Notes -
Strange to tell, but in the three reputable databases where Thomas
Franklin is shown with parents, the father is consistently shown as Henry
Cock and the mother as an unknown Sarah. In all of the other databases
containing information on Thomas Franklin his parents are not shown.
Possibly he was adopted, or issue from an earlier marriage of the unknown
Sarah.
Because those three databases are well documented and the compilers
were circumspect in what they entered, I am going to enter that
information here.

After much soul-searching I have reached the conclusion that Sarah
had to have had a prior marriage to a Mr. Franklin and I have made that
entry. It may well not be the correct answer, but it puts my mind more at
ease.

Here is a little light on the parentage of Thomas Franklin:
Thomas Franklin and Mary Pearsall resided at Rye and Northcastle in
Westchester Co., NY according to Davis, Norman "Westchester Patriarchs..."
"Thomas was cited as 'cousin Thomas son of Henry Franklin late of
Greenwich' in will of Josiah Cook (Cock] of Northcastle, proved 1766."
The appropriate information will be entered.
