Dear Listers, Note that there is a Jooseph French born about 1841 in Lawrence County, OH. He is the son of Jeremiah and Lydia (Smith) French. This Joseph French died February 21, 1913 Lawrence County OH. He married Francis Bayle November 6, 1866 in Lawrence County, OH. I believe she died sometime before 1910, probably in Lawrence County OH. Joseph is a brother to my Great Grandfather Marian Francis (Frank) French. Joseph and Francis French children include (1) Minnie French b Sep 30, 1879 m Alvin Munyan June 10, 1899; (2) Sherman French b abt 1883 OH; (3) Laura French b Mar 3 1885, m Garfield Butcher May 23 1903 all in Lawrence County, OH; (4) Earnest French b abt 1890, is 20 years old on the 1910 census; (5) Jesse French b abt 1892, living with father Joseph on the 1910 census, all Lawrence County OH.
