In Memory of Mrs. Frances "Frankie" Ovington DADE: The Strength Of “Aunt Frankie”

 The Strength Of “Aunt Frankie” Frances Dade  

“Aunt Frankie” also known as, Mrs. Frances (Ovington) Dade, was born into slavery in Dec of 1799 or Dec 1810 in Kentucky. She was the wife of Isaac Dade Sr. According to the 1900 Missouri census, Frances was recorded as having 14 children and seven were living at that time of the census day of 9 June 11 , 1900. in Canton township in Lewis County Missouri.

As I’ve been discovering a few things about my 2nd Great Grandmother, Frances, I can see that she was a strong woman. She had strength to continue on with her life as being a captive in Kentucky. She was moved to Missouri with own slave owners.

Frances lived through her life as the enslaved more than half her life and was able to experience her freedom from bondage. She had the strength to live and see the death of 7 of her children, her husband and her loved ones. What endurance hardship, pain and struggles in her lifetime.

Frances was well known by the older residents in Lewis County Missouri area.
The Kentucky emigrants of that county knew her.

She was the mother of some well known citizens in Canton, Missouri.
