Marion, Just read your post about J.C. FRENCH. My little FRENCH family starts with Ebenezer FRENCH b. 1808 - d.1876 in Monroe County, NY. Now, bear with me! Ebenezer FRENCH's daughter, Delia FRENCH married James N. HUBBARD. Their son, George Marquis HUBBARD married Sarah Jane THOMPSON. They all remained in Monroe County, NY. Sarah Jane THOMPSON' father was William A. THOMPSON b. 1834 - d. 1919. William attended Antioch College in Ohio. His "diploma" was signed by Horace Mann, the instigator of our public school system. William A. THOMPSON's father was Reverand Johnathan S. THOMPSON who was also very involved with Horace Mann. Finally, to get to the point! What school in Ohio did J. C. FRENCH attend? If it was Antioch, there is a good chance that our FRENCHs are related. My group of FRENCH, THOMPSON, HUBBARD stuck together in Monroe County, NY, but there don't appear to be any of their sibblings there. I realize this is a long shot, but that's what makes it so interesting! Thanks for reading, Jocelyn Hubbard, Gaithersburg, MD
