Hi
My name is Renee Franks Heath.I'm trying to trace the family of Andrew H. Franks b. 1780 d abt aft 1860.Andrew came to Craven Co NC from Spain bef 1820.He married Patsey Dixon in Craven Co.NC 13 Nov 1829.I believe Andrew had a first wife whom I think he brought with him from Spain.I have not been able to find any record of her name.I found a William Franks b.1811 who married Betsey Gardner 27 Mar 1834 in Craven Co NC who I believe may be a son of Andrew and his first wife.Also there are two other children who are too old to be Patsy's children.
Andrew and Patsey had the following children.
Joseph B. Franks b.May 1832 d. bef 1910.
Nahab Franks b.1837
Mary Franks b. 1839
Barzilla Franks b. 1845 d. 1921
Andrew Franks b.1843
Anise Franks b.1842
Joseph m. Mary Margaret Paul 31 Dec 1853 in Craven Co NC
and moved to Bladen Co.NC
Barzilla married a Lathinghouse then married Ephraim Simpkins 27 Oct 1865.I believe Barzilla's first husband may have died in the Civil War.If you are related to any of these people would love to hear from you.Contact me direct at

Thanks Renee Heath
