Philip French and Sarah Randall started their married life in 1813 in Butler County, Ohio. We cannot prove the
parentage or siblings of Philip French. Progress has been made with a recent DNA test that shows a close
relationship with Henry French of Mercer co. Kentucky. (FFA Chart #31) I believe that Philip and David French
who married Rebecca Sturman were related in some way. George H. and Samuel French may also be brothers
or cousins of Philip.
In looking at many records, and knowing a little about the movement of the migration of people, I think this group
of French's might have been in the area around Hedgesville, WV. Philip's wife Sarah was born in Hardy co. VA,
not far away. I have recently found evidence of a French/Warner connection but cannot establish the connection
to Philip.
The sources that we have used are census, cemetery records, legal documents, land records, marriage records,
obituaries, and comparing notes with other researchers of this line. I have been ably assisted by Nora French
Lane and Deb Skoff.
There are some areas that have not been completely researched at this time. We welcome additions or
corrections that can be proven.
