Frances E. (perhaps Ellen) Beachum was a daughter of Isaiah S. Beachum (1812-1894) and his wife Phereba O'Neal (1818-1888). She married James Thomas Sheppard (10 Nov. 1836-25 Dec. 1924). He was a son of William Sheppard and Nancy Grisom, and a Confederate soldier, who served in Co. F, 49th NC Reg't., Confederate States Army.
Per the 1900 census, Frances and James had eight children, but I only have seven names: Eliza Jane Sheppard (1857-1938, m. John Hoke Thomas), Robert W. Sheppard (c.1860/1-?), Martin I. Sheppard (c.1866-1913, m. Martha Florence McCollum), Phereba L. "Retta" Sheppard (c.1868-?), George K. D. Sheppard (1870-1894), John D. Sheppard (1872-1956, m. Elizabeth Davis), and Zeb Vance Sheppard (1877-1959, m. Hallie Rosanna Horne Davis).
Frances' gravestone inscription reads: "Here is one who is sleeping in faith and love, With hope that is treasured in Heaven above."
