Hello, Have a William French in my background, believed to have been my GGG Grandfather, estimate he was born about 1780, probably in South Carolina. He was married to Nancy Chapman, and their daughter Frances French Bagley of Independence Co., AR was my GG Grandmother. Per 1850 census Frances birthdate is given as 1804 and Kentucky was listed as her birthplace. Believe William lived in Livingston Co., KY prior to coming to Arkansas Territory in early 1800's. A Nancy French is shown in 1850 census for Izard Co., AR living with younger family members, her age is given as 72, and place of birth given as South Carolina. Assume she is the widow of my William French. Have tried to fit William into the line of Joseph French of SC, or maybe son of Simon French in Christian Co., KY? Best regards, Grace
