Beat #5, Marion County, Alabama, USA; There were two listings in Marion County for this family, one in Beat 5 and one in District 14. The discrepancies are that in the age given for Lewis, one as 30 and one as 50. I believe the 50 to be correct. Both state that Lewis was born in North Carolina. One gives the female's name as Llysa and one as Disa - both age 60 and born in Ga. In the 1870 census, her name is given as Dicey, born in NC age 79. One gives a female, named Josie, aged 21, and one a male, named Joseph, aged 22. I believe that Joseph is correct as there is a J. C. Franks, male, age 40, living next to Lewis and Dicey. Both give a female named Matilda, age 22, however, one lists her surname as Cheeks and not Franks. The Beat 5 listing states: Lewis Franks SR, head of HH #59, age 50, farmer, real estate $250, born NC, cannot read or write, living with wife and two of his daughters.
