Mrs. Gaines enjoyed playing chess with Aaron Burr when he was imprisoned at St. Stephens. She died at the age of twenty-three after the birth of her only child, Henry Toulmin Gaines (1811-13 April 1878).
The daughter of Judge Harry Toulmin, she married Edmund Pendleton Gaines in 1806. Judge Toulmin kept the tenuous peace between the Spanish territory (Mobile) and the United States (Baldwin and Washington counties) while his son-in-law General Gaines, then a captain, was anxious to go to war with the Spanish. Gaines arrested Aaron Burr for treason as his duty dictated, and held him at Fort St. Stephens, though he and Burr were of like mind. After his wife's death, General Gaines married Barbara Blount, daughter of the governor of Tennessee. Three years after her death, he married the celebrated Myra Clark Gaines from New Orleans.
Frances Toulmin Gaines' grave and her father's grave were said to be in a lost cemetery in Millry, Washington County, Alabama. Archaeological digs have been made by professionals in attempt to locate these graves, thus far unsuccessfully.
