I am interested in learning more about the Franklin family of Prince Edward County, Virginia. I understand that Thomas Franklin purchased 400 acres in 1747, just north of the land of Theodorick Carter, who acquired 975 acres in 1748.
Ultimately I am looking for a connection between the Carter and Franklin families. Theodorick's grandson, John (1775 - 1852), by his son Waddill Carter, moved to western Amelia County, and named his sons William RYLAND Carter and BEVERLY ATWOOD Carter based on names found in neighboring families in Prince Edward. William named his son Peyton FRANKLIN Carter. I seek the origins of the Franklin name in the Carter family.
Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated.
