He graduated from Allegheny College, Pennsylvania, in 1839, and began teaching in Mississippi and then (West) Virginia. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in Fairmont, Marion County, (West) Virginia, in 1842. One of the clients he represented was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He also started a coal mine on family property in 1854 and entered into a partnership with coal pioneer James Otis Watson. During the 1840s and 1850s, he became interested in politics, joined the Whig Party, and opposed slavery. He participated in the First and Second Wheeling Conventions in 1861. Elected Governor of the Restored Government of Virginia on June 20, 1861, he continued to serve as Governor of Virginia after the Civil War, until 1868. He continued in politics, serving one term in the West Virginia Legislature in 1870, and serving as Collector for the Internal Revenue Service in West Virginia in 1880. After retiring from politics, he spent the final years of his life as a founder and member of the West Virginia Historical Society. He died in Pittsburgh, PA, on March 24, 1899.","Julia and Francis had four children: Samuel Robertson \"Sammie\" (November 12, 1855 - January 22, 1920), Anna \"Nannie\" or \"Pierrie\" (April 14, 1858 - March 22, 1932), and twins Francis William \"Willie\" (September 13, 1860 - February 11, 1920) and Mary Augusta \"Mamie\" (September 13, 1860 - June 18, 1864).
