"The pioneers of what now constitutes Franklin township were John McCandless and Aaron Moore, who are said to have located lands here in 1795, before the colony of sixty settled in Centre township. In 1796 a branch of the Centre colony drew lots for the cabins built west of the line, and the same year James, George, William, and it is said Garrett Moore, sons of Aaron, came into the township as residents. At the same time Lewis Wilson, the two William McCandless, Robert McCandless,...(others)...all fellow colonists and all natives of Ireland, located here... One of the McCandless settlers was a tailor and afrmer, the other a distiller and farmer. Both were named William, and in order to distinguish between them the former was known as "Tailor Billy" and the latter as "Stiller Billy."
