This is incorrect...Franklin was never a state, it was a territory that made of present day Kentucky. When it initially applied for statehood, it's request was under the name Franklin but later changed to the latter prior to becoming an official state.

Franklin was never a state. This is wrong... in fact... tennessee did not become a state until mid 1800s... so all points of this are wrong.
