There are so many John's in this line it's hard to tell. The will I'm looking for is for John FRENCH father of Joseph F., William, Ann, John Jr., Ignatius, Mary, and Elizabeth. I know recently someone on the list mentioned that Johns's will mentioned only sons. (I believe they were descended from Joseph) They also supplied a long lineage which went back to my starting point, Martin. I am interested in the will because I'm confused on my Ignatius's. If they are right and I am wrong, I have a whole new generation to worry about. I know your French line is the same as mine, so maybe you can help straighten me out. 1 Martin, Galway, Ireland 2 James 1650 d. 1733 (have will) m. Elizabeth Meekin 3 Francis 3 Mary m. 1st Robert Thompson, 2nd Thomas Cissell, 3rd Charles Daft 4. George Thompson 4. Elizabeth Thompson 4. James Thompson 4. Adam Cissell 4. Matthew Daft 4. Mary Daft 3 Martin m. Mary Brown 4.Elizabeth 4. Mary 4. John (looking for will) 4. Ignatius m. Susannah 5. Elinor 5. Martin 5. Ann 5. James m. Susan(nah) Melton 5. Raphael Thomas m. Mary 5. Stephen 5. Mary 5. Ignatius 4. William Is this your line? And if so, are you in agreement? The posted information I am questioning had another layer between James and Martin, I think it was John.
