Francis Tennille (1747—May 21, 1819), was a Lieutenant Colonel during the American Revolutionary War who fought for the American Continental Army. Born in Virginia, Tennille moved to Georgia before the war broke out in 1775. He joined the 2nd Georgia of the Continental Line and on June 20, 1777 became Lieutenant Colonel and served to the close of war. After the war, Lieutenant Tennille received from the general government a commission as Captain by brevet, in recognition of his services in the Continental Army. This commission was in possession of his son Colonel Francis T. Tennille until after the Civil War when a member of the family, hoping to establish a claim, sent it with a number of other commissions of Colonel Francis T. Tennille to Washington where it was lost. William A. Tennille

William A. Tennille, his grandson, stated he had often handled the commission and remembered it well. It was signed by General Miflin, Adjutant General of the Army. The title Lieutenant Colonel, which he held, is supposed to indicate his rank in the militia. (en)
