Thankyou for your reply. J.T. Franklin is listed in the 1870 Coosa County Census age 25 with his 3 year old son William and his housekeeper L.Simons.By the 1880 census his son William and Lucy Simons{Simmons}is listed with the willliam and Nancy Stubblefield household ,William Franklin as his cousin and Lucy as William Stubblefields grandmother.I believe J.T. to be dead at this time. I thought since Benjamin Dekalb Franklin was listed in the 1850 Coosa Census with his son John that my J.T. Franklin was his son ,but I keep runnung into people saying Benjamin's son was Johm Easom Frankli.and not a John T. Franklin. I found a marriage listing in Coosa for a John T. Franklin and a Selia Dean 1866.The William Franklin listed is supposed to be William B. Franklin they missed his middle initial in the 1870 and 1880 census.One of Benjamin Dekalbs neices Elizabeth Kelly married a William Stubblefield and I believe their son William is the one listed in the 1880 census with my William Franklin {his cousin}.That is another reason I was leaning toward Benjamin;s son John being my J.T. J.T. Franklin would have been around 15 in the 1860 census. It would be great to find him with his parents or family in the 1860 census.With all the Franklin's living in Mississippi and georgia no telling where he came from. I am very thankful for any help. Thankyou, Tammy
