The seven children I have that I received from my Grandmother and have verified through census and some birth records and obituaries are: Lulu Estella who was born 26 Mar 1876 but died prior to 1880; Lilly, born 25 May 1878, who married Hiram Waggon; Clarence, born 04 Sep 1881 and married Margaret Rardon; Bessie Lee, born 10 Apr 1883 and married Sam Waggoner, per my Grandmother; John Earl Franklin, born 20 Aug 1888, who married Hazel Suck; William Erwin Franklin, born 02 May 1892 and married Hazel Suck after John Earl Franklin died; and the last child was a boy, born 25 Feb 1894 but died before 1900, I have his birth certificate record but no record of his death. But just to clarify it isn't Monroe Franklin, it is James Monroe Franklin. Do you have information on the Franklins that you can share?
