  	They moved between the births of daughters Mary and Martha Jane. El Paso falls in 2 counties, Woodford and McLean, but El Paso is only a census option for Woodford County. The family lived in the McLean portion of El Paso so they were recorded as living in Gridley, a town just east of El Paso, on the 1860 and 1870 censuses

  	They moved to Missouri after the 1870 census and before Arthur was born 28 Feb 1871.

  Address	1880	Gore, Sumner, KS   [7, 8, 9]
  	The 1880 and 1900 US Censuses list her living with her son and his family in Gore. The 1885 Kansas State Census lists their place of residence as Green Township, adjacent to Green. This discrepancy could be due to differences in Federal versus State census collection protocol.

  	Francis was living with her son Arthur Skinner and his family at the time of her death.
