To all who are researching Henry: I found the following information about Henry French in The Centenary of Louisville by Reuben T. Durrett, published in Louisville, KY by J. P. Morton and Co., printers to the Filson Club, 1893 (It is available online on Heritage Quest--many libraries have this database): Page 33 - In April, 1779 Henry French was appointed trustee of the newly-established city of Louisville, KY-- "The first official step toward establishing the town of Louisville at the Falls of the Ohio was taken on the 17th of April, 1779, when the inhabitants who were there, in conformity with the recommendations of the Court of Kentucky County touching the establishing of new towns, held a public meeting and appointed trustees for that purpose. The Trustees selected were William Harrod, Richard Chenowith, Edward Bulger, James Patton, Henry French, Marsham Brashears, and Simeon Moore. These Trustees then met and adopted rules for their government. They agreed upon a plan of the town to be called Louisville, laid off the ground they selected along the river into half-acre lots, made a map of their work, and appointed April 24, 1779, for each inhabitant to draw one lot in a public lottery." Pages 142-143 - Henry French drew Lot 92 on 24 Apr 1779-- "Appendix F. ...BY WHOM DRAWN: Henry French, NUMBERS (lot number): 92." Others drawing lots that day included Isaac Bowman, Jonathan and Squire Boone, Edward Bulger (Henry was a witness to his will in 1782), Samuel and William Harrod, Michael Humble (described in the same book as the first gunsmith in Louisville), Nicholas Merriwether, John Paul, and Jacob Reager (mentioned in FFA Chart #31).
