Life

Frances Elizabeth Weaver was born in December 1826 in Coosa County, Alabama, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date or place.1 On 28 January 1847 she married John Wells Robbins, a son of Solomon Robbins Sr., in a record indexed as "John W. Robins and Francis Wever".2 By 1850 the couple had moved to Smith County, Texas, where the federal censuses of 1850 and 1860 listed her in her husband's household.3 The tree names ten children born between 1847 and 1861.4 Her husband died at New Iberia, Louisiana, in July 1863, by the tree's account.5 As Francis and Frances Robbins she was recorded in Smith County in 1870, at Omen, and in 1880, in Justice Precinct 2.6 By 1900 she had moved to Van Zandt County, Texas, where the censuses of 1900 and 1910 found her in the household of J. M. Pinkerton in Justice Precinct 7.7 She died at Ben Wheeler, Van Zandt County, in January 1914, and is buried in the Prairie Springs Cemetery there, according to the tree and a Find a Grave memorial to Frances Elizabeth Weaver Robbins.8 The Texas death records of her daughters Mattie Robbins (1932) and Josie Ray Farrier (1960) give their mother's maiden name as Weaver.9
