- "A History of Franklin Co, Mississippi to 1861" by John William Hadskey. The Middleton's came from South Carolina to Mississippi in the early 1800's. They traveled in a party with the Herring's, May's and the Littleton Munday family. Stephen J. Middleton arrived in Franklin Co, Mississippi with 26 slaves. A Territorial Act of December 21, 1809 appointed John Spires, Richard Coleman, Dougal McLaughlin, Stephen Middleton and Samuel Ratcliff as a commission to purchase 25 acres of land for the town of Franklin, the county seat, and to contract with a qualified person to erect a court-house, a jail, stocks and pillory.
=========================
"A History of Franklin Co, Mississippi to 1861 " by John William Hadskey. It is not known which routes each of the settlers followed in their journey to Franklin Co., but the usual route at that time was to come from the east via the CUMBERLAND GAP and thence down the Natchez Trace, some were wealthy enough to pay boat transportation down the TN and MS Rivers, but most of these early settlers were of moderate or meager means, very few of them owning slaves or carriages. The Chaney brothers, Wm and Bailey E., were moderately wealthy exceptions. Nathaniel Kinnison and STEPHEN MIDDLETON each had some slaves before coming to Franklin Co".
