Franklins in AL and AR.
Teria Franklin 7/03/00
Amelia Ethridge that married William M.(Bud) Franklin was my great aunt.According to our records he was born in 1856 in Al. She was his second wife.He had three children when he married Amelia. Ely, James Owen, and Dade. He and Amelia had at least 10 children. She died in 1908 and he married a third wife Julia Patridge.There are reports that he later had a 4th wife. We show his father to be Samuel Ash Franklin b 1824 and his mother was Aletha Avons b 1831.
The 1860 census for Tuscaloosa Co., Al. Shows him to be 4 years old under father Ash Franklin. Hope this helps.If you have more info on Amelia would like to compare notes.
