William Henry FRANCISCO was born 9 Dec. 1802, possibly in Ontario. He married Mary LAURANCE, born 10 Aug. 1820 (daughter of Hugh and Hepsa LAURANCE, born 12 Aug. 1793 and 17 Feb. 1790, respectively). It is thought that Mary was born on Beaver Island (Michigan). The dates come from a family Bible in the possession of my parents which has the emblem of the Bishop of Peterborough in it. William may have been married previously to a woman named Harriet and another researcher shows his parents as Barent FRANCISCO and Rachel MANDEVILLE of NJ. I am looking for further information on any FRANCISCOs or LAURANCEs who came to Michigan, possibly through Ontario, before 1840. If any of the above looks familiar to anyone, please e-mail me. Thanks! Jill (Syers) Clark
