He was born in SC ~1823, married Amanda Caroline Farrow and had 5 children in GA and AL (Sarah Jane b. 1843, m. Miles Manuel Welch; W. Harris b. 1846 m. Barbara Huffman, Thomas Malmoth b. 1847, m. Nancy Adaline Huffman, James Richard b. 1850 m. Mary J. Venable, and Colonel Wiley b. 1853 m. Lydia Staggs). In 1850 they were living in Summerville, Chatooga, GA, but it seems they had come to Cherokee Co. Alabama by 1853, as in fall 1853 Larkin was indicted in the Cherokee County Circuit Court for the murder of Benjamin F. O'Bannon (who seems to have been born around 1827 in Alabama and to have been living in Cherokee County in 1850 with his mother Elizabeth and some siblings). The venue was changed to Benton/Calhoun County, where in Nov 1857 he was convicted. He unsuccessfully appealed (Bramlett v. the State 31 Ala. 376) and was hanged on 5 Mar 1858. I'm looking for any more information on this case, Larkin, or Benjamin O'Bannon. Thanks for your help! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
