FRANKLIN/GENTRY Delta Co.TX, ARK, AL VA
The 1880 Delta County TX Census, as transcribed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, lists my ggrandfather William J. Franklin(63)born in Alabama (both parents born in VA) married to Jerusha R.(Gentry)FRANKLIN(51)born in Ark.(Parents born Fa:GA Mo:SC) Children: William G.(Gentry)"Bud" FRANKLIN (21)AR; Sallie (could be Bannie) FRANKLIN (19) AR; James FRANKLIN (16) AR; Rosiett (Rosie) FRANKLIN (14)and possibly another married son listed on the 1880 Delta Co. Census: Benjamin W. FRANKLIN (29)AR married to Hettie FRANKLIN (21)IA. Living with them was a brother-in-law:William H. CRESS (20) IA. There may have been another daughter, Ethyl Franklin, born to William and Jerusha Franklin after the 1880 census. I have made contact with a descendant of William G.(Gentry) "Bud" Franklin and I am a descendant of James Franklin but am trying to locate descendants of any other people listed above, particularly the Franklin families.
