(Which is, perhaps, why he came back to the area, hoping to settle.) David Franklin = Martha Bennett at Burghclere, Hants on 27 Aug 1753 David may be the one baptised to Edward and Mary Frankline 20 July 1729 at Wickham Berks. There are lots of CALM wills for Franklin at Burghclere and Ecchinswell, so Edward may have come from the Kingsclere area where there had been a Franklin family with enought to need wills in most generations.
