    Notes:

    Franklin is listed in the censuses as a farmer. In 1860, his farm is described in the non-population schedule.

    In 1880, Franklin is listed as a widower.

    Preliminary research on this line looks like it goes back to Plymouth in the early 1600s.

    Census:
    In the 1900 Census, he is listed as Single. Is that correct, or should it really say Widowed? There is no mother present in the house. Both he and his parents are listed as being from Massachusetts.

    Franklin married Almira Stetson on 10 Jan 1833 in Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Almira (daughter of Abel Stetson and Sarah Oldham) was born on 27 Mar 1806 in Pembroke, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; died on 9 Jan 1880 in South Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.

    Notes:

    Washington and Franklin were twins.

    Washington may have had a son Benjamin F who died at age 8 in 1845. I find death records that say he was the son of either Franklin or Washington. However, Franklin's son named Benjamin continues to be in the family household.

    Washington married Emily Bates on 9 May 1833 in Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Emily (daughter of Jane) was born in East Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    There is a death record in 1845 for a Benjamin Peterson, age 8, listed as son of Franklin. Another record says he could be the son of Washington. But, since this Benjamin appears in the same family as Franklin and the rest of the family in 1855, I really do not believe the 1845 Benjamin is this one.

    Military:
    On 24 Feb 1900, he applied for an invalid pension from the Civil War.
    Application Number 1244813, Certificate Number 1002830.

    On 8 Jan 1915, his widow applied for a Widow's pension as well.
    Application No. 1039558, Certificate No. 792981

    Census:
    They are next door to Benjamin's father in 1900. Benjamin's birth date is recorded as Oct 1836, but Maria's is Oct 1843. I believe hers, but all other records point to his in June.

    Benjamin married Maria Beers on 1 May 1867 in Easton, Northampton, Pennsylvania, United States. Maria (daughter of William Beers and Rebecca B.) was born in 1844 in Phillipsburg, Warren, New Jersey, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    So far, we have not yet found a death date for Sarah. She does not appear in the Massachusetts 1920 or 1930 census. Nor in the town records or death indexes. It seems unlikely that she moved away but we have not found a death record.

    There is a story in the Boston Globe about a Sarah Hooper, elderly (62 years), paralytic, who was being transported to the state hospital at Tewksbury and got stuck in a hearse for 8 hours. But, our Sarah Hooper is in Whitman in 1917-1920.

    Census:
    Sarah is enumerated in her father's home in 1900. There is a Benjamin F. Peterson next door who may be an older brother. She is listed as divorced and as having 3 children, all three of whom are still living. Sarah notes that she had three children, all of whom are still living in 1910.

    Census:
    In 1910, Sarah is living as a boarder. She reports that she is a widow and that 2 of her 3 children are living.

    Sarah married Amos W. Merrow on 13 Apr 1873 in Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States, and was divorced on 8 Aug 1877 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Amos (son of Seth Merrow and Phoebe) was born in 1849 in New Hampshire, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Sarah married Walter S. Hooper on 14 Mar 1878 in East Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States, and was divorced on 7 May 1891 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.
