Biography

A great deal of information about the Franklin B. Chinn family comes from "Genealogies of Kentucky Families", KY Historical Society, 1981..

Judge Franklin B. Chinn died in Franklin County, KY, near the Forks of Elkhorn. He was born in the Cane Run neighborhood of Fayette County, KY, five miles from Lexington..

During a 20 year residence in Henry Co., KY, he was twice elected to represent that county in the popular branch of the General Assembly (from 1831 to 1836-7)..

After the death of his wife Mary, Judge Chinn married Anna (Annie) Bell (Wells), moved to Franklin Co., KY, where he lived until his death. Although living the unambitious, unobtrusive life of an independent farmer, a man of his sterling worth and rare intelligence could not fail to attract the esteem and self-confidence of his neighbors and of all who made his acquaintance. He held the responsible office of Magistrate for many years prior to 1861, when he was elected County Judge under circumstances which signally attested the high character of the man, his great popularity with all classes and the unqualified trust reposed in him by his fellow citizens throughout the county..
