On Dec 17, 1916 she married Daniel Alford Cashwell, Sr. She was the mother of Daniel Alford, Jr., Sylvia Druise Coleman, Peggy Ward and Wilford Hudson Cashwell.
The oldest of her children Daniel A Jr was about twelve when it became his duty to give shots of morphine to his mother as well as care for his younger siblings while their father was in the fields working. Fannie Jane died of Tuberculosis.
It was her wish that the children be put in Mills Home in Thomasville, NC so that they could be well cared for and could get an education. It was five years before there were openings for the children. The eldest, DA, Jr was too old by then, the three others were sent there, but the youngest boy, Hudson, ran away and lived with his father. The two girls were there from 1933 until they graduated from high school.
The girls both became teachers who benefited from their mother's education goals for them.
