    Notes:

    Emigration: BEF 1798 From Amelia to Charlotte (lst year on tax rolls in Charlotte)
    Event: 1850 Census 1850 Virginia, Charlotte, Charlotte, visit 871
    Event: 1830 Census 1830 Virginia, Charlotte, Microfile 196, Pg 224, line 14
    Event: 1820 Census 1820 Virginia, Charlotte, Pg 23, line 25

    Event: 1810 Census 1810 Virginia, Charlotte, Pg 60, ln 1
    Death: 10 NOV 1853 in Charlotte Co., Virginia 2

    Is this the correct Francis; I think there must be two of them; The family I am interested in migrated from Amelia to Halifax. The Charlotte Co., VA family is suspect.
