David Franklin was born 04 march 1825 in Allen County, Ohio, to Thomas Franklin (abt1775-abt1845) and Hannah Sibley (1783-1851). David was one of at least 12 children born to Thomas and Hannah. Tradition (and a history source) says that Thomas and Hannah came to Warren County, Ohio, then to Allen County, Ohio, and before Ohio, from Tioga County, New York. However, I have never found any evidence of Thomas and Hannah in Tioga Co. NY. Hannah reports in census records that she was born in Vermont.
When my parents visited Allen Co. Ohio in the early 1990's they found many records for Thomas and Hannah and children. But, they found no records pointing them to a residence of New York. Tioga County Pennsylvania is not far from New York, and some wonder if perhaps the history book reference was about Tioga Co. PA, and not Tioga Co. NY.
My father's dna testing matches the lineage of several sons of Thomas and Hannah. Hopefully through more dna testing, we may find if Thomas Franklin is a son of Joseph Franklin and Abigail Daggett. So far, this Joseph and Abigail appear to be a different family. If anyone is from this line, and matches children of Thomas and Hannah through dna testing, please let me know.
Thomas and Hannah arrived in Warren Co. Ohio by 1820. They resided first in Union Township and by 1830 in Washington Township. By 1840, Thomas and Hanna removed to Allen County, Ohio in Perry Township. When Thomas died around 1845, there were no estate papers or a will found in early records.
