Franklin's who were in Botetourt Co, VA about 1800
I Have had no luck with the following posting:
"My ancestor, Sarah Ann Franklin married Henry Abel (Able) in Fincastle, Botetourt Co, VA on September 5, 1816. Henry was the son of John Abel and Elizabeth (Betsy) Hypes Able Who were Sarah Ann Franklin's parents?
"According to early Virginia land records, John Abel's property adjoined William Franklin's land. But is there a connection to his family?"
NOTE: Elizabeth (Betsy) Hypes Able listed above was the daughter of Nicholas Hypes (See Hypes forum).
MY current proposal: If you have one name or a collection of Franklin names from Botetourt around 1800 I would like to work with you in setting up a genealogy data base for further research in this and related families.
I will create generic GEDCOM files which can be imported to your genealogy software.
