Introduction

Joseph A. S. Acklen and Adelicia Hayes Franklin, Isaac Franklin's widow's 2nd husband, was enumerated separately in 1860 for six named plantations, Loango (85 slaves) , Panola (70 slaves), Killarney (114 slaves), Lachlomond (104 slaves), Bellevue (130 slaves) and Angola (159 slaves). Adelicia inherited all of Franklin's properties and so presented Joseph with a prenuptial agreement specifying that she would be sole owner and final authority over all the properties she brought into the marriage.

Bellevue was owned in share with John Armfield, Isaac Franklin's slave trading partner.^[1]
