Daughter of Rev. John Samuel Huggins and Zilpha Ham and wife of Robert Franklin Cox.She was the mother of 11 children.

Zilpha Ham Huggins rode her horse sidesaddle to church, even though she was pregnant. While returning home, her horse became frightened, threw her off, and broke her hip. Competent medical help was unavailable and without proper treatment, her hip did not heal correctly. Frances Huggins was born while her mother was still bedridden.

The ladies of the church came to see her with gifts and names for the new baby girl. Her mother was the tactful pastor's wife and promised to use all the names. She wrote them down so that the preacher could read them all in the baptismal service. She counted them and found only eleven names, the last of which "Victoria," who was the Queen of England. Zilpha wanted to choose a name of her own. Since South Carolina had no queen, she would name her "Queen of South Carolina". Frances Huggins was baptized as follows: Frances Cornelia Emerintha Olevia Sarah Rebecca Julia Josephine Eugenia Sophronia Victoria Queen of South Carolina.



John Huggins I of Seawee Bay lists the names as follows:Frances Cornelia Zilpha Ametra Olivia Sarah Rebecca Sofronia Julia Josephine Victoria Queen of South Carolina
