The book Kaye Scheiman refers to is "Portrait And Biographical Album, Vermilion County, IL" 1889. It is LDS film #0215556. It is written like this, "Henry, after being married to Miss Elizabeth Ersom, left his home in Germany and sought a new field of labor under the banner of freedom, in the land of liberty. It does not say he was born there, but that is assumed.

I have been working on a scan of Chart 31...scans can be a mess & this one certainly proves it. However, I learned a bit since it forced me to read!! The following is from the first part and I am sure it will be helpful. The French charts are a product of several people's work over a few years. Bracketed numbers seem to refer to sources. ........... Records at the LDS Library indicate erroneously that Henry, the immigrant (generation 1), was born in Lesbury, Northumberland, England. Ref [27] says he was born and malTied in Gennany and may have used the name Heinrich. Birth place of Henry in Germany is from Portrait and Biographical Album, Vermilion Co., IL, 1889 Biographical Sketch of Ersom French, son of George French, and grandson of Henry French. This portrait also says that after being married to Elizabeth Ersom (a German name), Henry French left his home in Germany and sought a new field of labor under the banner of freedom, in the land of liberty [27]. It is assumed that the family immigrated to Virginia, then moved to Mercer County, KY, in about 1773 when their second child was born. They lived in the Harrodsburg, KY area. Harrodsburg was established by James Harrod in 1774. The French family were among the first settlers. In 1780 KY was divided into three counties: Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln. In 1769 Daniel Boone wintered in a cave there. Daniel was b. in PA and after considerable wandering, settled in NC. The Nield Family Graveyard is located on Mrs. Will Robertson's farm on the Quirk's Run Road in Mercer Co. near the Boyle Co. line, KY. Of the 53 stones, 7 are French: Henry French, 12 Mar 1755 - 11 Aug 1821 Elizabeth French, wife of Henry, 30 Nov 1755 - 22 Mar 1828. Edward French, 14 Mar 1821 - 26 Dec 1849 (who m. Jane Banta on 6 Oct 1842 [1]). This could be the same Jane French mentioned in the KY Census of 1850 as head of house, therefore a widow. Eddie French, son of J.F. and F., 1904 - 1905. Bettie C. French, wife of W.E., 5 Apr 1858 - 21 Aug 1881. John French, 12 Nov 1788 - 18 Apr 1870. Mary A. (French) Ludwick, wife of James M. Ludwick, 2 Jan 1831 - 9 Aug 1896. Mary (Polly) (French) Schmick, 1 Dec 1776 - 12 Nov 1858. Dorothy (Dolly) (French) Vermilion, 27 Aug 1791- 21 May 1858. Buried at the Ludwick Family Cemetery, Quirks Run Road, East of Nevada, Mercer Co. near the Boyle County line, KY: John Ludwick, husband of Susannah French, 14 Oct 1778 4 Jun 1860. Susannah French, :23 Mar 1785 - 13 Aug 1863. Bennett Bull, husband of Christina French, 9 Jan 1768 - 25 Jan 1854. Marriage of Beneo and Christian Bull was 16 Aug 1788 by J. Bailey, Minister. Christina (French) Bennett, 15 Aug 1771 - 8 Ju11852. Mrs. Gerald A. Scheiman (Kaye) of 52133 Prescott Ave., South Bend, IN 46637-3935, tel: 219-272-2893, says she got the information that Henry French was born in Germany from a book written by Henry French's grandson, Ersom French, the son of Henry French, Jr. and his wife Elizabeth. FFA member Thresea R. Hamon [33] found Hemy French's middle name Creagar in "Jefferson County Kentucky Records", Vol. 5, p. 17, by Michael L. Cook, G.G.; and Bettie A. Cummings Cook, C.G., Book Publications, 3318 Wimberg Ave., Evansville, IN 47712. Jacob Creagar (or Reagar) bought property in Louisville from Henry Creagar French of Lincoln Co., KY. Jacob Creagar was also a gunsmith and blacksmith. Reference [35], a cousin to Ref [7], says the Frenches came with George Rogers Clark from the Shenandoah Valley to Kentucky. Samuel was either a brother or father to Henry, and he went to Indiana. In West Liberty, KY, Henry received a land grant of 10,000 acres for being a Gunsmith. He had the rank of Lieutenant. Benjamin French of Woodford Co., KY, was also a brother. ........................ I am wondering if Samuel French is the person we are looking for. I found references to him on One World Tree on Ancestry and naturally without sources!!. I know he was in Orange county IN at the right time. One thing we have to remember is that they traveled together and usually didn't live too far apart. mhh

The Philip B. French who was bound out in 1821 (probably abt 11 at this time) is probably the Philip B. French who moved to Patoka, Gibson County, Indiana before 1850. He dies before 1860 and the family is listed under his wife, Ann in 1860, 1870 and 1880 in Patoka, Gibson, IN. His last son is also named Philip B (or D) and probably is the Philip B. French with spouse Annie Hickrod, license dated 5 Nov 1885 in Gibson, IN. I find this Philip B. interesting. He was born in New Jersey abt 1809. I wonder which John French living in New Jersey abt 1810 was living in Kentucky by 1821? In the 1850 Census, Gibson, IN, living next to him, a probable sister-in-law, Hannah French, 55, also born New Jersey, with a son Simon H., 22, born Kentucky and a daughter, Catherine J., 17, born Indiana. Phillip B. and Ann French named their children Peter, Martha Jane, Ephraim, Simon, William, and Phillip. The only John French I find in the 1810 census index for Kentucky is living in Mason Co., KY. He is age 45 and up, but has a younger wife, apparently, and shows 2 sons under age 10 and 2 sons age 10-16. This John was born 1765 or earlier.

