Dear Warren,
Can you you or will you share what you have on your wife's FRENCH line in
Massachusetts? My wife has a William FRENCH who was from someplace in
Massachusetts, a Revolutionary War soldier and then migrated west in
sometime around 1810-1819. What I mean by west was the "Western Reserve",
i.e. Geauga Co., Ohio. William married a woman by the name of Elizabeth
AVERY of the Groton, Connecticut AVERYs. Got any clues?

Thanks,
Tom
