Born in Sussex County,England; came to the U.S. and Boone County in 1853; married Sallie E. Moore June 2, 1863 in Boone County, IL; children: Anna Belle, Mary Jane, Celona Cummings Francis Russell
James Francis (#100194890) and family started from old England for America - September 5, 1853 - arriving in New York on October 24, 1853. They stayed in New York only a little while, then went to Belvidere, Illinois. James and Anna (#100194963) had the following seven children, all born in England:
Anna Lelia F. - b. July 11, 1836
James F. - b. Nov 18, 1838
William F. - b. Sep 15 1840
Walter F. - b. Oct 25, 1842
Elizabeth F. - b. Aug 11, 1845
Frederick F. - b. Feb 22, 1850
Mary Jane F. - b. June 25, 1852
It is believed James died in Belvidere about 1855 and Anna died about 1866. It may not be that any marker has survived for this pioneer couple's final resting place.
I realize Walter's birth date does not exactly correspond but the coincidence of Walter and his probable brother James resting here leads me to feel sure they are brothers to Ann Leila Francis
