  "Gardner Green owned land next to Isshom [Isham or Issom] Franklin, found on the Internet one time but can't find it now.  Did I tell you on my kin's Guion Miller application, she listed my Thomas Franklin born around 1780 as dark complected, coarse black hair.  She is the only one that had seen Thomas Jefferson Franklin.  I believe Ephriam [sic] Franklin and Nancy were his parents.  I have Ephriam Franklin's estate papers, and he names Thomas Bartley Henry and James Sizemore as heirs.  James was married to Patience Franklin."
