Son of Valentin and Maria Franck. Married Margaretha Barth Sept. 30, 1829 in Biblis, Darmstadt, Germany.
Father of Katherina (1823-1869) (m. Herman Rudolph)
Elizabeth (1825)
Valentine (shown in some records as Vincent or Fallodine) (1828- )
Heinrich (1830 - 1909) (m. Margarette Grieser)

Magdalena (1835 - 1852 )
Jacob (1837 - )
Franz Joseph (1840 - 1927 ) (m. Josephine Piper)
Eva Marie (1844 - 1902 (m. Egidius Mueller)
Joseph Christian (1846-1917) (m. Katherien Schupp)
When Johann immigrated, his surname was changed from Franck to Frank.
John resided and raised his family in Saint Louis, Mo and appears in the 1850 census with wife Mary (47), Valentine (22), Henrich (20), Jacob (12), Magdalena (14), Franz (10), Eva (6), and Joseph (3). John appears in the 1860 census with Franz (20, a "tinner"), Eva (17) and Joseph (14, a "tinner apprentice"), as well as his widowed daughter Katherine Frank Rudolph (36) and grandchildren Eva Rudolph (7), Frank Adam Rudolph (6) and Barbara Rudolph (4). The most likely entry in the 1864 City Directory locates him on Columbus Street between Marion and Caroll (now 3rd street south of Marion).
John appears in the 1870 census in St. Nazianz as a laboror age 69, caring for his orphaned grandchildren Eva and Adam Rudolph.
In September 1866, John relocated to Saint Nazianz, Wisconsin with widowed daughter Katherine Frank Rudolph, and Grandchildren Eva, Frank Adam and Barbara Rudolph and lived as a part of the Fr. Ambrose Oschwald Roman Catholic Colonization Society. He took with him a sum of $3,000 in gold which he deposited with the Colony. On October 8, 1871, he left the St. Nazianz colony briefly to return to St. Louis where his sons Jacob and Joseph resided as his health was fading. He returned to the St. Nazianz colony in May of 1872 for care due to infirmity, and remained a resident of the colony until his death. In his will he left $1,800 to the colony to cover his medical expenses, and also provided for $100 to "Falladine" (Valentine) Frank, Henry Frank, John Frank, Joseph Frank and Eva Frank Mueller, $50 to his granddaughter Eva Rudolph and $50 to his housekeeper/caregiver at St. Nazianz, Josephine Karcher.
Until 2019 there was no stone; church records indicated that he was buried in an early area of the cemetery that was once marked by wooden crosses which have long since weathered away. In 2019 local historian Bob Domagalski led a generous effort to add markers to this section following extensive study of burial records.
