Frances ‘Fanny’ Horrocks

Origins

Thomas Everard was married to Diana Robinson (born September 12, 1726), daughter of Major Anthony Robinson of York County, Virginia.[5][9] The Robinsons were a prominent family in the area, which helped him to become more prominent.[3] They had two daughters: Frances "Fanny" married the Rev. James Horrocks of Bruton Parish Church and president of the College of William & Mary. Martha "Patsy" married Dr. Isaac Hall of Petersburg, Virginia in 1774.[3][9][10]

He died in 1781, without evidence of a will.[9] Diana, his wife, is believed to have died in the late 1750s or the early 1760s.[3] After Frances's husband died in 1772, she was in poor health and moved back to her father's house until her death in December 1773. Martha lived with her father until or after her marriage in 1774. After her father died, Martha and her husband inherited property owned by her father and her sister.[3]
