Her son Yancy was named for the distinguished family of his mother Frances. She died at his birth. The Yancey's were of Welsh extraction, Welsh name Nanney, descended from four brothers who emigrated to Virginia with their kinsman, Sir William Berkeley, in 1640. His mother's brother, Bartlett Yancey, Jr., was a popular Congressman in 1813-17 and was said on occasion to have received nearly every vote in Caswell County. The town of Yanceyville, N.C. is named for him.
