Hello, I have a John C. French born in Maryland abt 1805 married Ann Nancy Baker. Their children were: John French born 1838 William French born 1842 Ellen French born 1845 Sarah Sudia French 1848 John C. French shows up in the 1850 Census in Montgomery County KY. There also was a William that showed up about the same time, also born in Maryland. I believe that they might be brothers. I have been stumped on finding any information about John or his parents. Does anybody have any information on this line? Thank you, Scott Haggard
