Facts and Events
From Source Book, pg 79 "Records indicate that Patrick Francis and his family moved to Lewis County, Virginia (WV) with his nephew Thomas Francis about 1848.
Page 85-86 of the book has a letter written by Elgiva to her sister Nancy Maria written about the trip from Prince William to "Louis" County and her opinion of the area and her family. The letter is dated 12 Aug 1849. She mentions their children but names only one son in the letter, James Henry who she says is old enough to run around and be very lively. (So records saying he was born in 1853 are in error.)
Page 87 records that Elviga is the daughter of George W. Jackson and Nancy Strother.
