Notes
a. Note:   Francis brothers William, Samuel, and James served in the Maryland Militia, Baltimore County, Randall's Rifle Battalion, Maj. Beale Randall, Capt. Henry Fowler's Rifle Company, during the war of 1812. In the 1850 census (MD, 2nd District), James is listed with his children Alexander, age 24, cooper, Jane, age 20, and Elijah, age 19, cooper. James's wife is not listed and presumably had died before 1850.
  On 25 March 1848, James France sold a tract of land called Lot #3 to Alexander France. No wife joined the conveyance. (Baltimore Co. Land Records, 3:262) On 23 April 1856, James Francis, Sr. sold two tracts of land to James Francis, Jr. One of these was adjacent to the tract sold earlier to Alexander. No wife joined James in the conveyance. Later, on 30 March 1863, James Jr. and his wife Elizabeth again sold the two tracts.
  James's will, dated 2 November 1858 and proved 9 November 1858 names his sons Samuel, Elijah, James and Alexander, his daughter, Matilda Jane and his nephew Thomas Francis. His wife was not named. Sons Samuel and Alexander were executors, filing an account on 13 June 1860. Samuel died before the estate was closed, and Alexander filed the final account 7 April 1863. It mentioned the payment of legacies to Elizabeth Francis (Samuel's widow) and Jane M. Muslin (actually Jane Mullen, the former Jane Matilda Francis).
