I am trying to trace the ancestry and descendants of Robert Francis, who was probably born c.1735. He left a will in 1787 in Freehold, naming his children. He married April 8,1765 in Freehold to Susannah Williams Throckmorton (1738-1813), widow of Hartness Throckmorton, and daughter of John Williams and his wife Susannah. Robert and Susannah had atleast the following children: 1.John who married Content 2.David who left land to his brothers in 1796, apparently never married. 3.Robert (1774-1851), my ancestor. He later married an Elizabeth, and moved to Perth Amboy and then Newark, where he died. He had: 1. Charles (1805-1883) who married 1829 Mary Dutcher (1808-1881) 2. Richard (1808-1852), who married (1) 1831 Harriet Meeker (1812-1838) married (2) 1840 Mary Jane Spinning (1812- ) 3. Robert (1815- ), who married 1847 Ann Falkner 4. Phebe (1818-1877), my ancestor, married 1834 Stephen D.Aber (1813-1893) 5. Mary (1822- ) 4.Nehemiah (1778-1850's). He married 1805 Amy Strickland and had: 1. Jonathan (1809- ) 2. Sarah (1812-1896) 3. John (1822- ) 4. Asa (1823- ) 5. Elizabeth B (1828-1856) I think Robert Sr.'s father was John Francis, who moved from Trenton to Monmouth County in the early 18th Century, or maybe that was his grandfather. I'm also wondering if he is related to Richard Francis, who married Sarah Warne. Any help in this matter would be appreciated. Sincerely, Tom Kearney Rsnble@aol.com
