| NOTES: This family (minus William Franklin who was not yet born) came to Leon Co. with William's parents and siblings and their families in late 1858 in a wagon train that included the families of William Solomon Jackson BOYKIN, Richard Hardy BOYKIN, Rowell BOYKIN, James Alexander BOYKIN, Sr., Richmond PATE, Frank WILLIAMS, M. T. SHOEMAKER, M. C. CARMICHAEL, S. A. CASTLES, and R. C. BRYAN, with their respective married sons' and daughters' families and other families whose names are not known. After the War of Northern Aggression started, William returned to Mississippi (where his uncle Jacob Walker LEE still resided) to fight and did not return. He is presumed to have died while serving the CSA. His son, William Franklin was born after he left. Sarah died of pneumonia when the children were still small (ages 9 and 4) and the children went to live with their widowed grandmother, Polly Lee GRAHAM. Uncle Jacob Walker LEE came to Leon County in 1868 and, after a year on Lyn Branch, moved next to Polly and her grandchildren at Kidd's Mill between Flo and Midway, where he stayed until about the time of Columbia's first marriage. Presumably with his widowed sister now having a son-in-law to look after her, he moved on to Freestone County near several of his Blakely-in-laws. Sarah's father was born in Massachusetts into a long line of Massachusetts Twi(t)chells dating back to the Puritans who arrived in 1630. |
