Cindy, thank you so much for the info below. The info on the Francis's is about 20 years old but the info on Elizabeth LLOYD was fairly new. I hope you can help. If Elizabeth LLOYD died without issue, is there another Elizabeth LLOYD who married Francis or did this Francis marry someone else entirely?
