Benjamin Cromwell Franklin was a lawyer legislator and the first judge in the Republic of Texas. Leaving his practice in Georgia Franklin moved to Texas to fight in its Texas Revolution. While serving as a private at the Battle of San Jacinto he was sent as a messenger afterward to inform President Burnet of the victory. He received a 320-acre land grant in compensation for his military serves and was one of the first settlers in what would become Houston. President Sam Houton appointed him to be a district judge and a member of the Republic's Supreme Court. He resigned in 1839 and moved to Galveston to once more practice law. He also served several terms as a state legislator before his death in 1873. It was as a private attorney that he made this request for assistance with an Ohio deposition.
