233Frances Douthit was born 27 October 18051 in North Carolina.2,3 Her parents are 466William Douthit and 467Lovey Cooper, as explained below.

Problem: Resolved Who are 233Frances' parents? The William Gilbreth Douthit Bible doesn't explicitly state that 233Frances is a daughter of 466William and 467Lovey, but it very strongly implies so.1 Frustratingly, 233Frances isn't named in her father's will,4 but the 1820 census listing for 466William's household shows numerous children,5 so he must have excluded several children from his will.

233Frances married 232Jacob Parlier.6 For more information about their marriage, their lives together, etc., see his profile since that information won't be repeated here.
