Frances Parke Custis (elder) died in 1715. Frances Parke Custis, born about 1686–1687, married John Custis IV in 1705. A daughter of Daniel Parke and Jane Ludwell, she inherited land, a mill and enslaved people; records discuss selling it to meet her father’s debts. Her surviving children included Daniel Parke Custis, Martha Washington’s first husband, and a daughter also named Frances. She died in 1715 after an unhappy marriage. Her precise vital dates remain uncertain; the two Franceses are distinct. The available account does not establish a medical cause or a dependable sequence of final symptoms and care.
