Seeking information on Nicholas France who died in Steubenville in 1806 and his family. According to the probated will he left land, Lot No. 1 Eleventh Township, Fourth Range, to his grandson John France, son of Jacob France. He also left the remainder of his estate to son Peter France , son-in-law Samuel Underwood and grandson John France. Cash bequests were made to daughter Eliza Ruse (Reiss ?) ( husband Michael), Margaret Underwood, Mary Shumaker, Barbarey Spunaugle and Elizabeth Tumbleston ( husband Nathaniel).

I looked the name up and could find nothing on Nicholas, but pass these on in case it they could prove helpful. The 1810 Tax list for Jeff. co lists a John and a Peter in Buffalo Twp. The only marriages listed 1798-1820 in the Jeff co. courthouse records are of Elizabeth France, who married George Rider in 1808 and John France, who married Elizabeth Myers in 1816.
