!NOTES:I've found no primary evidence that Frances Carpenter was ever married prior to her marriage to William Davis ca 1790/94 in Wilkes (now Ashe) Co., NC.
However, the Tombstone erected by the DAR for William and Franky lists her as "Franky Carpenter Weatherman Davis". That stone was erected at least 100 years after her death but someone obviously thought she has been a widow Weatherman before marrying Davis.
It rings true in certain ways. Firstly Franky would have been about 20-23 when she married William, plenty of time for her to have been married before.
Secondly, there was a Weatherman family in Surry Co., NC when she was there and they lived in the same area. Christian Weatherman was a neighbor to her father Mathias Carpenter in the 1780's.
Thirdly, Cornelius Weatherman (1793-aft 1860) left Surry Co., NC in the 1840's and moved to the same area where Franky was living, though I don't know if he arrived before she died in 1842 or not. Nonetheless, why did he move there? It could be a coincidence, but what else drew him to that area except possibly family correspondence? I don't think Cornelius was Franky's son, but he could be a nephew. One of Cornelius's children married one of Franky's grandchildren. Could all be coincidence, but interesting anyway.;
