Frances Margaret Johanna "Fannie" Jerkins was born on 19 August 1876 in Johnson Township in Williamsburg County, South Carolina. She was the daughter of Samuel Thomas Jerkins (1837-1909) and Mary Jane Vause (1845-1919) and the great-granddaughter of Zachariah Jerkins, RS. (b. 1757-1837/38) a Private in the North Carolina Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Old Zach settled at Tallahassee in the Territory of Florida in 1828. Oral history states that he and two of his sons ran a stagecoach route between Tallahassee and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Ref. notes of Jack Butler and research by Pat Lyons (PML)
MEETING REV. T. S. ARMISTEAD: Rev. T. S. Armistead was serving in the Interlachen Mission when he and Frances met. Rev. Armistead's first wife had died in 1902 and he had been widowed for almost two years when he and Frances married on 26 July 1904. The marriage took place at McMeekin in Putnam County, Florida with the Rev. G. H. Riles, a Baptist preacher, performing the ceremony. Ref: Notes of TSA & research PLyons
Thomas and "Fannie" were parents of three living daughters and two infants that died within a few days of birth. When their first living child, Mary Frances was baptized, her mother, "Fannie" was also baptized. The baptism was performed by Rev. H. C. Christian on Sunday 19 November 1905 at Livingston in Orange County, Florida.

A PREACHER'S LIFE IS HARD: Appointments were difficult and support was meager, but Rev. Armistead never complained even when the house was like "almost out of doors". (those were his wife's words!) T.S.A. was 34 years and 27 days older than Frances. He died on 16 November 1922, leaving Frances widowed for over 40 years. Frances was a member of the First Methodist Church of Bartow and a member of the Father Ryan Chapter of the Florida Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She was proud of her husband being one of "The Immortal Six Hundred" famous throughout the south for their adherence to principle, refusing to take the Oath of Allegiance while prisoners of cruel treatment. (T.S.A. did take the Oath after the war ended). Frances died on 10 August 1963 at a hospital in Saint Petersburg, Florida. Funeral services were held at First Methodist Church in Bartow with Rev. Ben Ryder officiating assisted by Rev. Uel S. Dixon. Thomas and Frances are buried in Wildwood Cemetery at Bartow, Florida. Ref: Notes of TSA & research: Pat Lyons ( PML)
