Diane : do you by chance have a robert french married to a cator and then a levins in your tree from thomas? possibly from lafford maybe? he was born circa 1784 ? he had a daughter named candice from which I come from but robert is my brick wall. joseph, thomas and samuel are common carried down names in this family. thanks for any help you may be able to give. They say he was born in NC and died in GA, he traveled between GA and FL also. Thanks again . gail