I don't know if this will help, but just in case -- the document binding Philip B. French to Jonathan Rue as a bricklayer, plasterer and stone mason 21 February 1821 states that he is the orphan of John French, deceased. This John French is not Henry French's son John French. Henry's son John died April 1870. I am still looking for my notes from research I did in Lincoln County. I believe I am correct that John French died there and his widow was named Catherine. She remarried very quickly to one of the administrators of her husband's estate. I haven't been able to connect them to Henry yet, but a John French was the bondsman for Henry's daughter Christiana when she married Bennett Bull in 1789. David French was a witness. This could not have been Christiana's brother as bondsman because he was born in 1788. Unfortunately, the only records for the John French in Lincoln were very limited. No will, no administration papers, no children listed. Because of an action by the Administrative Office of the Courts here in Kentucky, all our circuit court records have been removed to Frankfort to Library and Archives. This does not include records held in the County Court Clerk's Office so while I can't search lawsuits in Lincoln or Mercer now, we still have the deeds, marriages, and probate records. Also Samuel French was definitely Henry's brother. There is a record or rather was a record that definitely stated Samuel was Henry's brother in a deposition attested to by Hugh McGary in the Mercer Circuit Court Records, Bundle F. Mr. Houts refers to Samuel French as the brother of the complainant Henry French. In one of the e-mails, Jacob is referenced as a brother of Henry. Does anyone have proof of this? I have been struggling, along with everyone else, with this brickwall for years too. Any help appreciated.

Marilyn, That George (there were so many) is the husband of Irena Adams then. I have heard of the French Family Chart #31, but I don't know how to get a copy. I am very interested in comparing that chart to what I have gathered. Are there any sources listed for the information on the chart? I am also curious about the Washington middle names for this guy and his father (who was born in 1782). Were people naming their children after George Washington even before he became President?

My 4ggrandfather George Washington Evans was b 23 Oct 1777. His son, my 3ggrandfather "Elder" John Evans, BTW, was married to Eunice Clark a daughter of John Clark, Sr. & Mary French and she was a daughter of Aaron French (of Aaron French and his Descendents fame.) I've also got another "George Washington" in my ancestry, George Washington Conrad, though he was b 1805. I wonder what the record is for the most distinct lines with a George Washington in them?

Marilyn, It doesn't look like that transcription of deeds came out right (I copied & pasted it into the e-mail). I am attaching the same information in a word document to this message. Also, are you referring to "George Washington French" as the George French, son of Henry and husband of Elizabeth Sturman? I would like documentation of his middle name if anyone has it.

Hi Marilyn, I had to respond, because my name is Philip French, And I live in Ringstead Northamptonshire, England.

That is very interesting, Phil, Interesting, too, is the fact that you live in the area where the Thomas French faimly lived before coming to America with William Penn. Has your family been in Northamptonshire forever? And have you submitted your DNA to our FRENCH DNA Project?

Dear Bill, thanks for your letter. I keep hoping to find the answer to my question. In searching collateral lines, specifically the Randall family, I have a better idea of where the French's were. While I would like for it to be true, I really wonder if Phillip ties in to the Henry French line. I still think he was probably related to the George Washington French of Vermilion co. IL. (I spent most of my life in that area) I looked for a French who married a Warner but it was farther back. Maybe the Randall Warner connection has the clue to finding them.

She mar in Apr. 1818 to Moses Brannon(an) living in same place but mar. in Franklin Co. Ind.( adjoining Dearborn Co) but used Keziah Davis on mar. cert. It may been that court house was closest to her in Franklin Co. than one in Dearborn. I have sent out so many messages for info and looked everywhere and closest I came was maybe she came from Green Co. Tn. 1850 cenasus there has French in it and Moses was born there in 1796 Cassandra b unk. in 1797, She d in 1890 at 95 yr.s in Tama , Tama Co Iowa. Bur, in Kozsta, Iowa Co.

Jeff, Have you seen the French Family DNA Project website? I see James B. French listed in the project results at http://small-stuff.com/FRENCH/DNA/results.htm. If you click on Test# F07368 it says: "James B. French was born in 1832 in Ohio and died in 1887 at Stipshill, Franklin Co, IN. His wife, Julia Ann Brown, was born in 1838 in OH and died in 1892 in Franklin Co., IN. Their son, Willard H. French, was born in 1853 at Beuna Vista, Franklin Co., IN. His wife, Julia Bell Hanway, was born in 1854 in IN and died in 1941 in Sheridan, WY. Their son, Cassius Clarence French, was born in 1887 in Nebraska and died in 1953 at Sheridan, WY. His wife, Etta Thea Allman, was born in 1889 in MI and died in 1956 at Sheridan, WY."

Thank you Dianna Rose for your information on the John French cem. stone. I enjoyed going into the Genealogy office when in Harrodsburg. It was such an old building and I wondered how many of my French relatives had cross that threshold. Do you live in Harrodsburg? Shirley
