I have the indices from the following two books & will do surname lookups for a limited time, just for you fine Franklin Co. folks. As you know, Franklin was once part of Granville & Bute in these time frames. "Abstracts of Early Deeds of Granville Co. NC, 1746-1765" by Zae Hargett Gwynn (probably indicate deed book & page #) "Bute Co. NC Land Grant Plats & Land Entries" by Brent Holcomb, 1974 (P is Plat, E is Entry) -- Genealogically yours, Mark A. Murphy
