Hi Franklin Indiana researchers
A light bulb went on this morning after visiting the
link that Randy Klemme so graciously gave us. When I
connected to the link it stated that Franklin Indiana
was formed in 1811, I think. Well, information I was
given about my G.G. Grandfather David Fletcher marrying
Rebecca Tarwater in 1806 in Franklin In must be
incorrect if Franklin wasn't formed until 1811. What
areas made up the county what county was Franklin prior
to becoming it's own county? Maybe the county they
were married in became Franklin. I did find David
shown on the 1812 War Muster Rolls online in Franklin
IN, so I know they had been there during that time
frame. Could someone please tell me which counties
Franklin came from? I visited the Franklin In genweb
page but it doesn't state where Franklin originated
from.
Thanks Everyone
Jean
Franklin CO was part of Dearborn "Ranges 1W & 2W mark the original Gore
land; the 11E through 13E ranges were added from Indian treaty lands."
