Sixth of the nine known children of Adam Overacker and his first wife, Cornelia VanDerCook. Married her first cousin and War of 1812 veteran Henry A. Francisco 29 February, 1816 in Canandaigua, Ontario Co., NY. The couple had eight known children:

1. Robert James Francisco (1817-1874), married 1. Nancy A. DIXON, four children, 2. Phebe BLACKFORD, no issue, 3. Jeanette STONE, no known issue. According to a cousin of mine who grew up in the area, Robert was given to Henry's childless brother, Michael A. Francisco and his first wife, Elizabeth Blackford of Potter, Yates Co., NY. Several of his descendants are buried in the Pine Corners Cemetery, Town of Middlesex, Yates Co., NY. Due to the lack of existing documentation for this inter-family adoption, descendants will need to be verified by DNA testing.

2. Henry Eddy Francisco (1819-1878, married Rhoda Anne GODFREY, no known issue).

3. Nancy Francisco (1822-before 1870, married Aaron BLAKE, two children).

4. Horace Francisco (1825-1882, married Emeline PRESTON, no known issue). Horace died in Walker Co., TX.

5. Hester Jane Francsico (1828-1907, never married). She died at Philo, Champaign Co., IL and lies buried in the Locust Grove Cemetery there.

6. Caroline Francisco (1831-1909, married Cyrus ARNOLD, six children). She died at Philo, IL; both she and her husband lie buried in Locust Grove Cemetery.

7. Antoinette Charity Francisco (1835-1920, married J. Hopkins NASH, two children). She died and lies buried in Champaign Co., IL.

8. Eleanor (1838-?, married J.H. WHEATON, one known daughter). He died at the Battle of Champion Hill, MS during the Vicksburg campaign. She and daughter Katie V. Wheaton can be found enumerated in the 1870 and 1880 Michigan censuses for Decatur, VanBuren Co., MI. She apparently never remarried.
