He married twice. He married Mary R. Fentress August 18, 1840. He married
Mary Antoinette Whitehurst March 15, 1849. She was the daughter of William Whitehurst and Mary Lovett. It is not proved that Francis
is John's father beyond circumstantial: John Francis appears in the 1850 census of Norfolk Co. and his name was spelled "Thorogood."
Francis spelled his name this was in the 1830 census of Norfolk Co.. The 1830 census also showed Francis with a son in the right age bracket
to be John Francis. Would like more information to prove this connection. (Bob Thorowgood, ghote)
