Here is what I DO have: Descendants of Samuel Franklin Generation No. 1 1. SAMUEL1 FRANKLIN Children of SAMUEL FRANKLIN are: 2. i. NANCY2 FRANKLIN, b. July 22, 1796, VT; d. July 24, 1846. ii. CYNTHIA FRANKLIN. iii. OTTO FRANKLIN. Generation No. 2 2. NANCY2 FRANKLIN (SAMUEL1) was born July 22, 1796 in VT, and died July 24, 1846. She married JOHN WESLEY ANDREWS 1820. He was born March 10, 1797 in ME, and died April 06, 1861. Children of NANCY FRANKLIN and JOHN ANDREWS are: i. THOMAS K.3 ANDREWS, b. March 01, 1822; d. February 02, 1845; m. LORINDA SERGENT, February 26, 1843. ii. GEORGE W. ANDREWS, b. May 05, 1824; m. FANNY UNKNOWN, January 1845. iii. RHODA JANE ANDREWS, b. July 07, 1826, Orleans County, NY; d. April 05, 1901, Gaines, Orleans County, NY; m. ROBERT J. EMERY, October 07, 1841; b. October 18, 1818, Livingston County, NY; d. February 03, 1881, Carlton, Orleans County, NY. iv. LYDIA M. ANDREWS, b. January 25, 1830; d. September 16, 1874. v. JOHN F. ANDREWS, b. April 05, 1833; d. February 22, 1863. vi. CAROLINE A. ANDREWS, b. May 07, 1835; d. October 15, 1862; m. WILLIAM B. MANNING, September 1850. I also have some letters that Nancy and Cynthia sent back and forth from VT to NY. That is where I learned the names of Nancy's father and siblings. I researched the line of Ben Franklin and found that he was never married although he had children with a housekeeper. My grandmother (now deceased) thought the connection was that our Nancy was Ben's grand-niece (or something like that). Others researching the Franklin name have mentioned that it was actually through Ben's mother's family surname.
