That is my family, but I'm sorry to say I don't go back any further than that. However, when you get down to William D. and wife Sophia Anne Martin, know that there is a first wife Ella Leora Mizner with whom he had a son, John, and that John had many descendants that all go by the name of Reid as he did. I have all of that information if you would like it. Linda Kay Steve Kraus wrote: > > Still searching for ancestry of: > Noah French, b. 2-28-1754 Morristown, NJ, d. 11-14-1843 Hermon NY > married 1.

Children of Noah French and Mary Rolf: Jemima b. 1772, Henry b. 1774, Sarah b. 1779, Eunas b. 1781, Ralph b. 1783 Children of Noah French and Johanna Campbell: Mary b. 1787, John b. 1789, Alexander b. 1791, Noah b. 1794 Johannah b. 1798, Elias b. 1801, George b. 1803 Steve

Noah and Johanna had these children: Mary b. 1787, sp. George; John 1789 , sp. Abigail Freeman; Johanna, 1798, sp. Allen; Elias 1801, sp. Mary and George, 1803 sp. Sally. John (17i89) and his wife Abigail Freeman had a son, John French, b 1815 in New York. John married Charlotte REECH (or Leach). They had (1) Abigail Lorenza b. 1845, (2) Martha H. b. 1846 and (3) William DAniel b. 28 July 1848 in Grand Rapids, Kent Co. MI. William Daniel first married Ella Leora Mizner abt 1878 and had a son named John. John had quite an extensive descendany, but had changed his name to Reid when his father (William Daniel) marrried a younger women in England that he met while traveling there as a tobacco dealer. Her name was Sophia Anne Martin. I descend from John Reid or FRENCH. I don't believe John was ever officially adopted to change his name to Reid, as that marriage didn't last long, but all of his descendants use that name. It's a shame, because our cousin, Harry Reid, U.S. Senator from Nevada should really be Harry French! Harry and I played as cousins in the little gold mining town of Searchlight, Nevada where he grew up, and I lived in Las Vegas which is about 45 minutes away. I have the whole shebang of cousins, second cousins...You might want to take a second look at what I have. I do have certificates and pictures as well. I had to laugh when you said you didn't have William D. in your family. I would love to share anything that I have with you if you would like. While I go back as far as Noah French, Sr. b. 1754, d. 1843, I believe Noah's father was named William. Let me know if you would like me to send you anything.
