Military*

15 December 1862

Alabama, USA; Jeremiah Franks enlisted with Company A of the First Alabama Calvary of the United States Army on December 15, 1862 at Glendale, Mississippi, along with his brothers, William, James and Jeremiah. Jeremiah served until the end of the war, he later transferred to Company C.
For the first few months of service, the First Alabama Cavalry was headquarted at Glendale, Mississippi. They were largely engaged in successful scouting and foraging expeditions in northern Mississippi and Alabama oweing to their acquaintance with the area. In early May of 1863, Brigadier General Grenville M. Dodge in a report to Major General Stephen A. Hurlbut praised the First Alabama Cavalry for bravley charging Colonel Phillip D. Roddy's Confederates at Bear Creek with unloaded muskets. Colonel Florence M. Cornyn, who had been closer to the Alabamians in their baptism of fire than his Brigadier General, was less complimentary in his report: "I ordered a charge by the First Alabama Cavalry, which I am sorry to say, was
not obeyed with the alacrity it should have been. After charging to within short musket-range of the enemy, they halted for a cause I cannot account for, and the enemy escaped into the woods..." What Cornyn probably couldn't understand was that when these men came into musket-range of the Rebel forces and could see the enemy face to face, it came home to them that they weren't fighting some unknown enemy but friends, neighbors and in
many cases members of their own families. Two companies of the First Alabama Cavalry were attached to Colonel Abel D. Streight in his famous charge across Alabama against Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forest which ended in a battle near Gasden, Alabama. In October, 1863 the First
Alabama under the command of Colonel George E. Spencer, a force of about 650 men, was ordered to move out of Corinth toward Columbiana, Alabama. It's objective was to destroy the railroad from Line Station to Elyton. However, about 40 miles out of Glendale at Jones' Crossroads (present-day Red Bay, Alabama), the regiment was attacked by 2000 Confederates. During the remainder of 1863 the main body of the First Alabama Cavalry remained in the Memphis, Tennessee area recuperating. From time to time, a regiment, a picked patrol or a company of this unit was sent out on reconnaissance expeditions, sometimes skirmishing with Confederate cavalry patrols. For the first few months of service, the First Alabama Cavalry was headquarted at Glendale, Mississippi. They were largely engaged in successful scouting and foraging expeditions in northern Mississippi and Alabama owing to their acquaintance with the area.
Jeremiah was the only brother who remained in the service after 1863. During the early part of 1864 Jeremiah, along with his fellow men, was sent out on a reconnaissance expedition, sometimes skirmishing with Confederate cavalry patrols. The regiment moved to Atlanta and from there moved into South Carolina with the Third Brigade to the Savannah River encountering the troops of "fighting Joe Wheeler" for two battles in early February of 1865. On March 7, 1865, Jeremiah's company moved into North Carolina stopping at Monroe's Crossroads for the night of March 9th. Jeremiah was awakened from his sleep by whistling bullets and the yelling of the enemy who had charged the camp led personally by General Joe Wheeler. A bloody hand to hand combat that lasted for more than three hours followed. Finally the Fifth Kentucky and the Fifth Ohio came to the rescue and succeeded in driving the enemy from the camp. In July 1865, the First Alabama returned to north Alabama around Huntsville, where they remained until they were mustered out in October of that year.

Marion County, Alabama, USA; Based on the 1870 census, Jeremiah would have been born in 1851 and in Tennessee. The 1860 census puts his birth as 1846 in AL. 1880 census puts birth at 1852 in AL.^3,4,5,1,6

Marriage*

6 May 1865

Fulton County, Arkansas, USA; There is no marriage certificate available for them as the court house burned during the Civil War and then again later. They probably married in Fulton county, where her father lived, or in Izard county where his father lived. The 1880 census lends a doubt that this was Mary Rebecca Rader as the date of birth, birthplace of Mary and her parents is not accurate.; Principal=Mary Rebecca Rader^9,5

Migration*

1889

Caldwell County, Texas, USA; Rosalie Guthrie states that the Franks and Guthrie families moved from Arkansas to Texas, that Jeremiah (Isaac's brother) travelled by train with Isaac's wife, Lou, as she was pregnant. The rest of the family went by wagon. Brother, William David, had already been living in Caldwell County for about 10 years and Aunt Frances Franks Williams had been there since the late 1850's.; Principal=Isaac Lemuel Franks¹³

Izard County, Arkansas, USA; Land was bought under Certificate # 18046, Accession # AR0840_.266 at the Batesville Land Office. It consisted of 160 acres - the NE quarter of the NE quarter, the North half of the NW quarter, and tahe SE quarter of the SW quarter of Township 18 North, Range 9 West, of the 5th Meridian in Izard County. The certificate states "Jeremiah Franks of Fulton County", so I am making the assumption that this is the correct Jeremiah.¹⁴

Caldwell County, Texas, USA; "Jerry T.

Living with his wife, son and 2 daughters and a boarder "John M. Williams, who is actually related to him through his aunt Frances Franks Williams. Living next door is daughter Nancy and her husband, Joseph Skidmore. It is interesting to note that it is stated that they were married 34 years, which would put the marriage date about 1866. Jeremiah was not listed living with his wife and daughter in 1870, but with his parents. It is possible he was just visiting them at the time, however, this means his wife and daughter were apparently overlooked in the census.l; Principal=TX Caldwell Co Census 1900, Resident=Mary Rebecca Rader, Resident=Voet Embrey Franks, Resident=Fannie Olivia Franks, Resident=Mary Cordelia Franks, Resident=John M.

21 June 1860

Aston's Store P. O., Marion County, Alabama, USA; "John J. Franks", white, male, age 14, attended school, born AL. Living with Elijah and Nancy Franks, who I believe to be his grandparents (it has not been established yet that their son was Lemuel B., father to John J.). Also living with them are two other sons of Elijah and John's brother, William. It is possible that John and William have been orphaned through disease or the civil war. Neither parents are found in this or later censuses.; Principal=AL Marion Co Census 1860, Witness=Elijah S. Franks²
