Francis was a son of Isaac and Martha Day, and a brother of Jesse B. Day.  Francis has two gravestones in Day Cemetery—one next to his wife, Holly, and one not too far away next to his nephew David H. Day.  They aren't close enough or lined up to be headstone and footstone.  Both stones report Francis' date of death as 24 Aug 1838 and age as 43 yrs 9 mos 14 days.  However, one stone explicitly gives his birth date as 10 Dec 1795.  If calculated using the death date and age, the birth date comes out to 10 Dec 1794.  So, it is uncertain whether Francis was born in 1794 or 1795.  for more information on Francis, see here.
