at some object, and he thought of the big black bear which he had seen in that direction the day before. Without stopping longer he started in the direction of the appeal for help, tearing through the thick brambles that caught at his rude garments with a revengeful clutch, as if they were maddened by his unceremonious entrance into their exclusive domains. Regardless of this terrific opposition to his advance, his long arms threshing the air while he plunged ahead, Leather French swiftly reached the scene, where be discovered, just as he had expected, the little girl lying prone upon the ground, the big bear, looking uncommonly fierce and ugly, with a huge paw uplifted to strike the helpless little one. Aroused by the sight, without thinking or caring for his own safety, the hermit rushed forward, to clasp in his arms the descending paw of the big brute. He proved but a plaything in the power of the bear, but his interference did cause Mistress Bruin to miss her blow, though it sent her assailant in a heap upon the ground a yard away, Thoroughly angered now, she turned upon him, leaving the child, who had fainted, for this new enemy. But Leather French knew that if the bear should think him dead she would not touch him, and so well did he feign this state that, with a sniff at him, the clumsy brute turned away with apparent disgust at finding him so easily put out of opposition. The little girl was equally as motionless, and so Mistress Bruin slowly ambled away into the thicket, probably satisfied with her morning's work. As soon as he dared, Leather French arose to his feet and seizing the little one in his arms he ran back to his cabin almost as swiftly as he had come. By the time he had reached it he was overjoyed to find that the child had opened her eyes, and was looking wonderingly into his unkempt features. His laugh now had the ring of true pleasure in it, and the rescued child answered back with the sweetness of restored confidence. Presently the distracted mother, who had missed her little girl and made a vain search for her, appeared on the scene, followed by her companions. Discovering her lost one, she rushed forward to snatch her resentfully from the arms of the hermit, thinking he had been the cause of her anxiety. When the truth was learned, however, the mother praised him for his noble act in saving her loved one, and begged of him to come and make a home in her family. But nothing could swerve the hermit from his solitary ways, and he lived there alone until old age compelled him finally to accept the protection of the Exeter poorhouse, where he died March 8, 1858, having reached the allotted threescore and ten years. There are a few who still remember him, and when these shall have passed away the following lines from one of Maine's most gifted poets will keep alive his memory while many, possibly more deserving, will have been forgotten: TO LEATHER FRENCH By DAVID BARKER, Esq. You have haunted the dreams of my sleep, Leather French, You have troubled me often and long; And now to give rest to the waves of my soul, Leather French, let me sing you a song. I suppose the cold world may sneer, Leather French, For it has done so too often before, When the innermost spirit has snatched up its harp, just to sing o'er the grave of the poor. Never mind, let them laugh, let them sneer, Leather French, We will not be disturbed by them long, For we will step aside from the battle of life, While I question and sing you a song. You were poor when you lived here below, Leather French, And you suffered from hunger and cold, And it was well you escaped from the storm and the blast At the time you grew weary and old. Has that old leather garb that you wore, Leather French, That you wore in the days long ago, Been exchanged for the robe that you named in your prayer, For a robe that is whiter than snow ? And that dreary old hut where you dwelt, Leather French, That old hut on the Hurricane lands, Was it bartered by you at the portals of death For a house not erected with hands? When the toys that I love become stale, Leather French, And my life's fitful fever is past, Shall I safely cross over the Jordan of Death ? Shall I meet you in Heaven at last ? Tell me true, tell me all, tell me now, Leather French, For the tale you can tell me is worth More to me than the wisdom, the Pleasure, the fame, And the riches and honors of earth. Shall I meet no response to my call, Leather French ? Tell me quick, for I cannot wait long, For I'm summoned again to the battle of life, Leather French, I have finished my song. ==== NHDATA Mailing List ==== Visit the NH US GenWeb Archives at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nh/nhfiles.htm and find out what we are all about.

Hello all, I'm new to the list and looking for French's in Hancock Co., IL. Specifically, parents of Harriet French. Supposedly James French. I found the following French males in Illinois land records that bought land in Hancock Co., IL between Nov 1817 and May 1818: James French, John French, Joseph French, Russell French, George French, and Brunson French. 1860 Hancock Co., IL census for the James French family we believe is Harriet's father, although she's not listed: James French 43 yrs old b OH Juliana 27 yrs old b IL Martha 10 yrs old b IL Morgan 8 yrs old b IL Amos (?) 5 yrs old b IL Calvin 7 yrs old b IL. If you connect, please contact me. Thanks, Tracy Verba nauvoo@interpath.com

