I am looking for information (especially any family stories, pictures, etc...) on the following families in Franklin Co Benjamin Mayes s/o Virginia Frances Lavinder d/o George W. Lavinder & Sally Stegall - Born 1879 Henderson Co KY - Raised by a Franklin County Lavinder family from the 1880s to his adulthood - This may have been the family of George W Lavinder or one of his children or in-laws. I'd love to know which family he was raised in. Evelyn B Johnson born 1831 Franklin Co married 3/3/1845 to Simeon Hale born 1827 Franklin Co Carter Braxton Terry born about 1800 married to Tabitha Kidd on 12/30/1822 in Franklin Co. Dabney Carter born on 5/7/1788 married to Celia Brock 8/18/1808 in Franklin Co Virginia. I have heard that he is the son of Barnett or Barnard Carter but I can not find any documentary proof. Does anyone have any details? Thanks, Tammy Mayes

Well, we'll give this a try again. Looking for Frances Ferguson's maiden name. She was born in 1810 Looking for her husband as well. There were three "known" children. Emily Ferguson Sink who married Daniel Sink, son of Henry and Eliz. Snyder Sink Joseph Ferguson who married Elizabeth Griffith. I believe her to be the oldest daughter of John C and Martha Griffith. I have no proof of this except circumstantial evidence that supports the notion. Joseph and Emily were married in 1851 by Abraham Barnhart who lived a few doors down from them in the 1850 census. He was a minister for the Church Of The Brethren. It would be nice to know if there were any records kept by him or his family. Minerva Ferguson married John Morrell and disappeared. Emily and Joseph, with their families, moved to WV, early 1860's...Mercer/Fayette counties.

Trying to locate parents of Thomas B Trent b. 1798 in Franklin Co. His mother may have been Nancy Trent (parents William Trent & Susannah Bryant). He and his siblings Frederick, Mary & William possibly illegitimate. Thank you, Heather

I am trying to learn more about the family of Jonathan RICHARDSON of Franklin Co., VA. I descend from a Canada(y) RICHARDSON b.1755 who may be a son of Jonathan's. Jonathan's will lists sons Canaday and Drury (among others). There is information for RICHARDSONs consistent with both of these sons in Ashe Co., NC around 1810, but My Canada is in the Nashville area by 1811... Just trying to gather enough info to claim or reject this Franklin Co. Jonathan as my Canada's father. Jonathan's wife was Elizabeth TAYLOR... J.R. Richardson in Southern California

I have Sarah Mullins that married brother David Scarborough as d/o Booker and Judith (Stanley) Mullins, but don't know if it's correct.
