H. L. Franklin + Essie Eason, b. late 19th C.
I am interested in finding the descendants of H. L. Franklin who married Essie Epps Eason perhaps in MS. Essie was probably born there in the late 19th Century. Essie's mother went blind and at least one of her three daughters did. Essie was one of the three.
Essie and H. L. Franklin had the following known children:
1. Elizabeth
2. Russell
3. Mary Glenn
4. Keith
We are interested in information on this family to learn whether any of them (or their descendants) were blind. This could be of enormous help to my husband and his male cousin who have a rare genetic eye disease of the cornea. While this disease usually strikes females in their 50s and 60s, their are a number of males in the extended family with this disease.
Any information on this family would be appreciated even if you think there is no connection. It could help not only my husband and his cousin but, also, could be of great interest to others in the extended family. Thank you.
