This is not a mis-spelling. The distinction according to gender between Francis and Frances is a modern one, as are many spelling conventions. Spelling in the 18th century was a more individually determined matter.

The spelling as given here is the exact spelling from the baptismal record. It is clear in the case of both mother and daughter that it is to females that the name refers.
