Back when Jamie and Claire lived in France and were trying to thwart the Battle of Culloden they lost their daughter Faith before she was ever born. Master Raymond healed Claire saving her life. Jamie and Claire buried Faith in France.
After the Battle of Monmouth, William brings Fanny Pocock to live with the Frasers after the death of her sister Jane. While they are packing for their trek home to the Ridge, Claire finds Fanny singing “I Do Life to Be Beside the Seaside,” a song that was written in 1907. Claire remembers singing it to Faith. How can Fanny know this?
Fanny also has a locket with a small portrait of her mother. The outside of the locket has the word Faith engraved into it. Is this her mother’s name or is it just the word?
Claire believes Fanny and Jane’s mother was their daughter Faith. But how can that be? Does this have something to do with Master Raymond needing forgiveness?
Master Raymond did take Faith (in the show) and apparently healed her or brought her back (I find this one of the worst plot twists). He took her to a shop owner he was friends with because he had to leave the city. Jamie was still in the Bastille and Claire was still sick. He tasked the shopkeeper with taking Faith back to Lady Broch Turach but when the woman tried; Jamie and Claire has already left for Scotland believing Faith had died.
Faith grew up believing the shopkeeper was her mother. On her deathbed, the woman told Faith the truth. Faith, her husband, and two daughters (Jane and Francis “Fanny”) boarded a ship to the Colonies after discovering Lady Broch Turach lived in the back country of North Carolina. Their ship was boarded by pirates. Faith was thrown overboard, her husband killed, and the girls were taken and sold to a brothel.
Jane was old enough to remember these things and told the man who took down her story of killing the man who wanted to hurt her sister. Young Ian found the writer of the pamphlet about Jane and got his notes which he sent to Jamie and Claire so they would know Fanny is their granddaughter.
We don’t know if Faith could travel through time as she was never in contact with standing stones.
