>I don't remember who played Jody or what became of him.

Jody was played by Johnny Whitaker (sp?), later to become
a Saturday morning kiddies' favorite on (what else?) "Sigmund
and the Sea Monsters".  (That was the one where the sea monsters
watched shell-o-vision, answered the shell-o-phone by saying
"shello", and had for monetary currency, of course, clams. A
true classic.)

Johnny also starred in the musical movie version of "Tom Sawyer"
as the title character.  Not such a bad flick, as a remember when
I saw it when I was 10.

As far as I know he is still alive and kicking and unemployed.
I don't know who played Buffy or Sissy.

I also remember that there was indeed another Mr. French, who
appeared after Sebastian Cabot left the show.  He was supposed
to be the original's brother or cousin or something, thus
still went by the name "Mr. French".

Incindentally, Uncle Bill was of course Brian Keith.  On the
show he was supposed to be a civil engineer; thus the family 
could always travel to exotic locales (I remember Barcelona
in particular) so Uncle Bill could build a bridge.
