Frances Anne Kemble was an actress and writer; her aunt was the notable tragedienne Sarah Siddons.

Kemble married American Pierce Butler in 1834. He later inherited a plantation with slaves and they spent the winter of 1838-39 on Sea Island, Georgia. Kemble was shocked by the conditions of the slaves and their treatment and she tried to better their conditions and complained to her husband about slavery. Tensions developed in the marriage and they divorced in 1849, with Butler keeping custody of the two daughters until they came of age.

She returned to the stage in 1847 in order to support herself and was reunited with her daughters when they turned 21. The eldest daughter married a doctor named Owen Jones Wister and they were the parents of Owen Wister, the author of the 1902 western novel, The Virginian.
