Notes

  • All the records we have found for Frank have his name as either Frank or Frank B.  At least one genealogy reports his fuill name as Benjamin Franklin Dempsey.  No documnetation of this full name has been found.

    Ages reported for Frank by censuses or other records indicate birth in 1880 or 1881.  His parents married after the census in 1880, so he would have been born in 1881.  His grave has the year only as 1880.  This is not definitive.  We have found a year or more error in many gravestone dates for both birth and death.  No death record has been found.
