GET READ SKIP! I HAVE MY PIPE OUT! <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/MDEROOTS/MatthewFrench.html">Click here: MATTHEW FRENCH</A> In my quest to find the connection to Harless and French, the closes I could get to was the marriage of: 6. Annie FRENCH b- ab 1772? m-73/1792 Montgomery Co. Va to General Elisha McComas 1770-1849 Cabell Co. W(VA) And: From Lawrence County History printed in 1991 Two Twin brothers, John H. French and Lihugh(JeHugh) French. Both were widowers with small children. John's first wife was Eliza J. Honaker, who he had married in Giles Co. on May 6, 1847, LeHugh's wife was Amanda. It states John's great-grandfather was Matthew French who's wife was Sallie Payne. John's grandparents were John French and Obedience Clay. Then it states Hugh Caperton French and Levici Lambert were his parents. He and his brother married sisters Mary Hazlett and Ann Hazlett. I have not found a connection to this line and My Harless Line or any other line of mine! But, I'm wondering if Hazlett is Harless! This line of FRENCH can be found in Lawrence Co. KY after 1850. But, the area they lived in became part of Boyd Co. Part of the Harless from Branchland left after the 1870 Census and moved to Lawrence Co. KY. This leads me to believe that a family member could have been in this area. As many of you know I have been searching for this Dr. French who was my Grandfather's(Chester Thomas Harless) physican just before he died. My grandfather stated to my mother we were related to Dr. August French. Thanks to the Lawrence Co. Society for publishing the book "Lawrence County History" I was able to find out the first name of this Dr. His name was Dr. August French and he practiced in Man, Logan Co. WV. Dr. August French was the son of Ballard (TOBE) French and Lillie Dean who resided in Vessie, KY. Ballard's parents were: John N.(H) French and Mary Hazlett daughter of Robert and Margaret(Holiday)Hazlett. John and his brother married sisters on March 9, 1855 in Lawrence Co. KY, in a double wedding! John and Mary(Hazlett)French both died at East Fork(1922 and 1917) Now, EAST FORK is were my Harless line lived! AND where my Grandfather Chester Harless grew up! So, those who are Hazlett's, I'm wondering if they are Harless! Love to hear from anyone from this line! Sincerely Kathy Lynn PS. I would love to buy this book if anyone has it forsale! "Lawrence County History" published in 1991!
