Thank you for replying Margaret. I am sorry for your loss. If your husband's original
query on Eliza Swift French was because she was an ancestor, I guess I lost a cousin too.
I'll try to get in touch with the Ripley County Historical Society to see if he was a
descendant or just interested in who she and her husband were because of the French name.
I am a Swift descendant and around 1830, many of them "disappeared". I think
there may have been an epidemic and I have been trying to find possible descendants from
any surviving children. Lynne
