I am wondering if anyone has access to the Adair County Court Order Book covering 1817. I am looking for an entry in Book D, p. 14, concerning a John French. I have the records on microfilm up till 1815, but not later years. The reason for my interest is that we have tested the DNA from descendants of three sons of Bryant and Milly Flanagan. One line, their first son John was born around 1815, does not match descendants of two younger sons of Bryant and Milly. Since we tested descendants of two sons of that John Flanagan, the DNA almost certainly signature dates back to John and does not represent a later non-paternity event in that line. Their DNA signature does match at a high resolution several members of the French surname DNA project, and given that Milly's maiden name was French, discussion with the lab and the French surname project folks, we believe it represents an adoption. I checked my microfilm index and there is an entry for a John French in 1817 with "Apptd Guardian" in the nature column. I don't know if this John French was appointed someone's guardian but am interested in learning what is in this entry.

Jim, Many thanks for your msg! It hadn't crossed my mind that he could have been wounded in action and but was unable to return stateside & died from the wounds well after the end of the war. The reason for the query, by the way, is that I'm trying to find the death dates & places of burial of the soldiers from Russell Co. who died during World War One. I have all the death dates but still have a few graves to locate in Russell County. It appears that the remains of the other 13 casualties were returned there for (re)burial. Thanks again for your reply. I really do appreciate it.
