Biography

Baptized 25 MAR 1798 Bere Ferrers, DEV, ENG

entry simply reads "Honour Daughter of Richard & Patience Matters"

Died Jun 1879 Kingston, Ulster Co., New York, USA

index shows Honor as 81, married, cod accidental; in county 18 yrs.

Although the schedule supposedly lists deaths in the year to 31st May 1880 and her month of death is given as Jun, either Francis, who died March, as married, was also in 1879, or the schedule includes data after May! Need corroboration - particularly as the actual 1880 census muddies the waters by showing, in Jun 1880, Frances as a widower - so can't have died in March!!
