Faulkner Family History

First Generation

We know that everyone has a starting point, but this is the first generation we were able to fine. I will leave it with my collaborators to help me find more since this is a rough sketch of our history.

As far as we have been able to unravel at this point, the Falkners of 1800 were in what is now Franklin Co., North Carolina, in a small village now called Alert of the Sandy Creek township.
