Biography
Frances was born in 1788 in Georgia as reported in both the 1850 and 1860 US Census.
If we assume this is true, and if Woodall was her maiden name (and there is no known reason to conclude otherwise), her parents can be found in Georgia in 1788 and in Franklin County no later than 1813 when she married.
