Do know if the 1900 is online for Franklin County, but the 1860 and 1870 manufacturing and agricultural census, as well as the regular census for the county are online on Valley of the Shadow. http://valley.lib.virginia.edu/ One tip in using this site - some of the transcriptions are not the best and the names are often misspelled, so be generous in your use of 'wild cards' You can also search by given names.
