In 1769 Francis and George Evick surveyed 160 acres of land on the left bank of the South Branch. George appears to have lived across the river at the mouth of the Evick gap. It is on a portion of this tract that Franklin is built. The town is named after Francis Evick.
George Evick’s son Adam Evick lived in what is now known as the Evick Hollow near Grover Moore's. He manufactured the Evick Rifle which was a famous gun in its day.
