The death record from West Rutland, VT will have Joseph's surname as LaFrancis rather than LeFrancois. This would have been common during his era. Surnames were often entered as a town clerk assumed the spelling would be. The death record notes that Joseph lived for 78 years, 3 months and 13 days. This, if indeed factual, would place his date of birth as July 6, 1830. The cause of Joseph's death is noted as "chronic endocervicitis". Canadian records offer that Joseph married Rose Boucher on July 4, 1854 in Sainte-Ursule, Maskinongé, Quebec, Canada. (Thank you Bill Pecor)
