Hi All! I've been out of touch a few weeks or so and just reviewed some "older" messages. Was surprised to read about the formation of Franklin. It is a matter of record that Franklin county was originally formed from Bedford and Henry in 1786. The part of Bedford taken to form Franklin was most if not all South of the Staunton River. The VA Assembly enacted the legislation in Oct. of 1785 that called for Franklin to be created effective Jan. 1, 1786. It's true that Henry was formed from Pittsylvania in 1776.
