Seeking additional information on Stephen M Franklin & his family.
I've found Stephen In Precinct 7, Escambia Co, FL on the 1880 census with his wife, Mary (Bilberry?), and children.
He's in houhehold 205/217 (image 21 of 28 @ Ancestry.com's online census images):
Franklin, Steaven M 31 AL AL AL
Mary 25 F wife AL GA AL
Wiley M 7 son AL AL AL
Willie M 5 son AL AL AL
Nettie M 3 son AL AL AL
Jessy M 5/12 FL AL AL
Stephen was the son of Morris Franklin & Jane Sims and the grandson of Mark (Martin) Franklin & Nancy Ann Stapleton of Butler Co, AL (my husband's GGGgrandparents). Would dearly love to make contact with one of Stephen's descendants.
All information appreciated!
