Frances is a mysterious woman who left behind little for us to learn, just the names of her husband and their children. It's assumed by many that she was a daughter of James Maddy (The First) and his wife, Ann Morris, but DNA suggests that Frances could be their daughter or niece, or even granddaughter.
She was the first wife of Joseph Lively, and the date or place of their marriage isn't yet known by family historians, Tax lists show that Joseph's home was in the part of Greenbrier Co. that became Monroe Co., VA in 1799 (now WV). Frances gave birth there to these seven known children: Nancy (married William Ford, Jr.), Henry, Jane (or Mary Jane?), Martha A. "Patsy" (married Jacob C. Allen), Jordan, Elizabeth (married Charles Jones), and Caleb W. Two unverified possible daughters are Sarah and Mary "Polly"; both listed as children of Joseph Lively and Frances Maddy on the now-obsolete "Lively Roots" website, also known as the "Descendants of Mark Lively" website, but no sources were cited for any data (their URL was www.livelyroots.com, but it's been a plant nursery website for several years). It's also possible that Frances and Joseph had a son named Joseph Jr. who died in 1846. However, the now-obsolete website claimed that Junior died on 25 June 1865, even though Joseph Sr.'s 1853 will (proved in 1858) didn't mention a son Joseph, or heirs of a deceased son.
The above birth and death dates were also on the now-obsolete website, and there's no online record of either, but the death year may be too early since Joseph didn't remarry until 1832.
