Tommie, John C. French, my great grandfather, was born in 1856 in Port Allegheny, McKean County, PA. He was raised in Roulette, Potter County, PA and married Effie Deans Donshea. John attended college in Ohio, but other than that, resided only in PA and for a brief while in the souther tier of New York state. Good luck with your research. Marion Scherer
