Nebraska Lore:2359, p. 37-38. "The following Indian story is taken from a collection of early Brown County history memories made in school district No. 18, Fern Keim, Teacher: 'One crossing on Plum Creek was known as Frame's Crossing.' It was located on Frame's homestead northwest of Johnstown. This crossing was used by the Indians on their trips from the Niobrara to Moon Lake."

1812 Birth:443,2245 Birth year of 1812 estimated based on age (38 years) in 1850 U.S. census enumeration. This is supported by the IGI which lists the birth of Jeremiah Frame to James Frame and Susannah Bradshaw on 23 April 1812 in Bourbon County, Kentucky.

Five sons of James Frame2293 and Susannah Bradshaw (Jeremiah, John, Thomas, James, and Silas) were enumerated as adjacent families in the 1850 enumeration in Argyle Township, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. The 1850 enumeration indicates that two of these sons (Jeremiah and James) married women who were born in Illinois, tending to validate this James Frame family as the same one that previously lived in Preble County, Ohio, relocated to Vermilion County, Illinois, and then to Lafayette County, Wisconsin.
