Message Board Post:

Andy worked with Thomas Frank in Mobile AL as a river boat pilot. Andy married Frances C. Knowles in Sept, 1863.

They went on to have several children of which I can name;

William, Margaret, Lilly F ( Frances?), Minnie and Stella. It appears that William and Margaret did not live long because they are not listed in the 1880 census with the rest of the family.

Wife Frances is listed as having died in Mobile in 1915. Frances's sister Margaret E. Knowles married John Goodbrad the half brother of Thomas Frank, so these families are all interrelated. Thomas Frank married Elizabeth Turner, the daughter of Joel Lewis Turner and Rebecca Perkins, daughter of George Perkins.

Does anyone recognize any of these individuals? It appears most of them remained in Mobile, AL until their death.

Any help appreciated and very willing to share what I know.
