Phillip is the person who was a silver smith that I mention. William B is listed with his mother on the 1860 Franklin Co Census and was listed as 10 years old. His mother was Emeline Forbes. There is a marriage record for her and Phillip in Franklin Co Marriage Bonds 1 Oct, 1842 with the surety Harvey Hieth. In the 1870 census records Emeline is in the home of Cluff Brooks and William is not listed but his brothers WT is listed as Wiley and Geo W is listed as George and there is another brother Charles. Then in 1880 Emeline is still in the home of Cluff Brooks and only her son Charles F is listed with her and his daugher and a granddaughter.
