CIVIL WAR VETERAN - 2ND LT, CONFEDERACY
Anderson Green Franklin declared that he was born in Jackson County, South Carolina in 1823. Currently there is no county by that name in South Carolina; however, there is one in North Carolina. It is unknown when his family moved to Georgia, however, he was in Georgia by 1840. He was named for his grandparents, the Andersons and Greens. It is presumed that he met and married his wife, Elizabeth Jane Bryant, in her birth state of Georgia. They married in Cherokee County in 1849. By 1850, they were living in Union County, Georgia with her sister (listed as Sofrano Bryant on the census). Twenty-six year old Anderson was living next door to his parents, Abram and Elizabeth Franklin and his brother Elias.
Five of his twelve children had been born by 1861 and Anderson was appointed a Second Lieutenant in the Confederacy in the State of Georgia Militia during the Civil War . He was discharged in 1864.
By 1880, he and Jane were living in Pickens County. Anderson was 57, daughter Adaliga S. (Sophronia) was 16, son Anderson G. was 14, daughter Amanda was 11 and William was 8. His son Anderson (Jr.) recalled that once a year Anderson would go to the nearby city of Rome by horse and wagon where they would trade corn, cotton, tobacco or peanuts for sugar and other groceries. They drove a team of oxen to church.
A pension for his Confederate war service was granted and Anderson appears on the pensioner rolls. In 1900, he was 77 and Elizabeth J. was 73; both were living in Murray County, another county in northern Georgia. They were living with their daughter Lean (age 36) [this should have read Adalgia Sophronia] and daughter Amanda Adcox, (age 31) who had a four year old son Abraham. In 1908, Anderson Green Franklin submitted a claim of descendancy from an Indian ancestor: his great-grandfather, Gardner Green. He declared that he was guardian of his grandson, Abraham Adcox, at that time.
By 1910, Anderson had probably been widowed as he is enumerated with his grandson, Sam Reese, in Gordon County. He appeared on the pension rolls until 1911; his youngest child (William E.) collected his payments for him. No record exists as to his actual date of death; it would have occurred in 1911 as there were no further payments after that year.
No gravesite has been located for either Anderson or his wife; however, cousins believe she was buried in Reeves Station, North Carolina in an unmarked grave and he probably was buried next to her. [bio by descendant Margie (Allred) von Marenholtz]
