  • Notes 
    • Frances' middle name may well be Margaret in honor of her father's sister. Further evidence is that Francis named her own daughter Margaret.

      In the 1900 Census, Frances states she is the mother of four children with three living. Other than William, James and Margaret who is the fourth child?
