Pictures provided by decendants of Capt. J. Franklin.
Capt. James Franklin 1755-1828 was an original land grant settler of Sumner County Tennessee. His grave site is in decay near his homestead. We will lose this slice of history if it is not preserved. This blog is dedicated to advocate and promote awareness for the grave site preservation. Use the search option right if you are looking for specifics. This is an amateur blog. I welcome any and all clarification or corrections. Please comment.

Welcome to Our Blog.
Four cousins found each other one day in 2009. Brought together by fate, common interests, conversation and discovery. All four of these women descend from Captain James Franklin. All four have a passion for history and a desire to preserve the history of their family and the history of Sumner County, Tennessee. Please join us often on this blog as we share who Captain James Franklin was, who we are, how we found each other and what we see for the future of this grave site.

We don't want to lose another piece of history. If you have stumbled on this blog and would like to help please contact us through comments on this blog.
