Note
Frances "Fanny" Clark O'Fallon writes of her disappointment in not seeing Anderson again before he left as she was detained by "a very long Sermon." Fanny writes to encourage Anderson in his long journey and assures him that his children will be well looked after saying "that they will receive every necessary assistance that is in the power of any of their relations to render them."
Frances "Fanny" Eleanor Clark was the sister of Richard C. Anderson's first wife Elizabeth Clark. Elizabeth Clark died in January 1795 leaving motherless his seven year old son, Richard C. Anderson, Jr, and three young daughters Ann, Cecilia, and Elizabeth. Fanny and Elizabeth were sisters to George Rogers Clark and Jonathan Clark, both original members of the Society of the Cincinnati; and of William Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Fanny married James O'Fallon in 1791. O'Fallon was an Irish doctor and a key player in a number of conspiracies in the Old Northwest being often linked to James Wilkinson and George Rogers Clark. The marriage was short, O'Fallon died in 1793 and Fanny would go on to marry twice more, outliving all three of her husbands.
