Marg, Seems a little strange to me that there was 6 years between their marriage in 1795 and the baptism of Frances in 1801. The space of time between all the other children was 2 yrs. Perhaps another baby between 1795 and 1801? What do you think? Just a thought.

Is it possible that he was off fighting somewhere during that time period? (1795 - 1801) Or traveling for some other purpose? Just another thought.
