Second daughter of Jason and Harriet Elizabeth Seymour Stillman, and a descendant of Pilgrim Thomas Rogers and of Pilgrim Stephen Hopkins of the 1620 Mayflower. Her father died of tuberculosis in 1838. Her mother and three children joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and moved from Colebrook, Connecticut, to Nauvoo, Illinois. Here her mother married Daniel Russell, a widower with several children, and Frances married Samuel Russell; both families emigrated to the Salt Lake Valley.
Widowed herself, Frances and her little daughter stayed in Salt Lake close to her mother. Soon Frances met Franklin Neff, also a widower with a daughter, and they were married on 1 January 1855. Between that date and 1873, when Alfaretta was born, they added nine more children to the two they brought to their union.
