The father was born in 1775 in Massachusetts, was a farmer and trusty and prominent business man, and settled many estates. His father, John French, was a solicitor in the French and Indian War, in 1754-57, and died at the age of eighty-six in 1823. Isaac died while in the prime of life, in the year 1826. His wife, Catherine Davis, was born in Worcester County, Mass., in 1781, and was the mother of four children, our subject being the only one living. Edwin was educated at the district schools of his native town, and attended a boarding-school two terms. His father's death occurred when he was but nine years old, and when seventeen he began to teach in his native town. He continued this occupation for three months. In 1837 he went to the territory that has since been formed and organized into Scotland County, Mo., and engaged in the mercantile business there three and a half years, and in the fall of 1841 came to the territory since organized into Schuyler County, locating at Tippecanoe, three miles southeast of Lancaster, where he engaged in the same business. In 1853 he removed his stock of goods to Lancaster, and remained in business there until 1879. He also engaged in farming, in connection with his other business, with good success. In February, 1843, he married Miss Esther Hathaway, daughter of Josiah Hathaway. This lady was born in Vermont in 1822, and is the mother of five living children: Charles H., Wilber D., Agnes, Julia and Edwin L., an attorney at law, at Lancaster. In 1879 Mr. French and wife went to Colorado, in 1881 to California, and in 1885 returned to Lancaster, Mo., where they now live a retired life. Previous to the war Mr. French was a Whig, but is now a Democrat, and cast his first presidential vote for William H. Harrison in 1840. He was elected representative of Schuyler County in 1846, being the first one from that county, and was re-elected in 1848. Ten years later he was elected treasurer of Schuyler County, and served so satisfactorily that he was re-elected in 1860. At the close of the war he was elected circuit clerk, and was afterward appointed by Judge Ellison, serving about fifteen months. He and his wife are members of the Christian Church. His son, Edwin L., was born in Lancaster, Mo., in 1856, and was educated there and at Christian University in Canton, Mo., which he attended three years, graduating with the degree of B. S. in 1876. He then taught one term of school in Schuyler County, and in January, 1877, began to study law with C. E. Vrooman. He was admitted to the bar in 1879, and was a partner of Mr. Vrooman for three years. He is a man of more than ordinary legal ability, and enjoys a fine practice. In May, 1883, he married Miss Belle Justice, daughter of Joseph H. Justice, of Keokuk, Iowa, and to Mr. and Mr. French two children have been born: Herbert Justice and Joseph Harvey. Himself and wife are members of the Christian Church. History of Adair, Sullivan, Putnam and Schuyler Counties, Missouri, 1888, Goodspeed Publishing Co, Pages 1156-1157
