Jasper Franklin married Polly Brockman 27 October 1796 Amherst County, Virginia.[1] By 7 August 1810, they had left Virginia and were living in Livingston County, Kentucky.[2] They are found in Crittenden County when that county was cut off from Livingston in 1842.

In 1842, Jasper's son, Angereau Franklin and his wife Lucinda, conveyed property on Hurricane Creek to Jasper Franklin. The deed, however, was to be null and void at the death or removal from the county by Jasper and wife.[3]

Jasper Franklin left a will in which he left property or money to the following children: Anthony, Angereau, Paulina, Anthony, Matilda, Lucinda and Calpurnia Franklin and left a colt to his grandson, Booker Franklin.[4]
