I think that the Quentius Franklin family moved on to MS... they're in the 1860 Census for Neshoba Co. I wondered what happened to Lockhart Franklin and Singleton Franklin. When Betsy Jinks father died in 1886 she was in Attala Co. MS. 58 Franklin, Singleton 63, m farmer $1300 GA Alex 21? m farmer GA Quentius 20 m student GA (probably married Betsy Ann Jinks) (family records say Lucius Cincinnatus Quentius (LCQ) was born in Hancock Co. 6 Nov 1828. Died in Chichot Co AR (in 1900 census) Ann 15 ? f GA 59 Franklin, Lockhart 24 m $1000 farmer Eliza 25 f Mary C. 4 Martha 1 f
This interests me. Another family that moved from GA to MS?!?!?!? The Knowltons and Dranes did the same thing after the Civil War. Can any one shed some historical reasons that may have motivated the families to move west? I am sure that economics played a major factor. Was the economics so much better there?
