Francis IS a male name. The usual spelling for a female is FRANCES. Just my
take on it.

I got this website from another list....they are offering free access for
November. Does anyone know if wives were ever taken prisoner in the RW?
I am
researching John CANNON, and found this, with a Francis listed
above.........don't know if Francis was ever a male name, but do know that
there was a John
CANNON/wife Francis in the 1790s in Old Pendleton Dist., SC.
Anybody got any ideas on this???
