The name Richard Francis appears on the records of Cambridge, Massachusetts as having settled there in 1636, and who had previously resided at Dorchester, Massachusetts. This Richard was referred to in a diary of Judge Sewell published by the Massachusetts Historical Society as "an ancient and good man indeed." This Richard was born in the year 1616 in England and married Alice Wilcox in 1644. He is supposed to have been related to Robert, - either cousin or uncle, and perhaps came to America at the same time. Robert established a farm at Wethersfield and became a prominent member of the first Congregational Church of that place.

He married PHEBE WOODHOUSE October 01, 1753 in Wethersfield, Connecticut. She was born in Wethersfield Connecticut. Notes for WILLIAM FRANCIS: He was one of the prominent men of our country who early connected themselves with "the party of liberty," He served as sergeant in a company known as "Patriots" in the wars against the combined forces of French and Indians, in which he did excellent service. He was one of the original settlers of Pontoosuc, Mass. He was one of the signers of a petition to convene a Town Meeting in 1774, "to act, and do what the town might think proper in regard to the invaded liberties and privileges of the country by Great Britain." He was one of a committee of "three most stout-hearted citizens" appointed to protest against the unjust action of the British Parliament. He was also chosen one of a committee to condemn as enemies of the republic those who were opposed to American liberty, and to make such persons publicly known in order that patriotic citizens might thenceforth break off all intercourse with them. He was also member of a committee instituted in March 1776, to declare their indignation at the acts of King George and to ignore him and his authority. This committee declared that independence was a foregone conclusion. As may be well imagined, the "Stories residing about there were rather roughly handled." Immediately after the disaster at Fort Ticonderoga, William Francis organized a company of forty men, of which he was captain, and marched to Fort Edward to reinforce the army. In 1777, he marched with a company of twenty-two men to join General Stark at Bennington, VT. On Sept. 3rd, same year, he marched with a company of thirty men to join General Gates at Stillwater, and remained with General Gate's army until after the surrender of Burgoyne. In January 1786, Capt. William Francis was sent by General Patterson of the Berkshire Militia with a company of troops to repel a mob of eight hundred men gathered at Williamstown to defy the Government. The mob was under the command of two notorious rebels: Eli Parsons, and an obnoxious Tory by the name of Wiley. The State troops started from Pittsfield in sleighs, and by prompt and rapid movements succeeded in defeating the rabble, only capturing a number of prisoners and driving the others into banishment. Capt. Francis become a very popular citizen of Pittsfield and was held by his townsmen in extraordinary esteem for his discretion and integrity. He held many offices of trust from the year 1761, even to the time of his death, which occurred March 13, 1818. The sobriquet of "Governor Francis" by which he was known in later years, was still remembered with reverential respect by persons still living at Pittsfield in the early 1900's.

SIMEON8 FRANCIS (CHARLES7, JOHN6, JOHN5, JOHN4, ROBERT3, JOHN2, THOME1 FRAUNCES) was born 1770 in Wethersfield Connecticut, and died September 07, 1823 in Wethersfield Connecticut. He married MARY ANN ADAMS May 26, 1793 in Wethersfield Connecticut. She was born 1773 in Wethersfield Connecticut, and died September 18, 1822 in Wethersfield Connecticut. Notes for SIMEON FRANCIS: Five of the Francis brothers and their two sisters, children of Simeon and Mary Ann, decided, after the death of their parents, to leave their old home in Wethersfield and seek a new home in the West. Two members of the family - Charles T. and Simeon left home several years before. The brothers and sisters first referred to took passage on board the sloop "Falmouth" at Hartford, Conn., Sept. 17, 1829-Their journey was down the Connecticut River and through Long Island Sound to New York City; then up the Hudson River to Albany: thence to Buffalo by Erie Canal. At Buffalo they met their brother Simeon, who had been residing in that city about two years, and who decided to join the party on their trip west. Embarking on a sailing vessel they proceeded over Lake Erie to Lower Sandusky, Ohio. On landing at that place they pro-cured wagons preparatory for a long ride through the, then, sparsely settled state of Ohio to Cincinnati. Many hardships were experienced on their slow journey on account of bad roads, poor accommodations for shelter at night, difficulty of procuring provisions, etc. Wearied from their tedious journey and half sick from exposure and for want of proper nourishment, they finally reached Cincinnati, where they took passage on one of the small steamboats down the Ohio River. Then up the Mississippi River to St. Louis, barely escaping with their lives by the wrecking of one of the boats on which they were journeying. They traveled every day for seventy-seven days, resting only on Sundays, to accomplish a journey which now can be made with comfort in less than half as many hours. They remained together at St. Louis until the summer of 1831, when Josiah went to Springfield, Ill., and issued a prospectus for the Sangamon County Journal, soliciting subscriptions for the paper. Simeon and John Newton went later to assist, and the first number of the Journal was published Nov. 10, 1831. . (History Sangamon Co., Ill.)

