Frances Elizabeth Douglas         Born: 05 Mar 1860, Iredell County, NC Died:  03 Jul 1926, Iredell County, NC   Frances "Fannie" Elizabeth Douglas was born 05 Mar 1860 in Iredell County, NC, to J. Walter Douglas and Mahala Catherine "Haley" Miller.  Frances Elizabeth was called Fannie by her family and friends.   Some documents list Fannie's birth date as 1860 while others list it as 1861.  Fannie's headstone at Sharon Lutheran Church in Iredell County, NC, says that she was born in 1861.  The most important document, however, is the 1860 Census.  On this document F.E. Douglas is listed as being 3 months old.  Fannie could not have been listed on the 1860 Census if she wasn't born until 1861.   Walter had been married to Susan Stewart, but after her death he married Mahala Catherine Miller in 1859.   (Left) J. Walter Douglas and his 1st wife, Susan Stewart (Middle) Mahala Catherine "Haley" Miller (Right) Fannie, age 16, 1876 Fannie married Jacob Hedrick Goble on 10 Dec 1884 at her family's home in Alexander County, Miller's Township.  Her marriage license lists her age as 23, but she would have actually been 24.  Jacob was also 24.                                 The 1860 Census shows Mahala "C.M." married to Walter/Walton and living in Alexander County, NC, with his 5 children and their daughter Frances "Fannie" Elizabeth (F.E.) who was three months old.                               1860 Alexander County Census                               First Name Last name Age Sex Occupation Real Estate Value Personal Estate Value Birth Place Walton Douglas 39 M Farmer $475 $200 NC C.
