I'm curious if anyone has any additional information about the following family that migrated to Chenango County. In particular, I'd like to learn Margaret's maiden name. For anyone interested, I have additional ancestry and descendant information. Aaron FRANKLIN was born on 11 Feb 1728 in Swansea, MA. He died in 1829/1830 in East Pharsalia, NY. Aaron served in the military and was a member of the "Silver Greys" which was a company of old men too old to otherwise serve. He died in 1829/1830. Aaron married Margaret ?. Margaret and Aaron Franklin were also the great great grandparents of President Calvin Coolidge (Calvin - Victoria Moor COOLIDGE - Abigail Franklin MOOR - Luther Franklin - Jabez Franklin - Margaret and Aaron Franklin), the 30th President of the United States. They had the following children: (1) Jabez Franklin -- born in 1759 in Scituate, RI and died on 26 Feb 1829 in Guilford, VT. Jabez married Sarah STARR. Sarah was born on 28 Nov 1760 in Killingly, Connecticut. She died on 20 Aug 1805 in Guilford, NY. (2) Moses Franklin -- born on 24 Oct 1763 in Scituate, RI and died on 4 Feb 1854 in East Springfield, Otsego Co., NY. Moses enlisted in the Continental Army when he was about fourteen years old and served as a scout for nine months in the area of Massachusetts to Lake Champlain. After his discharge from the army he enlisted in the navy but soon after leaving port the ship he was on was returned on account of unfitness of the ship's commander. He then shipped in a merchant vessel but just before peace was declared the ship and crew were captured by a British privateer and the crew was put ashore on one of the West Indies Islands. He made his way back to America and to Cherry Valley, Otsego Co., N. Y. and became a farmer. He drew a pension for his army service. (3) Aaron Franklin -- born about 1766. (4) Jeremy Franklin -- born before 1770 in Scituate, RI. (5) Benjamin Franklin -- born in 1770 in Scituate, RI or VT and died on 9 Aug 1847 in Preston, Chenango County, NY. He was buried in East Pharsalia Cemetery, Pharsalia, Chenango County, NY. Benjamin Franklin and his wife Sarah BENNETT came to Chenango County, NY with their nine children from Windham Co. Vt., over the Green Mountains, via Cherry Valley turnpike in a covered wagon drawn by oxen (except for Stephen the oldest son, who was married to Betsey Ashcraft of Connecticut who came on horseback -- both riding the same horse). They stopped for a while at Cherry Valley, then came from there to Pharsalia, Chenango County and settled in 1815. Pharsalia had been set off from Norwich in the year 1806. It is recorded in the county clerk's office that Benjamin and Sarah Franklin from McDonough bought a farm in Preston from William Packer in 1844. In early life, Benjamin was said to have been a democrat, but that he was ever a man who had the courage of his convictions, and when the principles of that party failed to coincide with his ideas he became identified with the Whigs and later with the Republican party. He was also a member of the Baptist church of which he was for many years Deacon. Sarah was born about 1775 in VT. She died on 24 Mar 1855 in Preston, NY. She was buried in East Pharsalia Cemetery, Pharsalia, NY. (6) Martha Franklin. (7) Elizabeth Franklin. Elizabeth married Aaron BENNETT.
