Francis was born in an unknown location in NC., but he apparently married and began a family somewhere in SC., in the early 1790's. The first find is in Amilte Co., MS where he appears on the 1810 census. He was also apparently a member of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Amite County. He and his family left Amite Co., in 1815 (by letter, in Ebenzer Minutes) and went to Lawrence Co., MS., where they settled near the Pearl River. He appears there on the 1818 State census. He remains in Lawrence Co until sometime in early 1830's when he moves to Jasper Co., where he marries his second wife, Matilda James. (Ann died at least before 1830). Francis and Matilda left Jasper Co early in 1850's due to financial woes and moved in with son Thomas J. in Hinds Co. Francis died there in 1856 ( have two different dates). Bethesda Baptist church has the date listed as 5 May 1856. No will was left, but estate was administered 7 Jul 1856. Wife Matilda died 23 Aug. 1863.