GEORGE8 FRANCIS (ASA7, JOSIAH6, THOMAS5, JOHN4, ROBERT3, JOHN2, THOME1 FRAUNCES) was born June 25, 1790 in Hartford, Hartford Connecticut, and died March 07, 1873. He married MARTHA WADSWORTH November 29, 1819. She died November 22, 1872. Notes for GEORGE FRANCIS: A man of sterling integrity. Kindness and benevolence were marked traits in his character. He was very courteous in manner, having a good word for everybody. He was a true lover of justice: very humane, and earnestly remonstrated against every form of cruelty and vice. A lover of children. In French's "History of the Artists of Connecticut" is the following quotation: "Long and well known for other good qualities. George Francis also possessed a taste and talent for art, and though 'hidden under a bushel,' was yet enough before the public as to identify his name with the art of the State. He studied under Benjamin West and coloring with Washing-ton Allston; also took some lessons from Trumbull; but his father left him a large business in carriage making in such a way that his son was literally obliged to take it up. Thereafter art ceased to be a profession but to the end of his life it was an entertaining pastime. His pictures have a decided merit and evinced much artistic skill. In the effect of light and shade he was particularly successful. Mr. Francis was a genial social man; an active member of the 'First Temperance Society,' and a man thoroughly respected." He died March 7, 1873. Martha Wadsworth Francis, wife of George Francis was a lineal descendant of Hon, William Wadsworth, a member of a party of adventurers numbering- over one hundred men, women and children, who in the year 1636 under the leadership of Rev. Thomas Hooker left their homes in Massachusetts and made a long and wearisome journey through a trackless wilder-ness to the interior of Connecticut, where they settled and founded a colony to which they gave the name of Hartford, now the capital of the state. The famous Capt. Joseph Wads-worth of Hartford who secreted the Charter of King George in the hollow of an old oak tree was a son of Hon. William Wadsworth. Sergeant Reuben Wadsworth, the father of Mrs. Francis, was great-grandson of Capt. Joseph Wadsworth and a veteran of the Revolutionary Army. He was in active service in many encounters with the British forces. Was at Battle of Bunker Hill and in Arnold's expedition to Quebec in 1775. He continued in service until wounded at the battle of Yorktown. Children of GEORGE FRANCIS and MARTHA WADSWORTH are: 199. i. GEORGE WADSWORTH9 FRANCIS, b. September 06, 1820; d. May 10, 1877. ii.

