My great-great grandfather, Robert...Great article! My great-great grandfather, Robert French, was Luther French's brother. Robert was about ten years than Luther.<br /><br />I think I can shed some light on where Martin French came from. From my research, I think that he is the son of Louisa Fuller (William's 2nd wife) by her first husband whose name I don't know. William must have adopted him.<br /><br />Also, the French line in the story is correct back to where Michael shows up. For a long time I had that lineage in my family tree too. I received an awesome document from one of my contacts on Ancestry.com and it shows that it was William French (yes, another one!) that came to America, not Michael. And he came from Ireland, not England. I recently had my DNA done and I DO have some Irish in me.

Luther and Polly Emiline were my 3rd great-grandparents, and as it so happens, Harriett Louisa French Holliday was my great-great-grandmother.<br /><br />The author did a great job on the genealogical information; many trees have Luther biologically attached to his step-mother, Louisa (Lois) Fuller, who did live with Luther along with his father who was 80 years old at the time. The evidence is slim, but careful examination by several researchers has borne all this out. <br /><br />And, of course, there were at least three "Luther Frenches" alive about the same time, which is a typical frustration for genealogists and potential cause for viral mistakes among trees. mentummikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516702143980497519noreply@blogger.com
