My GGGrandfather Rev. Lewis Franklin b. VA 1793, m. Sarah Petty 1916 Baren Co., KY, d. 1860 Jackson Co., MO. He may have mved to Anderson Co., KY before going on to MO before 1840. Online trees have his father as John Franklin but I have seen no proof tho there were 2 John Franklin's in Barren Co., KY when he was young. A number of the Barren Co., KY Franklins did move to Anderson Co., KY in the early 1800's. This Franklin family may have come west from Amherst Co., VA and may be descendants of the Francklin family of Tittleshall, Norfolk, Eng. (see Ancestry.com One World Trees).
