Hi Donna, How are things at Perry Historians? Can't tell about Franklintown, but Warner Beers History of Franklin Co, 1887, says Tomstown was settled by John Toms about 1820, so it would have been Tomstown before 1838. It had a pop. of 200 in 1887, and at one time was home to a large Mormon settlement. I found no mention of Franklintown in the book, either in Washington or Quincy Twp.s. Bill
