Norman Lynch --
After more than 20 years of collecting info ca more than 2000 Crawford Co. IN Civil War
veterans, I am still adding more info. I'm always glad to see notes like yours about
your ancestor, William Harvey Franks. I had not found him as a Crawford Co. resident so
have not listed him in my book, but you said he was returning from Civil War to Crawford
Co. when he died en route.
Was the Nancy Franks listed in 1870 census in Sterling Twp. (with children Malinda,
Nancy, Eliza and William) his widow? If so,it appears that they moved from KY to Indiana
ca 1860-1862 by the birthplace of children, so that explains why I did not pick up on him.
I will need to find the unit he served and dates so I can add him to my listing. I hope
to publish Crawford Co. IN Veterans, Vol. 1, Civil War later this year.
