Frances Harrison Marr (Fannie H. Marr; 1835 –1918) was an American author and poet. At an early age, she contributed poems to newspapers and magazines. Many of her fugitive verses were incorporated in Local and National Poets of America and other standard collections of poetry. Her brother, John Q. Marr (1825–1861), taught at Virginia Military Institute (VMI), and served as a captain of the Warrenton Rifles, 17th Virginia Regiment. He is remembered as the first Confederate soldier killed in an engagement with the enemy during the war, shot at Fairfax Court House in July 1861. Fannie Marr's 1889 poem, "My Suit of Confederate Gray," was published in The Baltimore Sun properly accredited to her. It was subsequently copied by a number of newspapers in the South, as its sentiment struck a responsive chord with those who sympathized with the Confederate cause. On February 4, 1907, the poem was re-published in The Baltimore Sun, this time being attributed to James Clay, a citizen of Baltimore, but the deception was promptly exposed.
