Hi all - Does anyone recognize any of these FRANKLIN'S who resided in Lunenburg CO., VA, in the mid 1750's and then later lived in Bedford CO., VA??? Here they are: Edmund FRANKLIN JR., Edmund FRANKLIN SR., James FRANKLIN (not the one born in 1748 who married Nancy Crews), Owen FRANKLIN, Hugh FRANKLIN, and Benjamin FRANKLIN? If you have any information on these people, who were their parents, who they married, names of children they had, please let me know.

Dear Rachel, This is in reply to your query regarding Susannah (Wright) Bateman and for convenience I am copying the Wright, Bedford, and Amherst lists. My records list Susannah (Wright) Bateman as Susannah (Wright) (Bateman) Mayse, born between 1765 & 1784, married first Benjamin Bateman on June 12, 1804, at Bedford County, Virginia, married second Isaac Mayse before January 21, 1843, resided in 1843 at Mason County, Virginia, and died after April 16, 1847. She was a daughter of 1810 (year of death) John Wright of Bedford County, Virginia (place of death) and his first wife Susannah (_____) Wright and granddaughter of 1767 Francis Wright of Amherst County, Virginia, and Mary (Hawkins) Wright. I would be happy to exchange information on this line, if you will send your regular mail address. I do not have her children and would much appreciate that information, if you have it.

Looking for these names in Amherst Co about 1775. Is there anyone out there who is also researching the Bryant line from Virginia (Amherst, Botetourt Counties)? I'm coming that way later this month and want to gather all the info I can before that. We think that John Bryant and Judith Elizabeth Winfrey were parents of James T. Briant, born 1790, VA. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I am very confused and need help. In my research on my MARTIN line, I have come up with four different pedigrees which list four different fathers for my ggg grandfather James MARTIN born 1730 Albemarle Co. VA or 1730 Edgefield Co. SC. All pedigrees agree on the date of James' marriages to Sarah HARRIS 1765 and his death 1799. Two pedigrees list James'father as James Martin born 1699-Amherst Co. VA-married Elizabeth CRAWFORD 1720. The third pedigree lists father as Thomas Martin born 1715-Albermasrle Co. VA- married Rachel CLARK. The fourth gives Tutchen Martin born 1712 England-married Sarah BENNETT. As for the grandfather of James born 1730, I have Henry Martin born 1672 married Mrs. Ann MARTIN-- Roger Martin born 1639 married Margaret TUTCHEN --Abraham Martin born 1642-45 married Rebecca BELL. If anyone can help me solve this problem of" who is James'father", I will be forever grateful.

Thomas CRAWLEY was born April 25, 1755, in Amherst Co. He lived in Pittsylvania Co. VA, and Guilford Co. NC, before moving to Surry Co. NC, where he married Margaret _____ on March 3, 1786. He moved in 1812 from Surry Co. NC, to the area of White Co. TN, which later became Van Buren Co. TN. Thomas and Margaret had eight children who are listed on the descendancy chart below.

Does anyone have any information on Catherine Franklin who married William Wilkerson on Sept. 27, 1805, in Campbell CO, VA? I would like to know whom her parents were. Her grandfather, Edmund Franklin, gave consent so I suspect both parents were deceased. Anna - Phoenix, AZ - USA * * Wild Wild West * * annaw4@prodigy.net
