"...Julia Ann French, b. 1815 in MD, d. 9 May 1857 (age 42) in Poor Valley, Tazewell Co., VA. Julia had six children with the French surname from a death certificate showing info given by brother Matthew French in 1849, Tannersville, Tazewell Co., VA [3]. Another record says Julia was a niece to Matthew, DAR, at Giles Co., VA [3]. Julia Ann is listed in the 1850 Tazewell Co., VA census as 35 years of age, born in Maryland [14]."The family legends are that Julia had children by several different men. One named Call, one named Floyd, possibly a Crabtree (most of this family was buried at the Crabtree Cemetery), and finally by William Allison whom she married [1]. Julia m. William Allison on 2 Jan 1851 in Tazewell Co., VA and they had 3 children. See Report below. She had relatives in Saltville, Smyth Co., VA, a town that supplied a large portion of the U.S. with table salt.
"Only thru DNA can the issue of the fathers of Julia’s children be solved. For example, you'd need to research the different men who could have been Albert's father, such as Call, Floyd, or Crabtree, -- then you'd need a male descendant for Albert to test his DNA. Mara did a bit of research on Floyd to check the times when he and Julia lived in the same area so she could rule out various children. You need to check Washington Co., VA around the 1835-1850 timeframe...."
