I've only payed slight attention to this line, but have a Franklin who m.
into my Cross line in Carondelet, Missouri. no idea what her ancestry is,
but her parents were Napoleon Bonaparte Franklin and Mary Louise Constant.
they were m. in 1830 in St. Louis.
I don't usually trace collateral lines backwards into ancestry, but maybe
they belong to someone elses branch and I can add to it...
