I'm sorry to correct you,but her name is jane not june. She was the daughter of
Joseph and Martha Herd(or Heard).I'm a descendent of Isaac Newton Franklin.
Thank you for catching my error, Brian. I do have her name as Jane in my genealogy records and have corrected the posting to Jane.
I don't know if you're a fan of the "Little House on the Prairie" books, but Margaret Francis Pettit and Walter Bell Garland were the parents of Oscar Edmund, also known as "Cap", who was one of Laura Ingalls' classmates, and is mentioned in several of the books.
