Hiram L. French b. NY d. GA
Hiram L. French was born in Hampton, NY, 02 December 1818 he died in Atlanta, GA 17 September 1875. I know he came to GA as a young man settling in Olgethorpe County. It is there he married Emiline Hurt. He had various occupations during the years, as store owner, hotel owner, planter. He served in Confederate army as Captain of the "Schley Guards." He also represented Schley county in the Legislature, and was a member of the secession convention in GA. He was also mayor of Americus, GA for two terms.
I am trying to find information on who his parents may be. There is an Ann E. French listed in the 1860 Mortality Schedule for Schley County, GA. She is 64 years old and her occupation was listed as Domestic, she was born in NY and her death occurred in April 1860 of Pneumonia .
I am hoping someone will recognize some of this information and be able to help me with the names of Hiram's parents.
Thank you, I am willing to share what information I have on Hiram.
