Notes:

Census:
1880 census at Miles Point, Carroll, MO shows: James G. French, 24, farmer, b. TH, parents b. TN/TN; Marguerite, 21, b. TN, parents b. TN/TN; Claude S., 10/12, August, b. MO.

Census:
1900 census at Hendricks Precinct, Otoe, NE shows: James French, b. Aug 1855, 44, married 3 years, b. TN, parents b. TN/TN; Louisa, b. Dec 1861, 38, 8 children born/7 living, b. IN, parents b.

This census data raises a few questions. the birth year of Louisa is off by two years and a child is listed that I have trouble placing. My data shows that Louisa's first husband died in 1892. James and Louisa indicate they have been married 3 years. The child listed in this census as Ornald, age 5 doesn't seem to belong to either man.

Census:
1910 census at Mead Township, Merrick, NE shows: James French, 54, widower, b. TN, parents b. TN/TN, farmer; Emmett, 15, b. MO, parents b. TN/TN; Fred, 13, b. MO, parents b. TN/TN; Crawford, 10, b.

IA, parents b. NE/MO.

This census raises more questions. Fred listed as age 13 was not present in the 1900 census and Ornald is missing.
