$30.00

Thomas Mason Francis was born in Tyrrell County, North Carolina in 1839. When he was 22 the Civil War started and a month later, he enlisted to fight for the Confederacy in the navy. After the war he could not return to his home county, so travelled to Australia selecting land on the Bogan River NSW in 1879. He expanded his holdings, married Eva Emma Judd and raised a family – and many descendants reside in the western parts of the state. In 2010, 145 years after the Civil War, over 100 descendants gathered at his grave in Gilgandra to honour their American ancestor. Include b/w  photos.
