Andrew Francisco line (m. Joan Christy) [23 October 2012]

Hi Michael, I was working on one of the Augusta County families that married into the Francisco's (the Mays/Mayse family) and found in the "History of Woodford County, Kentucky" the following paragraph:

Recently I received a letter from Mrs. Mary Harrison Moore of Independence, Missouri, a niece of the Rich Hill, Missouri, Franciscos in which she said I was mistaken about Col. John Francisco being the head of her line. And to prove it, she sent me a copy of her D.A.R. papers showing complete dates of birth, marriage and death of each generation of her line, which I am using for the supplement to the Woodford County History. It follows: George Francisco, b. 1739, d. at "Cowpastures" in 1809. m. Mary Murray, 1761; she b. 1741, d. 1844. He was a soldier of the Revolution; his son George, b. 1773, d. 1839, m. Elizabeth Mays, 1812, she b. 1792, d.1844, and their son Andrew b. in Woodford County, Jan. 3, 1814, d. Feb. 2, 1868, m. Joan Christy, Sept. 3, 1895; whose children were: Andrew Francisco, b. in Fayette County, Kentucky, Mar. 26, 1837; Charles, b. in Fayette County, Kentucky, Dec. 2, 1838; Elizabeth, b. Saline County, Missouri, Mar. 1, 1843; Joseph, b. in Missouri, Mar. 10, 1845; Priscilla, b. in Missouri, Nov. 29, 1847; William, b. in Missouri, Jan. 2, 1850; Mary Adelia, b. in Missouri, Jan. 11, 1852; John Steele, b. in Missouri, Aug. 7, 1854; Simeon Payne, b. June 14, 1856; and Albert B., b. May 13, 1861. Mrs. Moore who sent me the above D.A.R. paper is the daughter of the above Elizabeth Francisco who married Alfred Bell Harrison, April 1, 1862. I am very thankful for the correction. She knew nothing of the other lines, but I have gathered other information and am giving it to those who may be interested.

Apparently other sources have the Andrew that married Joan Christy as: Andrew Francisco, son of Andrew Francisco and Priscilla Steele, but the source above looks fairly compelling that he was the son of George and Mary Murray. The writer of the letter would have been the grandaughrer of Andrew Francisco and Joan Christy, so she would have been in a fairly good position to know Andrew's ancestry.

Just wanted to let you know of this change; hopefully you'll concur.

Best regards,

Jim:)--Delijim 09:30, 23 October 2012 (EDT)
