Biography
Frances Toulmin (1789–1811), daughter of Harry Toulmin, who died while giving birth to their only child, Harry Toulmin Gaines, (b. 1811, d. 13 Apr 1878.) There is a record of her christening almost two years after her birth at New Bent Chapel.[1] Her father had been a minister there.[2]
The daughter of Judge Harry Toulmin, she married Edmund Pendleton Gaines in 1806. Judge Toulmin kept the tenuous peace between the Spanish territory (Mobile) and the United States (Baldwin and Washington counties) while his son-in-law General Gaines, then a captain, was anxious to go to war with the Spanish. Gaines arrested Aaron Burr for treason as his duty dictated, and held him at Fort St. Stephens, though he and Burr were of like mind.
Mrs. Gaines enjoyed playing chess with Aaron Burr when he was imprisoned at St. Stephens. She died at the age of twenty-three after the birth of her only child, Henry Toulmin Gaines (1811-13 April 1878).

Toulmin-6 and Toulmin-2 appear to represent the same person because: I added this person in because I did not have her married name and she didn't show up until after I added her. Clear duplicates.
