Jeremiah Franks

(circa 1791 - before 1870)

Last EditedSep 4, 2005

Note* Both Elisha and Jeremiah had grandsons named John Wesley (John Wesley was the founder of Methodism in the USA) - Jeremiah through his son Oliver and Elisha through his son Eli Alvin. I believe this strengthens the possibility that Jeremiah and Elisha were brothers. Jeremiah and an Elisha Franks had adjoining lands in Itawamba County., Principal=Elisha Franks 
Birth*circa 1791 Georgia, United States, In the 1800 Rutherford County, North Carolina census, there is a Peter Franks and a Henry Franks listed on the same page as John Fisher (Jeremiah's future father-in-law). Based on the census figures, Jeremiah could have been the son of either Peter or Henry. The 1850 census lists Jeremiah's birthplace as Georgia. Also in the 1880 Izard County, AR census, Oliver lists his father's birthplace as Georgia. A land deed in 1856 states Jeremiah was 63, so he may have been born in 1793. 
Marriage*circa 1815 Possibly North Carolina or Tennessee, United States, Mourning Fisher was the daughter of John Fisher and Elizabeth Tubb. They lived in Rutherford County, North Carolina before moving to the Caney Fork River area in Tennessee where the Franks were living., Principal=Morning Fisher 
Note1820 Although he owned land in White and Warren County, he is not found on either census for 1820. There is a "Jeremiah Frank" listed in the St. Paul's Parish, King George County, VA. at this time. It could be possible that this was our Jeremiah. There is also a John Frank listed there. 
LandMarch 1822 Warren County, Tennessee, United States, to Peter Bain of Warren County for $200. This land was on the Caney Fork, and bounded William English. Witnesses were Samuel Gann and Alexander McWhorter, acknowledged 2 Jul 1811, registered 19 Nov. 1822. 
Land2 October 1824 Tennessee, United States, to Peter Bain of Warren county for $40. The land was on the dry branch of the Caney Fork. The deed was witnessed by Alexander McWhorter and Archibald Bain, acknowledged 7 April 1828 and registered 6 June 1828. 
Immigration*between 1827 and 1830 Alabama, United States, The date that they left Tennessee is based on the birthdates of Elizabeth and David (1850 census states Elizabeth was born in TN and David in AL).
According to Sheila Brennan, a descendant of Lemuel Franks (son of Jeremiah), several of the Franks were in the War of 1812 and went with Andrew Jackson to fight at the Battle of New Orleans. The army passed through Northern Alabama and this may have influenced the family to migrate there several years later.

Military*15 December 1862 Alabama, United States, 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.

Jeremiah was not listed living with his wife and daughter in 1870, but with his parents.

Mary Rebecca Rader b. 8 Oct 1850, d. 17 Nov 1904
Marriage*6 May 1865 Arkansas, United States, 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
