Hi,Thanks for your response.My Great-grandfather was William Franklin, son of William Franklin and Mrs. Martha Moore who married in Phelps Co., MO.In 1880, they were living in Dent Co., MO very close to the Phelps Co. line.William, the son, was born in 1873.Family tradition is that his father died when he was around 8 years of age.This family has always been a mystery and would love to know why you feel the William in Phelps Co and the William in Bates Co are the same.There seems to be a connection with the Franklins and/or Moores to Carter Co., MO.Any help would be great!
