Jack, I will try to help you with what I know, as I think this is my French family, too... First, I found a Michael French and a Nathaniel French in Spartanburg County, South Carolina in 1810. Then I found Michael, Nathaniel and a Thomas French in Franklin County, Tennessee in 1820. Then in 1830 I think this Michael (who was probably the father) was in Perry County, Tennessee along with another Michael (probably a son). My Nathaniel French went on and was in Green County, Illinois in 1830 and then went on to Texas. I think the Michael French that was in Spartanburg County, South Carolina was the father of my Nathaniel, Michael, Larkin, Thomas and Oliver. My Nathaniel seemed to name his children after his brothers, Michael and Oliver. I have been corresponding with a lady who seems to know quite a bit about this family. Her name is Rose and her e-mail is Whotee1@aol.com If you all find anything new I would truly appreciate hearing about it.

Some can be found if what is Gibson County I believe. I have very little information on this line besides my family line. Any help is appreciated.
