Frances homestead in Marion (now Walthall) County, Mississippi. She later moved to Homesville, Pike County
Mississippi.

In 1816 an election was held resulting in the naming of the county site Holmesville, west of the river and location of the courthouse. Holmesville was first named Jacksonville.

Pike County was formed on December 9, 1815 by an Act of the Territorial General Assembly—two years before Mississippi was admitted to the Union in 1817.

McCardle. It was published
in 1891.

Frances's son James Pinkney Duncan was listed a planter in the 1850 Mississippi Pike County Census.
A farmer is one who grows foodstuffs for his family and his livestock. He could have many acres (though they might not all be in crops) as well as slaves. A planter is one who grows commercial crops. In the south that usually means cotton, tobacco or rice. As a general rule, planters have more acreage and more slaves than your average farmer but that isn't always the case so you can't use that as your criteria. Mississippi was largest producer and exporter in the world before the civil war.

Burial site in the Cemetery is not known. It is told during the 1920's . The cemetery was overgrown with under bush and siblings. A man was hired to clean it up. Apparently he misunderstood the instructions and clear everything including the stones. By the time someone realized what he was doing. The damage had been done. Thus the large open space with no stones. When the light is right. You can see the undulations in the ground. Where the graves are.
