Research Notes

1. These 2 sources have information of Frances' parents. Father: Lawrence Prince born in either England or Nova Scotia.~Cheri^[3][4]
2. Lawrence Prince was laid to rest at Hilltop Cemetery, Edgartown, Dukes, Massachusetts. Information for the vitals was provided by Alma Gordon-Smith, his great great granddaughter. The birth and death dates match. But the birthplace is questionable, so not adding this source to bio, yet. Needs more research.~Cheri^[5]
