Frances assisted her father in his plant breeding experiments, including illustrating some of his books. Frances herself is included as a scientist in The Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century British Scientists, 2004 [OCLC 433970011]. She married T. P. Stackhouse Acton in 1812, and died in 1881. Officially she is Stackhouse Acton at the Library of Congress, which catalogues no publications thus. See WorldCat (above) as Acton, where all her library records may be gathered.