Hi Joyce, Thank you for responding. I just found this response from you to my initial inquiry to this group. [Hi, Kathleen In any of your records, do any of your French's come from Connecticut? Joyce DameFrench@aol.com] Indeed they do! Francis French ll, b.1677, Derby, Conn, Israel French, b. 1709, Derby, Conn. David French, b. 1742, Seymour, Conn. David French ll, b.1797, Woodbridge, Conn John Jay French, b. 1799, Woodbridge, Conn. He may have lived in New York, but he eventually moved to Texas, and that is the end of this line in Conn. I am planning to go to Conn. soon to confirm this information, as I have no idea who gathered it. Do you know these Frenches? I hope this response to the list works. I am not quite sure how it is done. Kathleen

I just found this site through Cyndislist.com There are several lists of men who served in various engagements way back when. On the one list - Roman Catholic Officers in Ireland there are two Frenchs listed: Dublin: Capt. Arthur French Mayo: Capt. Jeffry French I haven't searched through the other links, but will do so. The site address is: http://www.genealogy-quest.com/military/index.html Good luck. Marion Scherer

The John I mentioned died in Ipswich Ma. Bryan French

I have an approximate date for Stephen as 1762. Interesting that your John was possibly a stowaway, as the same legend follows my James. My line is full of Elizabeth's, I'll do some further checking to see if anything looks logical for a match up. Treysgrand@aol.com wrote: > Hello to you Maryland Researchers.

Hello to you Maryland Researchers. I am descended from the French family that you mentioned in your earlier e-mails. My Elizabeth French lived in Tazewell County Virginia . She was born about 1770 in Maryland and is reported to be the daughter of Stephen and Eve French. Could one of you please give me an approximate date for the Stephen French who was the son of Ignatius. Could he have been the father of my Elizabeth who was born about 1770? Did he marry someone named Eve? This has been a project of many years of searching and I would appreciate your help so much. Elizabeth was married to a French (cousin?). He was John C. French but the family legend was that he came from Ireland (Galway) as a stowaway on a ship as a young boy. He was supposed to be from a prominent family. Perhaps he went to stay with cousins in Maryland upon his arrival. Thank you so much for any help you can give me about Elizabeth, daughter of Stephen and Eve. Carol Godwin

Joseph, I noticed you said that your grgrandfather was Josiah Harned, I have Harned's and French's in my family. What is your connection to the Harned's? Robbie

There are so many John's in this line it's hard to tell. The will I'm looking for is for John FRENCH father of Joseph F., William, Ann, John Jr., Ignatius, Mary, and Elizabeth. I know recently someone on the list mentioned that Johns's will mentioned only sons. (I believe they were descended from Joseph) They also supplied a long lineage which went back to my starting point, Martin. I am interested in the will because I'm confused on my Ignatius's. If they are right and I am wrong, I have a whole new generation to worry about. I know your French line is the same as mine, so maybe you can help straighten me out. 1 Martin, Galway, Ireland 2 James 1650 d. 1733 (have will) m.

NO the husband of Barbara Key was JAMES FRENCH. And yes the name Tandy did run in the Key family. I have a copy of the marriage bond. There has been more than one article on the Key family printed in The Virginia Genealogist. These are well documented articles. You should find them at any large library. The have been reprinted by Heritage Books.

This marriage is for James French and Barbara Key. James was the son of Daniel French and Mildred (?). The family moved to Adair County , Kentucky for a time and then into Orange Co. Indiana. Daniel was the son of Hugh French of Richmond County, VA. and Margaret Jarvis. Hugh was the son of Mason French and an undentified lst wife. Mason was the son of Hugh French whose will was probated in 1701 in Richmond County, VA. I am working on a book on this family. Where do you fit in? Margaret Amundson

Thanks for straightening me out. I was told (I think by you it was James) but then I saw a note for a Jacob who married Barbara. I went to the LDS site and it said Joseph, so I was really confused. My grgrandfather Josiah Harned married Judeth French. I believe she was the daughter of Tandy French and Lydia Stroud who married in Orange Co., Indiana. Josiah and Judeth had a daughter named Lydia and a son named Tandy, so I believe Judeth was the daughter of Tandy and Lydia. I have been trying to find names of the children of James and Barbara (Key) French in order to link my line to that one. Thanks. Any help would be appreciated. I will let you know if and when I find info on them.

Thanks. I will keep you in mind. I am trying to find info on a Tandy French who was possibly the son of Jacob and Barbara (Key) French. I'm told the name Tandy ran in the Key line.
