P. D. FRANCIS was born April 10, 1829, in this county.  He is a son of
Stephen and Nancy (Martin) Francis; both parents were born in Virginia.
The father died in 1839, aged seventy.  The mother died in 1849, aged
sixty-eight.  Our subject was raised on his father's farm where he
remained till [sic] the age of twenty-one; he then lived on a rented
farm two years, after which he bought a farm of 200 acres, where he
remained about four years; he then sold that farm and came to his
present locality; the first year he worked at the tannery; he then
returned to Elkton Precinct and worked on his farm till [sic] February,
1871, when he came to his present farm, where he has since resided. He
owns 200 acres where he lives, also fifty acres land elsewhere. He was
married in 1850 to Susan Stokes, daughter of Armstrong and Susan Stokes
of Todd County; these parents had eleven children--eight of whom are now
living--six sons and two daughters.  Mr. Francis is a member of the
Baptist Church.
