Ralph, I do not have a copy of the Will I gave you the location and date of the Will. It is up to you to obtain a copy if you think this is your family and have an interest. It isn't my line.

(Brown) and Joseph P. French. As I may have mentioned before, I am descended through their daughter, Sarah Josephine (French) Banks. If it pertains to my French line, I will really appreciate a copy of the will mentioned, and any further related information that may come about. We are told that the father of Joseph P. French deceased when Joseph was quite young, leaving Mary W. (Brown) French to raise the family by herself; does this will reflect this? Best regards to all, Ralph Banks, Austin, TX
