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.

Maxine, I have a William Miles FRENCH married to Martha DAVIS. My information says William was born in 1838 in OH, don't know where in OH, and Martha born in VA in 1842. Prior to this I have nothing except that the census records say his mother was born in VA and his father in TN! William and Martha lived in Cabell Co, WV until after 1880 when they went to AR stopping in Ripley TN for sure. They could have been in IN briefly, maybe. Do you think it is possible that your Davis and French are related to my Davis and French?
