Military*1862 Charles Franks, W. H. Franks, (brothers) and G.W. Gann are listed as a privates in the 42nd AL Infantry, Co. D. I am assuming this is the correct person, since the company was raised in part from Marion County. This regiment was organized at Columbus, Miss., in May 1862, and was composed principally of men who re-organized, in two or three instances as entire companies, after serving a year as the Second Alabama Infantry. The regiment joined Generals Price and Van Dorn at Ripley in September, and was brigaded under Gen. John C. Moore of Texas. A month later the Forty-second went into the battle of Corinth with 700 men, and lost 98 killed and about 250 wounded and captured in the fighting at and near that place. It wintered in Mississippi, Moore's brigade being re-organized with the Thirty-seventh, Fortieth, and Forty-second Alabama, and Second Texas regiments. It was part of the garrison of Vicksburg, and lost 10 killed and about 95 wounded there, and the remainder captured at the surrender of the fortress. The Forty-second was in parole camp at Demoplis, then joined the Army of Tennessee. It fought with severe loss at Lookout and Mission Ridge, and wintered at Dalton. Gen. Baker of Barbour then took command of the brigade, which was in Clayton's (Stewart's) division, Polk's corps. In the spring the Forty-second fought at Resaca with a loss of 59 killed and wounded. It was then continually skirmishing till the battle of New Hope, where its loss was comparatively light, as it was at Atlanta the 22d of July. On the 28th of July the loss was very heavy, and the ranks of the regiment were fearfully thinned by the casualties of battle. A few days later the regiment was sent to Spanish Fort, where it remained on garrison duty during the fall, and till January 1865. It then moved into North Carolina, and its colors floated in the thickest of the battle at Bentonville, and were furled at the capitulation of that army.

Marriage*circa 1862 Principal=Margaret Caroline McGowen 
Military*15 December 1862 Alabama, United States, William grew up in northwest Alabama, following in his father's footsteps as a farmer. As he approached his twenty-first birthday, the political troubles of the U.S. had erupted into the secession of the southern states from the Union. Marion County is located in the northwestern hill country of Alabama. There were few plantations in the county and accordingly few slaves. Slavery was not an issue here and the many small farmers had nothing to gain in a viclory for slavery and many people in the area were against slavery.
At this time, William had dark eyes, black hair, dark complexion and stood five feet nine inches tall. Like many young men from Marion County, he joined the army of the United States. William Franks enlisted with Company A, First Alabama Regiment of the Alabama Cavalry Volunteers on December 15, 1862 at Glendale, Mississippi (near Corinth), along with his brothers, James, Peter and Jeremiah. He was mustered into service on December 31, 1862 at Corinth, Mississippi. During the war he suffered many hardships. His military medical records show that he was treated from February 27 to March 31, 1863 for Rubeola and from April 8 to April 17, 1863 for pneumonia at the General Hospital in Corinth, Mississippi. Earlier, on February 2, 1863, William's older brother James, died in the army hospital at Corinth. In November of 1863 he fought at the Battle of Camp Davies near Corinth. He was listed as present on all muster rolls during his tenure. Later in November of 1863 he was detached from service at the Corinth refugee camp, and was entered on the mustered-out roll dated December 22, 1863 at Memphis, Tennessee. His tenure of service was one year. 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.





 
Residence*1864 Cairo, Illinois, United States, William Franks and his family lived in or near Cairo, Illinois for four years and about 1868 moved back to Marion County, Alabama where he lived for about two years. He then moved his family to McNairy County, Tennessee where his other
brothers' families were living. The Franks brothers were familiar with the McNairy County area being that they were stationed in nearby Corinth, Mississippi during the Civil War. The Franks families continued to live in McNairy County,
Tennessee until about 1879, when they moved to Itawamba County, Mississippi.
 
Anecdote*1864 After leaving the United States service in late 1863, William went back to Marion County, Alabama, where his wife and young son, James W. were living. His brother-in-law, sister and nephew had all died during the war (Enoch, Sarah Franks and James W. Cooksey). He took in his two nieces, Sarah and Cynthia Cooksey. Times were hard in Marion County during this time as people were starving. He took his family, along with his two Cooksey nieces, travelled to Memphis, Tennessee and boarded a river boat for Cairo, Illinois. Aboard the river boat, Sarah Cooksey became ill with smallpox and died. During the middle of the night the authorities came on a "dead boat" and took her body away. Cynthia Cooksey, her sister, always hoped that they buried her or dumped her in the river, but rumor was that they burned her body to keep the disease from spreading. William Franks continued to raise Cynthia Cooksey as his own child until she married Floyd Washington Wigginton on January 3, 1875 in McNairy County, Tennessee. (The Wiggintons moved to Itawamba County, Mississippi along with the Franks and lived in Itawamba County until 1908 when they moved to Norman, Oklahoma. The Wiggintons later moved on to central Texas where they lived out their lives. Cynthia Cooksey Wiggington along with her husband Floyd W. are buried in Dyess Grove Cemetery near Temple, Texas).

Residence1870 McNairy County, Tennessee, United States, He then moved his family to McNairy County, Tennessee where his other
brothers' families were living. The Franks brothers were familiar with the McNairy County area being that they were stationed in nearby Corinth, Mississippi during the Civil War. The Franks families continued to live in McNairy County, Tennessee until about 1879, when they moved to Itawamba County, Mississippi.
