Born in Philadelphia in 1771, Frances Gratz was the second child of Miriam Simon Gratz and Michael Gratz. She was one of a brood of twelve that included Rebecca Gratz and Benjamin Gratz.
Her mother was the oldest surviving child of Joseph Simon, trader, merchant and founder of the Jewish community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Her Father was the fun loving younger half of the successful Gratz brothers of Philadelphia.
Two years following the marriage of Frances's cousin Rachel Gratz to Solomon Etting, Frances married his brother Reuben Etting, strengthening the ties between these two wealthy Philadelphia families. Reuben pursued various business opportunities, and the couple moved back and forth between Philadelphia and Baltimore. They had eight children. Among their grandchildren were Charles Edward Etting and Reuben Etting. [6]
