His father died when Francis was 9 and his mother died by the time he was 12 years old. At age 18, in 1860, Francis was living in Newell Township, Vermillion County, Illinois, with his older half-brother, Chester W. Bushnell, and Chester's wife, Delia (Dayton) and their five children. On 22 Oct 1861 Francis enlisted as a Private in the Union Army and served in Co. F, 4th Illinois Cavalry. Both he and his twin brother, Frank, who enlisted in the Infantry one year later, fought in the Civil War. Francis' hearing was damaged during the famous Battle of Shiloh, in Hardin County, Tennessee. It was the first largest and bloodiest military engagement fought anywhere since Napolean at Waterloo. It ended in a victory for the union, with General William Tecumseh Sherman in charge. The 20,000 casualties at Shiloh on April 6th and 7th, 1862, totaled more than all the wars together fought in America up to that time. Francis remained with his company, fighting through the south; he was discharged in 1864 and returned home to Illinois. He became engaged to Jane Dayton, the younger sister of Delia (Dayton) Bushnell. They were married at Danville, Vermillion Countyy, Illinois on 24 Aug 1865. 02 Oct 2013 , OCR Text: Family Group Record Page 2 of 12 Husband Francis BUSHNELL Wife Jane DAYTON Children List each child in order of birth.
