Free Research > V > Voss > Family StoryUse the free genealogy search to quickly discover your family history or share your own! Franklin Pierce Voss and his Ancestry
You may have already seen Franklin's grandparents pictures(Robert James Voss and Charlotte Mitchell)and their stories. If not...read that before you read this.
Franklin carries native blood from his grandmother Charlotte(read her story)...and his own mother Susanna Pennington(don't have pictures of her...she died young and he was only 5 years old). The Vosses, Penningtons and Sanders all got together in Lawrence Cty TN(near what is now Henryville, TN) in about the early 1800's(as did the Mitchells...covered in the previous story under Robert James Voss). Supposedly the Vosses and Sanders came from NC and the Penningtons GA. Just recently I was contacted by Joe Sitting Owl White, the Principal Chief of the Cherokee in Lawrence Cty, Tn...to use some of the research I had on the Penningtons(who were the primary family in this group of Cherokee who settled in TN). The Pennington line had two Cherokee women marry into it in succession...Mary Tuttle and Susanna Proctor. This means that Franklin's grandmother Charlotte and his mother Susanna both would have carried the blood...making him native on both sides. I also believed for a long time that his wife....Mary Adeline Ellis carried blood(check her features). So I began investigating the Ellis/Sanders/Luna/Looney lines. Go to that picture and story for more info.
