  1. 1.  James Gentry FRENCH was born on 31 Aug 1855 in Greeneville, Greene, TN; died on 3 Apr 1939 in Central City, Merrick, NE; was buried in Bureau Cemetery, Clarks, Merrick, NE.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Census: 8 Jun 1880, Miles Point, Carroll, MO
    • Census: 19 Jun 1900, Hendricks Precinct, Otoe, NE
    • Census: 26 Apr 1910, Mead Township, Merrick, NE
    • Census: 6 Apr 1920, Lone Tree Township, Merrick, NE
    • Census: 24 Apr 1930, Lone Tree Township, Merrick, NE

    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. NC/OH; children b. MO, parents b. TN/TN: Arch, b. Feb 1885, 15; Gilbert, b. Jun 1890, 9; John, b. Jun 1892; Emmet, b. Dec 1893; Crawford, b. Oct 1899, 7/12, b MO, parents b. TN/IN; Alma Daily, step-daughter, b. Oct 1886, 13, b. OH, parents b. OH/IN; Ornald, step-son, b. Mar 1895, 5, b. MO, parents b. OH/IN.

    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. MO, parents b. TN/IN; Pressley, 8, b. NE, parents b. TN/IN; Sabra Curtis, 22, daughter, marital status illegible, 1 child born/1 living, b. MO, parents b. TN/TN; Vera, 2, granddaughter, 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.

    Census:
    1920 census at Lone Tree Township shows J. L. Franks, 64, b. TN, parents b. TN/TN, farmer; Sadie, 34, b. NE, parents b. TN/NE; children b. NE: Beatrice, 6; Walden, 4.

    Census:
    1930 census at Lone Tree Township, Merrick, NE shows: James French, 74, first married at 23, b. TN, parents b. TN/TN, truck farmer; Sadie, 46, first married at 27, b. NE, parents b. NE/IN, children b. NE: Beatrice, 15; Walden, 14; Virginia, 7, Viola, 6; Loretta, 3 3/12.
