DNA for Jonathan French
#2.1 (see Group 4)
There is no known connection yet of the other 3 families that match DNA records.
SamuelÕs father could be Samuel French, m. Eunice White (1754-1815). Samuel was b. 14 Mar 1763 in Fitchburg, Worcester Co., MA, d. 22 Dec 1799. He m. Eunice White who was b. 14 Feb 1754 in Lancanster, MA, d. 1815. They were m. 14 Oct 1784 in Lancaster, Worcester, MA and had 6 children: Levi, Christopher, Lucinda, Seth, Abel, and Samuel, b. 5 Jun 1782 in KY.
Samuel French who m. Eunice White could be the son of Joseph French, b. 29 May 1726 in Salisbury, Essex Co., MA, d. 31 Dec 1753, MA, who m. Abigail. He m. Abigail on 8 Jan 1753, age 26. This concludes that this family is from FFA Chart #4. However, the DNA of at least one member of this chart is shows DNA Group 4, and the DNA for Edward French, FFA Chart #4 shows DNA Group 3. Therefore, the genealogy is this aforementioned Background is probably incorrect.
1.1 Samuel French, b. 5 Jun 1782 in KY, m1. Betsey Baker on 1 Feb 1810 in Fitchurg, Worcester, MA and had one daughter, Eliza French, b. 13 Aug 1810 in Fitchburg. Samuel m2. Julia Ann Dougherty ca. 1815. She was b. 11 Oct 1796 in KY and d. 4 Apr 1854 in Orange Co., IN. Julia Ann Dougherty or Daugherty, was the daughter of Samuel Daugherty and Polly Williams. Samuel m. Julia before 1824, probably in KY, and they homesteaded in Northwest Territory in Orange County, IN. Samuel d. 21 Sep 1841, age 52y, 5m, 16d and is buried in the French Family Graveyard in Northwest Township, Section 29, T3N R2W, Orange County, IN. It was thought that SamuelÕs father was David French, b. ca. 1765, FFA Chart #193, but DavidÕs son Samuel m. Frances Hudson, not Julia Ann Dougherty; however, the two lines have the same DNA.
1.2* George Hedges French, b. 1 Oct 1784 in KY, d. 28 Jun
1847 in Northwest township, Orange Co., IN, m. Mary Polly Robbins [1] Robbins
on 8 Jun 1809 in Louisville, KY. She was b. ca. 1790 in VA, d. ca. 1860 in
Orange Co., IN. From "U. S. Adj. General, Muster, Pay & Receipt Rolls of
Indiana Territory Volunteers or Militia, War of 1812," vol. 2: pp. 437,

They said she did not prove his death. She applied again 22 March 1859 &

Ref [2] received the following information about Jonathan French, who is included in the French surname DNA project, Group 4, which also includes David French of KY, John Peter French of SC, and Jacob French of Berkeley Co., WV.
The library sent copies of 2 family group sheets for the George Hedges French - Mary "Polly" Robbins family. There isn't a date or contact name on either of these sheets, but they were located in the library's "French family" folder (Genealogy Collection, Box 41, Folder #2). Each group sheet lists the same 10 children for this couple, but in a different order. And both sheets say that the oldest child was Jonathan French, b. 1810 in Indiana. It looks like the compiler of one of the family group sheets had found probate papers for George's wife because it says: "When her estate was settled in 1867 3 ch. were dead." It also says "George had brothers, Samuel and James".
Children listed for George Hedges FRENCH and Mary ROBBINS
on the 1st group sheet are:
1. Jonathan b. ca 1810; m. Catherine Batchelor
2. Hulda b. ca 1817; m. John Pru or Pro

The second group sheet also says: "John C French m Susannah was son of Samuel, George's brother.
The library sent a copy of the 1855 application for bounty land by widow Mary French (due to George H French's service in the War of 1812). This includes 6 pages of handwritten testimony. In her testimony Mary says "that she was married to the said George H French in the County of Jefferson State of Kentucky on or about the 8th day of June 1809 by John Hite a preacher of gospel and that her name before her said marriage was Mary Robbins ..."
There was also a copy of an article (p. 290) about the James and Eliza French family of Widner Township and several of their descendants in the Knox County (Indiana) History book - 1988 edition. This article says James was born in 1816 and Eliza was born in 1824.

Descendants of Samuel French from Jan Lund
Generation No. 1 1. Samuel1 French was born 1787 in Kentucky, and died 02 September 1841. He married Julia Ann Daugherty Bef. 1824 in Probably Kentucky, daughter of Samuel Daugherty and Polly Williams. Notes for Samuel French: From an article in the newspaper when Samuel FRENCH died, it stated he was 54 years old. Since he died 2 September 1841, that would make his birth year 1787.He would have been 9 years older than Julia Ann. In the 1900 Census, Samuel's daughter, Mary Ann Bruner, stated that her mother and father were born in Kentucky. She was living in Des Moines, Iowa with a daughter at the time. I have the photocopy of the census record.

Haven't posted to this list in quite awhile so here goes.
My 4th Great Grandfather, Adam BRUNER, Jr. died in Orange County, Indiana 8 April 1849. Some of his children like Alfred BRUNER who married Mary WILSON stayed in Orange County and perhaps some others. Would there be a record of his death anywhere in Orange County that someone could check for me? Also looking for descendants of Samuel FRENCH and Julia Ann DOUGHERTY (daughter of Robert DOUGHERTY, 2nd Senator for Kentucky, of Barren County, Kentucky.
Samuel is on the tax lists for Northwest Township in about 1817. Entered land in 1836. Old homestead was still standing a couple of years ago and I have pictures and pictures of the headstones in cemetery by house.
Samuel and Julia were born "in Kentucky" per their children's census records but have been unable to find out where or the name of Samuel's parents. Samuel had a brother named George Hedges FRENCH who is buried in the same graveyard in Northwest Twp.
Any help with any of these people would be greatly appreciated.
Julia and Samuel's children were all born between 1812 and 1840
George Welborn FRENCH
George had 3 wives:
1. George W. French & Malinda Douglass, 4-14-1842
2. George W. French & Nancy Clark, 11-2- 1854
3. George W. French & Nancy Batchelor
Eliza FRENCH m. Eli FAUCETT
Robert Dougherty FRENCH m. Nancy KIRK
Joseph FRENCH
Mary Ann FRENCH m. David Simpson BRUNER
Salina Catherine FRENCH m. James Robert ANDERSON (Believe Salina was the
only daughter who didn't move to Indiana. She was married in Barren County,
KY and lived in Metcalfe County, Kentucky.
John Candor FRENCH m. Susannah K. BRUNER (daughter of Adam BRUNER, Sr. so
she was a brother to Adam BRUNER, Jr. and David Simpson BRUNER who married
John's sister, Mary Ann .....it just goes round and round, doesn't it?
Nancy H. FRENCH m. Hardin GAMMON
Thomas FRENCH m. Jane ?
Any info, as I said, will be greatly appreciated!

Desperately seeking
information on Samuel FRENCH (1787-1841) who migrated from Kentucky to
Northwest Twp., Orange County, Indiana in early
1800's. He married Julia Ann DOUGHERTY 11 October 1811....cannot
locate marriage record in any book or CD which really exasperates me! Here is a
short outline of this family in Orange County. Would love to hear from someone
who has information about these people....."ANY"
little tidbit! Do know that Samuel's brother, George Hedges FRENCH married Mary
Polly ROBBINS in Louisville, Jefferson County, KY 08 June 1809. Thanks for
anything! Jan Lund
