He died Dec 25, 1884, in Baptistown, at the residence of his son, Daniel B., and was buried in the Frenchtown Cemetery. He married Elizabeth Bray. She was born Jun 6, 1795, and died May 16, 1851. Her remains were interred in the old graveyard at Baptistown, but subsequently removed to Frenchtown. When Francis was but a child, his parents moved to the farm now occupied by Wesley S. Hawk, one mile south of Baptistown, living with his parents until married. After marriage he lived in part of his father's house for a few years; then bought the farm now owned by Hiriam Rittenhouse about 2 miles south of Baptistown on the road leading to Kingwood. Here he spent the most part of his active life and accumulated the most of his property. He quit farming soon after the death of his wife and lived with his children. He was an ardent Republican and always took an active part in the affairs of his country, but never had any desire to hold office. He cast his vote in 1813 and has voted at all Presidential elections from 1816 to 1884 inclusive. He told the writer at the polls in 1884 that he wanted to cast one more ballot for good government. He was then in his 93rd year and quite feeble. He was tall and robust in his best days but few could put him on his back in a wrestling contest--at 80 he stood as erect as many do at 60. His children were: Maria, Eliza, Daniel B., Andrew and Thomas W."
