Franklin is, shall we say, a most "interesting" individual. Known as "the Scoundrel" in the Kelly Family tree. According to written notes, remembered history, conversations and records he didn't divorce his wife (Elizabeth) he simply deserted her and his sons (Lavinia was already married), moved down river and married the Widow Tolbert. I'm a descendant of his son John and have met and talked to cousins through Lavinia, George and Allen AND cousins through his "second" marriage. The old boy had definite problems with the truth. According to census, land and sundry legal records he was born in Georgia, Alabama, Virginia and Louisiana, He was born in anywhere between 1800 and 1815 but the one thing he couldn't do is change his profession as a "Brick mason." Every tree has one and I still love him.
Allen was born about 1806. He passed away about 1890.
