I checked all the census reports, 1850 to see because Jonathan married a Martha Beal in 1852. this was one of problems I had because my ggrandfather Johnny Franklin, would have been a baby, It does show him later at about 13 years old with his daddy and step mother. he referred to her as Fannie, my mom said. Someone had told us the courthouses in some of those counties had burned. We were going to Selma to research and never made it. If you are in Petal ms are you in Perry co.ms? Can't remember, we lived in Ocean Springs for 50 years.There were Perry's living there at one time. sorry I'm not much help.
