Mary Frances Honeycutt [Fanny] (Aug 1865 – after 1917) was the daughter of Britton Honeycutt [Brit] (7 Jan 1832 – 13 Feb 1908) and Louisa Jane Gee Honeycutt [Lou] (9 Jan 1839 – 30 July 1917). Fanny was probably born on her parents' farm near Farmerville, but when she was very young her family moved to Farmerville, where her father went into the mercantile business. Fanny was educated in the schools there. She married on 29 September 1881 to James M. Rushing, but little is known of him. It appears that they moved from Louisiana to Texas in the mid-1880s. Fanny and James Rushing had four children: Pearl Rushing (born January 1884), Robert Rushing (born June 1886), Cleo Rushing (born February 1890), and Linda Rushing (born March 1893). Fanny remarried on 24 March 1897 to William Wesley Auld (29 Jan 1856 – 30 Apr 1927), a merchant in Farmerville and Bernice. Fanny and William lived in Bernice in 1900, while her four children were at a boarding school in Texas. Fanny and William divorced in October 1915, and she soon remarried to a Mr. Brazzeal. She lived in Claiborne Parish in 1917, but we have no further information on her or her children.
