Babara, since Edward Franklin was born abt 1807, he would have to show up in 1820 Census as age 10-16. In 1820 Ovreton Co., TN there was only Thomas Franklin (born abt 1775) who had a son in that age bracket. The enumeration for Thomas (121110-101000). speculation only according to birth dates 1 son age 16-26 (1794-1804) unknown Franklin 1 son b. 1802-04 Clark Franklin 2 sons b. 1804-1810 Edward Franklin b. 1807 Nathaniel Franklin b. 1804-1810 1 son b. 1810-1820 Unknown Franklin Next door to Thomas Franklin was an Agnes Franklin. She is age 26-45. She has two sons age 1-10 & 16-26 and another female her age bracket. Note that Thomas Franklin does not have a wife. Is Agnes his wife, now divorced, or a sister-in-law? Who is this Agnes Franklin? Abt 13 houses away on same pg is Isaac Franklin b abt 1795/96, a possible son of Thomas? Then on the next pg is a Lawrence Franklin b. 1794-1799 with 1 son age 1-10. Is he another son of Thomas? Also another thing to note that Edward may have been born in KY. Thomas Franklin was in 1810 Cumberland Co. KY Census index. He has 3 sons age 1-10, one of whom could be Edward b. abt 1807. The other 2 sons could be Clark & Natahaniel. Hope to hear from anyone researching these Franklin families to add or to correct. Any feedback, additions, corrections welcomed. -----Original Message----- From: Barbara Franklin Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 9:30 PM To: tnfentre@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNFENTRE] Edward Franklin Hi, James Garrett. I, too, believe that Edward and Clark were brothers, along with Nathan. Unfortunately, "believing" is all I have been able to do. Oral history in our family is that Edward, Sr. was married only one time, to "Sally Black." "Sally" has been used as a nickname for both Mary and Sarah, and we have no evidence that there was more than one wife. On the other hand, other "facts" about our family have been disproven in the past. Thanks for your input re Thomas. I would love to correspond with anyone who is descended from any of these Franklins or who has further information. Meanwhile, I will just keep digging. It is my understanding that a Clark Franklin, married to Mary "Polly" Bowden, belonged to a family from the Carolinas. Oral tradition in our family is that Edward's people came from Kentucky. I don't know if this is the same Clark as in the 1820 Census. Are you assuming that Clark, Nathan, Edward, and Isaac were sons of Thomas, or is there a listing somewhere. I would dearly love to have such a listing. To complicate things even further, there was an Indian, Isaac, who married Caroline Franklin and took her name. This family ended up in Fentress County also. Again, many thanks for your help. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to TNFENTRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Friends: I have that Edward Frankln who md Mary ______ and Sarah Black was born in KY and was the son of Clark Franklin and Lula Underwood. If this is the one you are talking about, perhaps he would not be in Overton County 1820 census, but somewhere in KY. Love, Bruce Bruce E. York 1362 W.
