Frank married Zillah Haynie on Christmas Eve 1822.
Zillah wrote in her journal-
...the moaning winds over a hill some hundred miles distant, where now the plow share passes but which was once a forest whose descent you my beloved Francis came very near losing your life. I had been to a prayer meeting and was returning, riding an unshod horse. He fell and rose repeatedly, until at length you and I were thrown over his head and the print of his hoof was left as near your head as was possible not to wound.

Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.
