  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Robert Franklin, Sr.           b. Bef 1641             d. Bef 1681  (Age < 40 years)  (3 x Great Grandfather)  Elizabeth           b. Abt 1655, St. James Parish, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland   (3 x Great Grandmother)
  Notes	She and her husband Thomas Jacobs are first cousins; their common grandparents are Anne Battee and Jacob Franklin Jr. The Franklin Account book gives her death as April 10, 1859. Carol Holliday says that the date is 1854. I've also seen 1851, which seems to be a confusion with Franklin's first wife. 1854 is on the only one that makes sense. She died in childbirth; her daughter Eliza had a twin who died at one month. [4, 5]
