I am still not sure about Joseph French, Sr.'s spouse. I don't dispute anyone's theory or hypothesis on whether he married a "Ward" or "Sallier". I just want (for my own satisfaction) to have proof positive, and I'm truly not convinced one way or the other.I believe that the truth lies in the "Hancock" family. It appears that Hector Hancock was appointed guardian to Joseph French (age 12) in Carteret County in 1737/38.With that being a fact, surely he (Joseph), had to have been considered close to that family.
