Franklin County, created in 1837 in the north western portion of the state has a long history. The history in this volume covers the time from creation up to the time of the original publication in the mid-1880s. The biographical sketches were submitted by the families themselves, therefore, they are probably more accurate than other sources.
Example:
Hon. T. D. Berry was born in Jackson County, Ala., at Belfast, September 24, 1827, and is a son of Thomas and Elizabeth (McFerrin) Berry. The father was born and reared in Virginia, and was a soldier in one of the Indian wars. He was a planter, and died in Alabama. The maternal grandfather was James D. McFerrin. etc etc...
