About this record
From the style of this coffin plate, it dates from the 1870s or 1880s, which would give Frances an estimated birth year of roughly 1790 to 1811.
I went and had a hunt for Frances M Brenon in the 1870 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I tried a few spellings but I did not find a match. I did find lots of Brenons.