CHARLES EDWARD9 FRANCIS (GEORGE8, ASA7, JOSIAH6, THOMAS5, JOHN4, ROBERT3, JOHN2, THOME1 FRAUNCES) was born January 24, 1828 in Hartford, Hartford Connecticut, and died July 02, 1905 in Stamford, Connecticut. He married ABBIE H. SUTHERLAND November 24, 1852. She was born in New York City, New York. Notes for CHARLES EDWARD FRANCIS: Charles Edward Francis, dentist, was born in Hartford, Connecticut., January 24, 1828, son of George and Martha (Wadsworth) Francis. Both his paternal and maternal ancestors were among the early settlers of Connecticut. On his fathers side, he is a lineal descendant of the famous Miles Standish, and on his mother's, of William Wadsworth, who emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts in 1636. He was educated in his native city, where he afterwards served as a clerk in a retail drug store. Having obtained a similar position in New York, he devoted considerable time to the study of medicine under a private preceptor, and studied practical anatomy in the Medical College of the University of New York. At the age of twenty two he commenced the study of Dentistry with Dr. Barlow, and in 1854 received the degree of D.D.S. from the Pennsylvania College of Dentistry, and that of M.D.S. from the Dental Society of the State of New York. He soon had one of the most lucrative practices in New York. From the beginning of his career he had been ardently engaged in the advancement of his profession, and in the promotion of higher education in the city and nation. He was a member of the old Society of Dental Surgeons and Brooklyn Dental Dental Association; an original member and organizer of the Dental Society of the State of New York, and one of the earliest members of the First District Dental Society. He was instrumental in securing a charter for the New York College of Dentistry, and was one of its original trustees, and later secured its incorporation by the legislature. He was one of the founders of the New York Odontological Society, one of the best known among professional associations in the United States, and was its president for five years. Dr. Francis has held every office of trust and honor in the gift of his fellow dentists in the state and nation, having been president of the Dental Society of the State of New York, of the First District Dental Society and of the American Dental Association. In former years he was a prolific writer on dental matters, and earnestly advocated raising the standard of dental education. He was one of the publishers of the "Independent Practitioner," and has also attained considerable reputation as a writer on general topics. He is a life member of the New England Society. In 1852, he was married to Abbie H. Sutherland, of New York City. They had three children - one son, Clarence W. Francis, a lawyer by profession, and two daughters, Ella and Florence, the elder of whom was married to Dr. Charles E. H. Phillips, of New York City.

While at Columbia he won the McKim fellowship which entitled him to two more years of additional study at the American Academy of Rome. After receiving his degree in architecture Francis entered the practice of architecture in New York city. In 1914 he returned to Buffalo and four years later turned to decorating and mural painting, although not entirely abandoning architecture. In Buffalo he did the decorative ceilings in Lafayette (Later the Buffalo Trust) branch of the Marine Trust Co., painted murals in the Buffalo Savings Bank and did the ceilings in the First Presbyterian Church and the woman's dining room of the Saturn Club. Among his other works were the historic mural in the Essex House, Newark, N.J. and the frieze in the main hall of the Ossining (N.Y.) High School. During 1915-1925 he taught interior decorating at the Buffalo Art School of the Albright Art Gallery and in 1918 his painting "Temple at Tivoli" was awarded the fellowship prize of the Buffalo Society of Artists. From 1925 until his death Francis resided in Ossining, N.Y. In religion he was a Presbyterian and in politics was a Republican.

