Can anyone tell me about 'French Creek'? I found this place name on payroll cards for an ancestor that served in the 14 VA, Continental Line under Col Wm Davies. I have 'googled' it, but came up with nothing specific. The payroll cards are dated between Aug 1778 and Feb 1779. Not even sure if it is in VA, may be PA or NY.

A lot to read, guess it was not a major RevWar battlefield,
since the English and French fought over control of it from middle 1700s' to the end of Rev War. Does give some info, state and boundary lands were still changing.
Good luck in your search
