Hi Rachael, Thank you for posting your info, it helped me a lot. The only tidbit of info I can give you is the name of the second wife of Martin Luther French 2nd. Her name is Laura Belle Shroyer. I have no further info on her as of yet. My source was an old family genealogy that was passed down to me by a my mother in law, who's mother was a French from MA.
