Have you ever heard of the state of Franklin?
It was SO close to becoming a state. It was a corner of the Carolinas, Virginia, IIRC. A war came along (1812?) and disrupted the plans. I have birth records of a couple ancesters with their place of birth as State of Franklin.

State of Franklin. It existed for a few years between the Revolution and the adoption of the Constitution in what is now Eastern Tennessee.
