In the 1860 census Perry CO, Michael French, 26, born 1834, is listed as Franch instead of French. Nothing unusual about that since you find the name spelled all kinds of ways. BUT....also in that census is a Mahaffin (unusual name) Franch living with a Skaggs, listed as 78, born 1782. Is this another French?? If so, who did she belong to and where did she come from? Would love some opinions on this, if anyone has the time to take a look.
