Francis married twice. His first wife was named Elizabeth b. abt 1670 England d. 1688 North Kingstown, Rhode Island. She married Francis in 1687 in England. Her surname is unknown. She died in 1688 North Kingstown, Rhode Island. She had one child with Francis before her death. This is Elizabeth Colgrove/Cottrell/Gardiner who was born in 1688, probably in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Francis Colgrove b. 1667 married shortly after his first wife’s death, Ann Black in 1688. They had five children. One son of Ann Black and Francis was also named Francis. This Francis was born in 1694. He married a Hannah Bailey and also had a daughter named Elizabeth who was a twin, who married a John Williams. This Elizabeth seems to be confused (sometimes mixed up with marrying William Tanner) with the 1688 Elizabeth and she is not the same Elizabeth.

Francis Colegrove was sixteen when he came to America in 1683. He is said to have paid his passage by serving as a cabin-boy on the ship. Francis was a farmer. He was admitted as a freeman in North Kingston, Rhode Island, in 1736. He married twice and had 4 sons by his first wife, Eli, Stephen, Francis, and John. By his second wife he had one son, William, and twin daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. Notwithstanding his purchase of land in the Narragansett country, he continued to reside in Warwick and probably died there. He lived to be near 90 years of age. Very near the village of Oneco is an old cemetery where his sons Stephen and John are buried. It is probably that Francis is also buried there, but there is no monument to show it.
