I don't research much on the Franklin line but I did for many years. I was fortnuate to get a lot of information on the Frankin (and the Park family) from Sylvia Suddeth, Jerry V. Payne and Carl Hannah coupled with my own research. You will find some old queries and bits and pieces of my old Franklin webpages on the internet. My great great grandfather was James A. Franklin who married Lou Ann Park. I descend through his son, John Newton Franklin and Catherine Ida Grigg.
Over four years ago I submitted a Y-DNA sample for the Franklin surname DNA study. Results came back that, in terms of DNA, we descend not through a Franklin line but rather through a FERGUSON male ancestor. Would love to find another male who descends from the James A. Franklin line to see if they obtain the same results.
Probably explains why I have never been able to find anything on Riley Franklin prior to his living in Limestone, Co. AL. Never did find additional info on Riley after he sold his land in Johnson. Moreover, research into the Preston Franklin line (brother to Riley?) hit a brick wall. Same with the Ashworth family. Good luck, Randy Franklin
