The couple had two sons before Sarah died young. (Levi then married 2. Charity CARPENTER and fathered 10 more children.) Mary Alice Francisco, a Levi and Sarah descendant through the the youngest of these two sons, is reputed to have done an incredible amount of genealogical research over her 90 year lifetime. For some reason, this data has never been assimilated into the vast amount of data currently available on the Francisco family as a whole. It has also been said that Mary Jane did not include her cousins in her research, but I would like to confirm this for myself if at all possible. I am under the impression that the body of Mary Alice's research was deposited with a public library, an historial or genealogical society in Walworth Co. after her death in January of 1955. If I can fi! nd her research papers, I would like to have them copied for my own reference. Mary Alice was the only child of Newton Oscar and Marcella (GOVE) Francisco of Delavan, Walworth Co., WI. She was a maiden lady all of her life, thus her immediate line is extinct. Starting two generations back, I have attempted to reassemble this family from census records, but this has proven to be not altogether satisfactory...especially when it comes to identifying and tracing female descendants. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I will gladly reimburse the costs of copying and mailing these materials. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
