Franklin County was formed on September 9, 1784 from Cumberland County. It was named in honor of Benjamin
Franklin. The county seat is Chambersburg.Franklin County is in South Central Pennsylvania. And a large part
of Franklin County lies within the Cumberland Valley.
From settlement of the frontier and the French and Indian War to the Underground Railroad and Civil War, American
history was written on the canvas of Franklin County. The influence of many distinguished people and well-known
events of Franklin County stretched beyond the county boundaries, contributing to the story that is America’s history.
“
The undersigned, in the following "Sketch," has not attempted to
give a complete History of our county. He has sought, chiefly, to
bring to notice those matters which have escaped the attention of
former writers. In doing this, his labors have been greatly augmented
by the loss of the Public Records of the county, and the
destruction of private papers, in the great fire of July 30th, 1864.
“He trusts, however, that he has brought together many things connected with the Past,
that cannot fail to interest the general reader ;
and in the Lists of Congressional, Judicial, and other Public Officers
of past times, he believes the people will find a Record both useful
and interesting.”
