They had one child, Mary Jane (Gullion) Robertson and moved to Howard County, Indiana in September of 1850. About 1852 his wife died and he married Amanda Smith on 29 August 1853 in Howard County, Indiana. By 1860 he had only $15 in personal property and was working as a day laborer. In 1870 he was living in Harrison Township in Howard County and had no real estate or personal property. Francis and Amanda had 7 children with only 3 living to adulthood. His second wife, Amanda, died shortly after the birth of their last child, Elmer, in December of 1873.

The 1880 Federal Census has all of Francis Gullion's minor children living with the Robertson family and Francis does not appear in the 1880 census.
