• Notes

  In the 1850 Census, Monongalia Co., VA, Francis is in the household of his father, Seth. Listed after Francis is his sister, Nancy A., age 19, th en a John, age 4, followed by Solomon, age 13. In the 1860 Census, Monong alia Co., VA, District 3, Francis's household includes wife, Jane, age 3 8, John, 15, George W., 8, Mary A., 6, and Lucinda, 1. It appears like ly that Francis was married before and had son, John, then married Jane. L acking conclusive information to support this, I am including him as a s on of John and as a stepson of Jane. He could not be a son of Seth and fi rst wife, Nancy, as Nancy would have been about 57 years old the year Jo hn was born. Later note: the record of the marriage of Francis and Jane was found in t he online WV Archives. The date of their marriage, 9 Jan 1851, further su pports that John is Francis's son by a previous marriage. wkg: enter census as source for kids Census: 1880 United States Federal Census 1880 United States Federal Census Name: Francis L.
