Box 97, Ennis, Texas, 75120, c 1986) Source also lists Ignatius French (1705-1771) as William’s brother, and the family names strongly tie him to Susanna and William. The wills of Ignatius and several of his sons are found here: http://www6.ewebcity.com/lronan/frenchwills.htm#IgnatiusFrenchSR. There is no James French who had a daughter Susanna.
