My Franklins were in McMullen County at least by 1870.Jackson J Franklin supposedly owned a store in Three Rivers, Tilden area.He rode a horse to the Mexican border to avoid conscription into the Army during the Civil War.He married a lady named Canzady (or Cauzaday).They had at least four children:Calvin David Franklin(b.June 5, 1866, d.January 17, 1951), Albert D Franklin(census records show the name Allen) (b.November 1867), Mollie Franklin (b.circa 1871),Elsie Franklin (b August 1880).
Calvin David Franklin is my ancestor.He married Georgia Catherine Crow(b.February 4, 1871 in Lamar County, Texas) on February 20, 1890 in Belton, Bell County.
