From the pastrues of Hampshire, England and castles of Bayern, Germany to the hills of North Carolina, the Franks and Hill families sought out new beginnings as they came to the Americas in the 1700s. They fought in every battle in their new home; the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Korean War and WWI andWW2. Amongst them was John Sevier, originally Xavier from France, his father and uncle stowed away on board a ship and came to the Americas before the Revolution. John Sevier became a leading member of the new westward movement and in 1784 petitioned Congress to create the State of Franklin out of property in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
