Biography

As to her birth year, FamilySearch says 1756, but this does not fit with the birth years of her children, so the estimate of 1730 that fits with what other researchers have conjectured is adopted. An 1812 death year is probably a delimiter attributed to a probate file referenced in "Fondren Family History" from FamilySearch, which also indicates that sources exist to document her mother in relationship to John Fondren, but these primary or secondary records have yet to emerge.

Her father died by 1789 according to estate documents also described in the "Fondren Family History," and her mother apparently died by 1801 and the settlement of her estate occurred about 1812 according to the same History, but these direct records have yet to emerge.^{[citation needed]}
