Notes on John Wesley French (Updated March 10, 2004)

John Wesley French is the illigetimate son of Martha J. Stokes and Leroy B. Carter. Martha married John Porter French when John Wesley was about 3 or 4 years old. John Porter French adopted my grandfather.

I just found this information after searching for his biological father since 1975.

Leroy B. Carter is the son of Judge James Carter and Charlotte H. Unknown Carter. Leroy was married first to Addie Pierce. They had a son born about the same time as my grandfather. I'm suspecting that Addie found out about Leroy's indescretion and divorced him. Leroy married a second time to" Mattie" Margaret Lewis 17 March 1883 in Rockcastle co. ( I have a partial list of marriages ) Leroy "Lee" Carter was shot and killed by his best friend. Mr. Snodgrass a member of the KKK. There was another Lee Carter in the area, but he lived longer than my Lee.
