Biography

Johannes was born 10 Mar 1729 in Passaic NJ to [Francisco-360|Bernard Francisco]] Francisco and Catalina Steiger in New Jersey.. [1] He was baptized at the church at Acquackanonk (later Passsaic) on 13 April 1729. His sponsors were Johannes Fransisco and Margrietje Beuis. [2]

He is said to have married first Magdalena "Lena" Mandeville about 1744 (source needed.) Among their children were: (will add children as documentation is found.)

  • Elisabeth (12 Aug 1775) [3]


Marriage

Place: Acquackanonk Reformed Dutch Church, Essex, New Jersey, USA
Child: Johannes Francisco
Child: Geesje Francisco

When his father, Barent died in 1781, John Is mentioned in his will and is left an enslaved "Negro man" and, with his brothers, a portion of his father's farm and was named joint excecutor with his brothers Hendrick and Derick. [4]

Research Notes

  • He is at times said to have died around 1759. this date is unsourced and his last known child was born in 1775 and he was alive when his father's will was probated in 1781.
  • In fact. John Francisco has military service on 3 June 1777 in New Jersey as a Private in the 3rd Regment in Capt. Samuel Potter's Company of Col. Dayton's Battalion, New Jersey troops [5] . More research is needed to confirm that it is him. An unsourced claim states that a story about one of his children- Tannie - refers to his father has "Fighting John" so it is certainly possible that is him. THat John is buried at the Belleville Cutch Reformed Church, Essex County, NJ [6]

Francisco-373 and Francisco-351 do not represent the same person because: Different fathers, different mothers, a decade difference in birth year. Different birth counties, which may or may not be an issue due to boundary changes, but with the other differences already trumping the merge, I'm not taking the time to research this.

The given name of Johannis/Johannes with surname Francisco is not sufficient for a merge.
