I believe the Sarah who was married to Patrick Francisco may have been Phoebe's sister (see 1850 & 1860 Logan County VA Census below). >From "Pike Co KY Marriages 1866 - 1900" by Oscar T. Adkins, Pg. 39 (items in parenthesis added by me): "Samuel Francesco, age 23, He & Pts - Tazewell (Co. VA), to Pheby Curry, age 17, She - Logan (Co. VA/WV). Married May 1, 1870, at Huston Curry in presence of Geo. H. Reed and Justin Curry, by Martin Smith, JPPC." When looking for Francisco's, also remember to check surnames France, Frances, Francis, Sesco, Cisco, etc. In several cases, families were identified under these surname variations. 1850 Pike Co KY Census (HH # 644/646) Jacob Francisco * 60 * M * Farmer * VA Jane Francisco * 53 * F * VA Nancy Francisco * 39 * F * VA Synthia Francisco * 26 * F * VA George Francisco * 24 * M * Laborer * VA John Francisco * 23 * M * Laborer * VA Evans Francisco * 22 * M * Laborer * VA Franklin Francisco * 17 * M * Laborer * VA Rachel Francisco * 15 * F * VA Oscar Francisco * 13 * M * VA Patrick Francisco * 11 * M * VA Samuel Francisco * 9 * M * VA 1860 Pike Co KY Census (Dist. 1, HH # 660/648) Jacob Francisco * 73 * M * $300 * $50 * VA Jane Francisco * 65 * F * VA Nancy Francisco * 40 * F * VA Cyntha Francisco * 30 * F * VA Franklin Francisco * 25 * M * VA Parkes Francisco * 24 * M * VA Patrick Francisco * 22 * M * VA Rachel Francisco * 23 * F * VA Samuel Francisco * 17 * M * VA Elizabeth Francisco * 8 * F * VA Henry Francisco * 5 * M * VA In 1870, Patrick is living next door to (siblings?) Franklin and Rachel and their families. Franklin's age is correct, Rachel's age is off by 4 years, and Patrick's age is off by 8 years which must be an enumerator error. I could not find a marriage record for Patrick and Sarah in KY or WV records. Birth records skip 1869, so also, no birth record for daughter Jane. 1870 Pike Co KY Census (Mouth of Pond Creek, HH # 164) Patrick Francisco * 25 * M * W * Farmer * VA Sarah Francisco * 24 * F * W * Keeping House * VA Jane Francisco * 1 * F * W * VA >From "Pike Co KY Deaths 1849 - 1909" by Hobbs & Picklesimer, Pg. 48: "Sarah Fransisco, 30 years, Married, Died: 1877, Birth Place: Kentucky, Parents: Curry, Father's Birth Place: Virginia, Mother's Birth Place: Virginia." 1880 Pike Co KY Census (Big Creek, HH # Patrick Francisco * W * M * 36 * Farmer * VA VA VA Jane Francisco * W * F * 12 * Daughter * KY VA VA Roxie H.

Note that the last son of Patrick's, George W. was born in 1877, so it might be assumed that Sarah died in childbirth or shortly thereafter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- Houston was supposed to have been s/o Barnabus Curry and first wife Sarah Taylor. 1850 Logan Co VA Census (Dist. 32, HH # 56) Houston Curry * 34 * M * Farmer * VA Hannah Curry * 24 * F * VA (maiden name Mayhon, Mahone, Mahon?)

Francisco/Curry connections (Laura Loding) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 23:18:41 -0400 From: "Laura Loding" <[email protected]> Subject: [KYPIKE] Francisco/Curry connections To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" I have found the following information in Pike Co., KY, and I'm trying to figure out who these "Curry's" are. 1. There is a death record for a Sarah Francisco b. abt 1847 died 1877 who's parents are listed as Curry. I have not found a marriage record, however I do find a Sarah with Patrick Francisco and daughter Jane in the 1870 census. In 1880 Patrick and Jane are listed with no mother/wife. 2. I'm also trying to find the marriage record for Samuel Francisco 1 May 1870 Pike Co. KY. He is listed in the 1880 census with wife Phoebe. I am trying to determine her maiden name and parents. Thanks!