Book in Library at Morris) HISTORY OF GRUNDY COUNTY. 812 FRANCIS, Joseph H. -Whatever may be the real cause, about which political economists, philanthropists and social service workers widely differ. It remains true that in every community there exist certain individuals so determined on lawlessness that restraint is necessary in order to protect the innocent. Hence laws have been formulated and officers elected to carry them out and in the choice of these officers lies in great part the efficacy of the laws. This is particularly true in the selection of men to fill the dangerous and responsible office of sheriff of a county, and comparatively few men possess every desirable requirement for such a position. Physical strength and endurance must be combined with calm judgment, a high order of personal courage, a keen intel1ect, and dexterity and adroitness that will enable him to meet any possible advantage taken by the lawless, with which class much of his duty Is concerned. Thus endowed is Joseph H. Francis, who is serving in his second term as Sheriff of Grundy County. Joseph H. Francis was born at Francis, Erie County, Pa., June 25, 1860, and is a son of Luther and Henrietta (Cole) Francis. Both parents were born In Erie County, Pa., to which section his grandparents had moved in 1830, from Vermont. They were of old Quaker and Puritan stock, very religious people, frugal and thrifty. They left a family of nine children, six sons and three daughters. Luther Francis, father of Joseph H. Francis, was a farmer in Franklin Township, Erie County, and also was engaged in a real estate business. During the Civil War, when Erie County was threatened with invasion by the Confederates, he served as a minute man, under Governor Curtin, Pennsylvania's great War Governor, and was one of the last three men to leave the neighborhood and was badly injured. He never fully recovered and his death occurred July 15, 1881." One son, A. W. Francis, served during three and one-half years in that struggle. Joseph H. Francis attended the district schools of Franklin Township, Erie County, and passed his boyhood on his father's farm. At the age of eighteen years he came to Braceville, Grundy County, Ill., and for about three years worked on farms. In that neighborhood, did some mining also in Braceville, and afterward, for about eight years conducted a dairy farm. Intelligently interested in public matters he soon identified himself with the Republican Party and has never changed his political principles. His first preparation for the office he has so ably filled was during the three and one -half years when be acted as deputy sheriff under Sheriff John Schroder. In January, 1898, he moved to Morris and was appointed deputy sheriff under Sheriff C. W. Johnson, and served in that capacity for three and one-half years, during which period be made some very important captures, one of these in 1901, be first Black Hand criminal in Morris. In 1902 he was elected Sheriff of Grundy County by the largest majority ever given a candidate for that office and served four years. Under the Illinois law a man cannot serve two successive terms either as sheriff or county treasurer, hence, Sheriff Francis was then elected treasurer and served four years when he was again elected sheriff, in 1910. As an officer he has gained a reputation all through the Middle West. In the Gardner bank robbery case he broke up probably the worst gang of young men that ever operated in Northern Illinois. In his clever work in the silk robbery case, in which he, lone-handed, captured the robbers in O. Erickson & Son's dry goods store, he put an end to a band of criminals that, for a number of years, had covered three States and had cleaned up hundreds of thousands of dollars in silk robberies. His recent capture of two different sets of Chicago auto bandits, but added to laurels well won in an eventful career as Sheriff. At St. Louis, In 1904 he was elected Vice President of the International Sheriffs' Association, and at St. Paul, in 1905, was re-elected to the same office. Sheriff Francis was married at Braceville, Grundy County, Ill, January 1, 1882, to Miss Alice M. Cragg, a daughter of George H. Cragg. She was born on the home farm in Maine Township, where her parents still reside, April 5, 1840. Her father was born in a log house now standing within 80 rods of where he now lives, which was built In 1832, and was, during the Civil War and In slavery days, one of the stations of the underground railway. Sheriff Francis and wife have five children: Elmer L., who enlisted at the age of sixteen years, In the Spanish-American War, during two years of service In the Philippines saw hard service and was standing within 100 feet of General Lawton when the latter was killed, and was one of the officer's escorts: Maude Ethel, who is the wife of William Campbell, who is in the clothing business at Morris; Claude Eugene, Oscar George, and E. L, Francis, all of whom are acting as deputy sheriff's In Grundy County; and Robert James. Mr. Francis is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Morris. He is a Chapter Mason and belongs also to the Odd Fellows, The Knights of Pythias, the White Cross and other organizations and is exceedingly popular in all. Sheriff Francis is a man of sterling qualities, and his uprightness of character, his splendid fellowship and his devotion to duty, have greatly endeared him to the people of Grundy County. He has two possessions which be treasures highly, one being his handsomely enameled and engraved star, which was presented to him immediately after his election to office, on December 1, 1902, by his many friends, and the other is a gold medal bestowed upon him by O. Erickson & Son, after his capture of the silk thieves, September 23, 1900. It bears an inscription setting forth his bravery and giving the date. This is something Mr. Francis feels is worth while handing down to his descendants. Children of JOSEPH FRANCIS and ALICE CRAGG are: i. ELMER L.11 FRANCIS, b. Aft. 1882. ii. MAUDE ETHEL FRANCIS, b.
