this has a good map of the counties of Franklin 1786-1788

they were:
Sullivan, Spencer, Wayne, Washington, Greene, Caswell, Sevier, Blount. Spencer would today be most of Hawkins, and some of the surrounding counties. Wayne would be Johnson and Carter, today's Jefferson and Hamblen was in Caswell.....and so on.
