Frank was a verteran of the War of Northern Aggression in which he fought for the Confederacy.
"He enlisted in 1861 in Callaway County, Missouri, under General Joe Shelby. Gained enviable record as a soldier." - CONFEDERATE RECORDS FROM THE UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY FILES, Volume VII by Joanne Chiles Eakin.

Frank's nephew - Edward Barnes - was murdered, (along with 6 other unarmed youths), by Union troops at the Brown family barn in what would become known as the Brown Farm Massacre.

On April 26, 1867 in Callaway County, Missouri, Frank married Mary Elizabeth Weir. Most of their lives were spent in Callaway County, Missouri, however, in the late 1800's they moved to Colorado where Frank worked as a grocer. In 1914, they were living in Colorado Springs, Colorado (according to his brother, William's, obituary). Sometime later, the family moved to Los Angeles, California where they spent the rest of their lives. They appeared in the 1920 US Census in Los Angeles County, California. Frank was 87 years old at the time of his death.
