Ron:Yes, you are right. David Barker named my great grandfather J. T. for his father. Family lore was that the Franklin's somehow connected with the famous Benjamin's father's family back in Boston. I've never gotten past, Eunice Franklin B's father from Bowling Green, Ky.brick wall. The elder J. T. must have been born when Jacob was living for a time in Ky. before settling near Broughton.
I know families often intermarried. If we have any shared allied lines I would be glad to exchange on them, too. I see the Hamilton Co. record lists Jacob as having Irish heritage, have you discovered anything with that? Ancestry.com has the Barker's orig. at Andover, Mass. I try to prove that by each generation & have not gotten that far. Jacob's Camden, S. C. looks interesting as would a re-enactment. Did you get to see that? I live in Indpls & have a wonderful life.Hope same for you.Deborah
