Frank was the son of John B. Whiteley & Elizabeth (Davis) Whiteley. He was born in Indiana, but as a young boy his family moved to Missouri. He had one older sister, Nancy, and one younger brother, William Riley. Frank married Cassandra Boone, who was the great granddaughter of the Famous Daniel Boone. As newlyweds, Frank & Cassandra came out from Missouri to North East Oregon by Ox drawn Wagon Train in about 1853.
They settled in Yamhill County, Oregon, and remained there until about 1874 when they moved to Whitman County, Washington. Francis and Cassandra moved to Adams Oregon about 1890. They had five sons and three daughters, as well as a child who died as an infant. Frank died at his home on the Walla Walla River near Milton, and is buried at the pioneer cemetery at Milton. His remains were later removed and reburied at the pioneer cemetery (possibly Gallaher Cemetery {also called Greasewood}) west of Adams, Oregon. (Information from HISTORY OF ADAMS, Volume 3, Pendleton Library)
Francis Marion Whiteley went by the nick name 'Frank', and for that reason some may have assumed his given name to be Franklin. In at least one record his name was entered as 'Franklin'.
According to a Umatilla, Adams, Oregon Census dated June 2, 1900, Francis Marion owned his home free of any mortgage at that time. His occupation was listed as Farm Laborer. It also stated that he could read, but he could not write. He had been married 50 years at the time of that census document.
His children (w/spouses) include:
John S. Whiteley 1854-1934 (Sarah Campbell)
Sarah Elizabeth (Whiteley) Landry 1856-1930 (John Landry)
Lindsey Boone Whiteley 1858-1931 (Alice McClain/Ella Smith)
