I am a bit late responding to the posts regarding missing records for Franklin Co., and would like to post my family ties to Franklin Co. Still searching for a date and place of marriage for my ancestors James THOMSON (1772--1847) and Nancy WRIGHT, b. abt. 1776--d. c, 1815--1819 (thought to have died after the birth of this couple's seventh child, Robert #2, 1815--1883). James was born in what was then Cumberland Co., leaving the Chambersburg area in March 1807 moving west to Allegheny Co., PA w/ wife Nancy and three of their seven children... Elizabeth b. c.1800 (mcTAGGART); Hannah, b. c. 1802 (WYLIE); and Ann Jane b. 1804 (CAROTHERS) born in Franklin Co. Their first child Robert #1 died in infancy and is most likely buried in Franklin Co. Margaret b. 1808 (LAMBIE); James b. 1812 (Margaret PLANKERTON), and my direct line Robert #2 b. 1815 (Ellen B. CARSON) were born in Allegheny Co. James (1772--1847) was a sicklemaker by trade. He was the 14th child born to Alexander and Elizabeth (nee EDMONSTONE) THOMSON who settled in Cumberland/Franklin Co., in 1772. They were staunch Scottish Covenanters and early pew holders in the Rocky Spring Presbyterian Church. Surnames of spouses of James' siblings include: LINDSAY COLHOUN GREER ANDREWS PURVIANCE WATSON (Andrew and William) COWAN RHEA/REA SHAW EDGAR LOGAN WRIGHT PEEBLES SHIELDS and McCLELLAN[D]. If anyone has further info about Presbyterian church records for this time period, and how to access them, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. A safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend to All.
