Francis (or Frank [actually Franklin], he used both names) was born in Chester County, South Carolina to William and Jane Elliott Reedy. He married Susanna Jane Miller about 1842 in Chester County, South Carolina, and their first five children were born there. His middle name is not recorded in any document I have seen; however, I'm highly confident it is "Elliott" as he is named after his maternal grandfather, Francis Elliott. Furthermore; his brother George has Elliott as his middle name as does George's son and grandson. His maternal uncle Richard 'Richey' Elliott is also buried here in Dyer Cemetery.

While part of the Reedy family moved to Cherokee & Calhoun County Alabama about 1840 (his mother is buried in that area) Frank & his family moved further eastward to Itawamba/Monroe County, MS around 1855 where Francis had some 450 acres. His brother James Brown Reedy & family moved to Itawamba County as well at about the same time.

Francis and Susanna had eleven known children together, eight survived to adulthood. Nine are linked here, two others, Margaret A. and J.M (son) are the other known children who probably died as children.

He served in the 43rd Regiment, Mississippi Infantry, Company G CSA during the Civil War. Frank was a farmer his entire life. He died in Amory, MS.
