All reasearchers I have talked to have met the same brick wall. I'm so sorry. But the good news is you've made contact with a 5th removed cousin!. I would love to swap stories about Jacob Leonard Franklin's family line. I have lots about James Ray's line. His daughter married into the Ponca Indian tribe with decendants of Standing Bear, a very significant indian chief in American history. I hope you are intereste i sharing your family history.
