Franklin Township was not settled until 1824, two years after the organization of the county. In that year, James Gordon and William Elrod settled in that part of the county, being the first to make their way thither. They were joined the next year by Garrett Gibson and James Fiddler. In 1826 came David Barnes, Thomas House, David House, Joshua Burnett, William Giddons, John Miller, Samuel Osborne and Thomas Batman. The newcomers for 1827-28 were James Makemson, the Lafolletts, the Henkies, Mr. Brothers and Thomas Grider'. During the next year, John Dickerson, A. Asborn, Samuel and Issac Brown arrived, and were joined in 1830-31, by James Stephens, George Wright, the Catherwoods, Jesse Hymer, James G. Edwards, Phillip Carpenter, A. S. Farrow and others. The first habitation of the white man in the township was erected in the thirty-sixth section by the first white inhabitant, James Gordon. The first blacksmith’s forge that rang its peal in that neighborhood was put up and worked by 1828 by Philip Lemon. The first store was kept by Philip Carpenter, and was located south of the cite of Carpentersville in the year 1832. The first white child bom in the township was James Gordon, son of Anderson Gordon. The first school was taught by a man named Elliott in 1839, in the neighborhood of Fincastle. William Elrod was the first Justice of the Peace. Henry Rogers located here in 1832, and became the first practitioner of medicine in the township. The first church organization was effected by the Presbyterians, who at an early day held meetings at the house of George Pearcy, in Section 1, Monroe Township, but soon removed into a church on Section 36, in Franklin. This congregation was under the pastoral charge of Rev. James H. Shields. The Christian denomination next organized about the year 1827. Elders Combs, Haney, Harris and Grider were were among their first preachers. The Regular Baptists were organized in 1829, at James Fiddler's house, by Rev. Nathan Deeney. They did have a fair membership, who worshipped in a church-building in Section 21. For some cause the Methodists did not push their organization into Franklin as early as into other townships of the county. Carpentersville. situated near the southeast corner of the town hip on the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad, was laid out about the year 1840, by Philip Carpenter, who had been carrying on a tanyard there for several years prior to that time. Logan Sutherlin was the first merchant and a Mr. Bradford the first Blacksmith. William King taught the first school, and Dr. Cross was the first physician. The M. E. Church was the first organized, and the Presbyterian followed sonn afterward. Its trade, at first, was carried on by one store of general merchan' dise, one grocery store, one drug and hardware store combined, two blacksmith shops, one wagon-shop, one shoemaker’s shop, one sawmill and one hotel. Fincastle, located in the western part of this township, was laid out in the year 1838,

by John Obenchain. A store was soon opened by Allen Fierson, and a blacksmith shop by the Conner Brothers. The first school was taught by Wilson Turner who was also the first resident physician. R. L. Bridges had a good two-story frame business house in which he kept a large stock of general merchandise. There are in the place a blacksmith shop, a shoe shop and a livery-stable. The moral interests of the community are represented by two churches. The Universalist Church was organized by W.W. Curry in 1861, and an elegant brick structure was erected for their accommodation in the same year.
