Hi, I ran across this tonite at the library maybe there is some connection to a post that I saw on the Prince William County, Virginia board which I will post at the end of this message. No other Frenches are listed in the book. David Abstract of the Will of James French Prince William County, Virginia Will filed 3 May 1743 wife: Elizabeth son: William daughter: Mary Ann.

Post from Prince William County, VA Board McCARTY, BEATTY, FRENCH, BALL Author: Wayne Greene Date: 28 May 1998 12:00 PM GMT Classification: Query I'm researching the following families from Prince William County, Virginia. I descend from William McCarty born possibly in Prince William County. His parents were Thaddeus McCarty and Sarah Elizabeth Richardson. Thaddeus McCarty was the son of Dennis McCarty and Sarah Ball. I would like to have any information about the family of William French. His will was probated in 1790 in Prince William County, Va. His son Stephen French appears as exec. on several wills in Prince William County. William's children were James, Mary, Margareitt, Kezia, Elizabeth, Susannah, and Stephen French. Who were the parents of William French. Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.virginia.counties.princewilliam&m=319

I am descended from Elizabeth French. The Death Records of Tazewell County list her parents as Stephen and Eve French and her birthplace as Maryland. I have looked for information about Stephen French for a long time. Yours is the first link I have found even though it is in Virginia rather than Maryland. Do you have a possible DOB for Stephen?
