Hi Marilyn: I look forward to reading what your "clues" are. Also we were in Mercer County, KY a few years ago, and found the Ludwick cemetery, the Nield Cemetery and another cemetery near there, called the Salt River Cemetery. In the Salt River Cem., there was a stone for John French, b. May 15, 1844 and died, Nov 9, 1920. I have not been able to place him in any family Would anyone know who this man was, and where he fits?
