I'm looking for a biography or obit for Rev. Lewis Franklin. He was a wealthy Plantation owner and minister of the 6 mile Baptist Church who migrated from Barren Co., KY to Ft. Osage, Jackson Co., MO before 1840. He was one of the founders of William Jewell College in Clay Co., MO. I have his will.

His wife was Sarah Eliza Petty and they had children:
John Riley Franklin 1817 m. Lucy Ann Walker
Benjamin P. 1818 m. Mary Ann Rice, Letha Horn
Albert M. 1823
Eliza Jane abt 1823 m. Louis Kimbrell
William Henry 1827 m. Eliza Anderson
