Francis "Fannie" Fields Barker was Born in KY in 1826, the daughter of William Jason Fields and Anna Creech. Francis Fields was the wife of John Albert Barker, whom she married Oct. 3, 1843 in Lawrence Co KY, and mother of at least nine children: Jason, Preston, Elizabeth, Hiram, Harden, Lewis, Celia, Nancy & Rena.
The date of birth is only partially readable on the tombstone, yr of birth on the 1900 Elliott Co census reading of "Francis Barker states age 74, b: Apr 1826".
Her death is commonly wrongly reported as around 1887 but in the 1900 census she was alive and listed living with her son Hardin. Her death date was proven when I located her tombstone in the Barker Ross Cemetery, in Elliott County, KY.
(Tombstone reads Born~ May 10, 182? Died Oct 3, 1907)
Her husband John A Barker rests beside her. He died Aug 1, 1893.
