Franklin Marion Dunn was the first child born to Franklin Dunn (1815-1874) and Sarah Ann "Saryan" Elizabeth Harkins (1829-1886). The couple married in Tallapoosa County, Alabama on the 19th of December 1844. Burial locations for Franklin and Saryan are unknown at this time, but memorials have been created for them in Tallapoosa County.
Franklin and his new family lived in Tallapoosa County for the 1850 Federal Census and the 1855 Alabama Census. Franklin Marion was born on the 30th of May 1846, according to his grave marker stone and the Dunn Bible, in the historical community of Hackneyville, Tallapoosa County.
Franklin Marion was only fifteen when the Civil War began with the bombardment of Fort Sumter on April 12-14, 1861. He may have subtracted two years from his date of birth to claim he was nineteen, instead of his actual seventeen years of age, at the time of his enlistment in 1863 as a private in Company I of the 8th Confederate Cavalry CSA.
He served until the surrender and was paroled at Hillsboro, North Carolina. Upon returning home after the Civil War, Franklin Marion met Emily Savannah Porter; and they were married on the 21st of December 1871 in Coosa County.
Franklin and Emily initially established residence on a family farm in the Mount Olive community of Coosa County near Emily's parents' home as reflected on the US Census of 1880. They eventually established permanent residence on a family farm in the historical community of Blue Springs in the northwest corner of the county. The general area around Blue Springs is called Marble Valley due to the Sylacauga marble quarried in the vicinity.
Franklin and Emily would have seven children.
