Happy New year, Thanks Dorothy and Sharon I will be watching for and Davis and French connections from your lines for sure. To all my unknown French and Davis descendant cousins , I am trying still to find. Well , below is a message similar to what i posted some time back about 4 months. I hope all Frenches can check their lines and see if they have any names of CASANDRA or KEZIA+H as that is a nick name and she used it once that I have found. If you have a name of either in your line even tho it may not be her, there somewhere may be a branch from there that she could be in. Maxine Baldwin Wilton in Wa mmwaw@sprynet.com Dear Dearborn and Indianna Lister, I am after 20 yrs, STILL, looking for mygr gr granmother's parents and siblings. Cassandra Frenck b 1796 census says Va. She mar a William Davis in 1812 in Dearborn Co Ind.?? on Ind. Were there any French's in Dearborn or Franklin Co's or thers, Ind in early 1800's that were her parents.She had 2 sons by Davis, Joshua and John, b Jun 1813 and Dec 1814. Unk what happened to William. By Apr 1818 Cassandra is marrying Moses Brannan(on) in Franklin Co using spelling of KEZIAH Davis. but they lived in Dearborn Co untill abt 1828 then went to Jackson Co Ind. 1820 census does not show either Joshua or John in home with Cassandra and new family, Brannan's. By abt 1826 Joshua, by court is bound over to a Gerrard or Guard and it said that he was an orphan. Why listed as orphan when his mother is mar and living there. Who or where were these 2 sons from 1818 till found in Jackson Co Ind in 1830's???? Does anyone have ties to French's in Dearborn Co or Cassandra's parents or Wm Davis's parnets?? Cassandra was 95 when she died living with oldest son, William , Brannan(en) in Toledo, Tama Co Ia in 1890. She bur with Moses (d 1871( in Koszta, Cem in Koszta, Iowa Co Ia. Was Wm and Cassandra divorced? was he killed or did he die?? Who were his Parents. Cassandra was abt 16 when mar to William Davis so her parents must have been living close. in Dearborn Co or maybe next door Franklin Co. as she mar moses there. Any help welcome.
