Moseby and HObson families, which
have furnished names noted in history.
His father was well-tO-dO plantation
owner in Virginia. Charles French
received his medical education from
all uncle, Zach Tally, nous physi-
clan of that time, receiving certificate
there, and later attended the 1t. Louis
Medical College. He moved TO Ar

1859, married Miss y. \. Watson,
daughter Of the Hon q. b. Watson.
OF Napoleon, Arkansas, who has bles-
sed HIM all these years and now sur
