According to an article I found when doing a Google search of Peter French, I found John William French nicknamed Peter they say perhaps after his father, was born April 30, 1849 and came to California as a child with his parents from Missouri, then he made it on his own to Oregon where he became a Cattle King.He married Ella Glenn 1883 divorced 1891.he is buried in Oak Hill Cemetary, Red Bluff, California, with his parents.He had a brother Burt that handled some of his affairs.
John William (Peter)French B. April 30, 1849-December 26, 1897
