That might be hard, there are several French Strothers, never mind this is the Patriot I believe his wife is Lucy Coleman so just how it works with your people <G> I don't know http://books.google.com/books?id=XXIUAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA103&lpg=PA103&dq=%22french+strother%22+coleman&source=web&ots=IHXwRKRYow&sig=5OYFF9ju_nAqxvGRnGuQCA3Le18&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result I googled French Strother and got the above, I think you could find a ton online. Page 103 of the above is pretty complete about French Strother and his parents Margaret French and James Strother. They connect thru the Miches and the Pannils so I pay attention; and my grandmother swore we were Strother descendants, I can't find it but My ancestor married first a Pannill and then a Strother and was grandmother to JEB Stuart and Pres. Taylor. Eliz On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 4:08 PM, marsha moses <mosesm@earthlink.net> wrote: > While looking at the Virginia Herald adds, I viewed the below > information.
