I share DNA with all of the eight members in the Ancestry DNA Circle of Francis Austin to varying degrees. It's pretty clear that she was my 2nd great grandmother! I have a hard time obtaining facts about grandmothers so these blog posts are lean.
Francis A. "Fannie" Austin was born on October 11, 1828 to William and Nancy Brannon Austin in Walton County, Georgia. On December 7, 1851 she married Frederick Patrick in the same county. Together they had the following children:
- Albert Webster Patrick (1852-1928); married Martha Elizabeth Ketchum
- William Taylor Patrick (1854-1930); married Ella Lee Brown
- Mary Elizabeth Patrick (1855-1918); married William Cargil Cornelius
- Martha Francone Patrick (1857-1930); married Forrest Lee Culbreath
- Lucy Nancy Patrick (1859-1945); married Thomas Jeff Van Horn
- John Frederick Patrick (1862-1901); married Lydia McAbee
- Sarah Alice Patrick (1866-1937); married Christopher Columbus Ketchen
- James Lee Patrick (1868-1946); married Magnolia Manley
- Jane Patrick (1870-1880); never married
- Susan Mildred Patrick (1873-1972); married Joe Will Smith
The family moved from Walton County, Georgia to Blount County, Alabama after the 1800 U.S. Census. Between 1885 & 1886 the family moved to Texas. During the 1900 U.S. Census Francis lived with her son William Taylor Patrick and did not live with her husband. She died on December 14, 1904 in Roxton, Lamar County, Texas according to family trees. I do not know if this is her true death date or her burial location. Only time and new records will tell.
