Francis 1038 & Sarah Hall

A combination of work by researchers has shown that Francis 1038 b 1824 (son of Francis 1033 and Jane Reynolds) married Sarah Hall in Shoreditch in 1850. They had two children in London:

• Clara J b 1851
• Elizabeth Catherine b 1852 (known as Ann for some reason not yet explained)

They migrated in 1854 to Boston. They settled in Maine where:

• Martha J was born in 1855
• Emily Martha in 1856
• Thomas H in 1858

Then they moved to Oxford in New Hampshire where

• John H and
• Mary were born in 1859 and 1860 respectively.

Francis and his family can be seen in the passenger list of the ship 'Frank Pierce' census and Thomas can also be tracked through the census to 1900.

Thomas celebrated his 75th birthday in 1933 according to the Rochester Social Courier.

Most of the children were girls, so we are not aware of any living Gottses from this branch of the tree.

Thanks to Ernest Gotts and Nuala Cockburn who has been helping a friend discover the family.
