She was born about 1848 in Marion Co AL, the daughter of Elisha F Franks & Pheriba. This is all I have on this person so I do not know if she is the one you are looking for. If this looks promising I can check with another cousin who has done more extensive work on this line and see if she has any more. Good luck. Aimee Burgess
