According to the birthdates on our Franklin family tree (which may be approximate) in 1790 Thomas Franklin had:
males 16 and over- 1 (himself)
males under 16- 2- Henry age 4, Thomas age 2
females- 1 (Jemima) or 2 (Elnora born 1790)
So- 1790- 1/2/1 or 2 females
none of the Thomas Franklin records match this

In 1800 Thomas Franklin had:
males 26-44- 1 (himself)
females 26-44 1 (Jemima)
males under 10- 2 (Wm P age 4, Ralph age 2)
males 10-15- 2 (Henry age 14, Thomas age 12)
males 16-25-0
females under 10  2 or 3 (Frances 8, Mary Rosa 5) possibly Elnora 10
females 10-15 possibly 1- Elnora age 10
females 16-25-0
So- 1800- 1/1/2 males under 10/2 males 10-15/0/2 females under 10 or 3/0 or 1
Again no match
