Francis’ wife Sarah Chase was born 18 Jul 1686 in Newbury, Essex, Mass. Her parents were Daniel Chase and Martha Kimball. [??] Sarah died in 1758 in Arundel, York, Maine, United States

Francis removed to Arundel, otherwise called Cape Porpoise and Kennebunkport, Me.

“Lived near the present dwelling of Asaph Smith”; [Hist. Kennebunkport, 1837]. Was a resident from 1732, at least, till 1758, when his wife died. His children, Enoch, Isaac, Anna, ” and perhaps others,” are mentioned in the history. An elevation in the town bore the name of ” Danforth’s Hill ” till recent times, but the locality is not now known. Enoch is said to have ” removed to Topsham,” Of the latter part of Francis’ life and of the time of his death, nothing has been learned by us.
