Dorothy, I have a William H. French, son of Nehemiah French and Margaret Shaff. William was born ca 1840, probably in either Middlebury, Tioga Co., PA or in Horseshead, Chemung Co., NY. William was listed as living in Colorado at the time of his father's death in 1906. I haven't been able to track William down. William had two sisters, Sara D. French, b. ca. 1843, m. William R. Morey, d. ca 1869 in Minnesota; and Martha Rosanna French, b. ca 1841, m. Elisha Willoughby, d. unknown. William also had a half sister (is there really such a thing) and a half brother, through Nehemiah's second wife, Olive Churchill, widow of unknown Samson. These siblings were, Esther Elizabeth French, b. 19, April, 1862, Clara, McKean County, PA, m. William H. Hazen, died after 1934; and my great grandfather, John Churchill French, b. 13, august, 1856, Port Allegheny, McKean County, PA, m. Effie Deans Donshea, d. 6, November, 1934. Add to those siblings the two sons of Olive Churchill by her first husband unknown Samson - the boys were George Samson b. ca 1846 and Joseph A. Samson, b. 1850. I do know that Joseph Samson was close to his siblings and later in life he and my great grandfather were in business together. I have Joseph living in Kentucky - then later in Whitefish, Montana. What do you think?? Marion Scherer
