Roots in Franklin County

The following well-known people can trace their families back to Franklin County, additions are always welcome:

Adam Clayton Powell,  Congressman from New York

Jesse L. Martin
appears on the series "Law & Order"

Samuel Clemens - Mark Twain

Lyndon Baines Johnson, President of the United States

Questionable - but found in the Court Order Books -

George III, Lessee of John James, Plaintiff vs. Napoleon Buonaparte

and in the 1880 Census we find 3 concubines and 3 paramours.

This census-taker had very strong opinions and also used the word "prostitute"

at least twice.

It is rumored a tombstone actually contains the word "concubine", but I haven't ever seen it.
