Can anyone expand on Martin FRENCH, son of Ignatius, b. abt 1755 in St. Marys County, MD. I have married Sarah Unknown. Died before April 20, 1804. I did find him 1790 Census of St.Marys County as follows: Page 107, Line 253, FreeWhite Males over 16: 2, Females:2, Slaves: 2. Also found record for a Marten FRENCH in the Valley Forge Muster Roll ID MD18137, Marten French, Private, 2 MD Brigade, 5th Division, Captain John Davidson's Company. Dec 1777: Sick at Hospital, Jan thru April 1778: on command. I would love to find evidence of his wife and children, and possibly a will. Can any of you help?
