It also reviews Franklin families that are not related to Benjamin Franklin.In addition to the Franklins, the ancestries of the women who married into the family in England are examined for the first time: Anne Child, wife of Josiah Franklin; Jane White, wife of Thomas Franklin; Agnes Jones, wife of Henry Franklin; and Margery Meadows, wife of Thomas Franklin.

Book excerpt: This multi-volume set of books is concerned chiefly with the descendants of Samuel Franklin, son of John Franklin Sr. (1727-1819) of Burke County, North Carolina. John Franklin Sr. (1727-1819) was a Revolu- tionary War soldier, and the Franklin Clan believes he was also a great nephew of Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), the American statesman and philosopher who helped draft the Constitution. John Franklin Sr. (1727-1819) married Phebe Parker and had eleven children (five boys and six girls). His son, Samuel Franklin (d.1853), married Dorcas Burns, and had seven children (six boys and one girl). Descendants and relatives (and probably ancestors) lived in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and elsewhere. Includes some ancestors in England to the early 1500s.
Download or read book The Life Story of Benjamin Franklin written by Benjamin Franklin and published by Madison & Adams Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is a record of the life of one of the most impressive individuals in the American history. Franklin's autobiography, although unfinished, represents one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. His book is the record of an unusual life told in his own unexcelled conversational style. The Autobiography is Franklin's longest work, and yet it is only a fragment of it. The account of Franklin's life is divided in a manner that reflects the different periods in which he wrote them. The first part, written as a letter to his son, William Franklin, was not intended for publication; the composition is more informal and the narrative more personal than in the second part, from 1730 onward, which was written with a view to publication.

Download or read book Young Benjamin Franklin written by Nick Bunker and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new account of Franklin's early life, Pulitzer finalist Nick Bunker portrays him as a complex, driven young man who elbows his way to success. From his early career as a printer and journalist to his scientific work and his role as a founder of a new republic, Benjamin Franklin has always seemed the inevitable embodiment of American ingenuity. But in his youth he had to make his way through a harsh colonial world, where he fought many battles with his rivals, but also with his wayward emotions. Taking Franklin to the age of forty-one, when he made his first electrical discoveries, Bunker goes behind the legend to reveal the sources of his passion for knowledge. Always trying to balance virtue against ambition, Franklin emerges as a brilliant but flawed human being, made from the conflicts of an age of slavery as well as reason. With archival material from both sides of the Atlantic, we see Franklin in Boston, London, and Philadelphia as he develops his formula for greatness. A tale of science, politics, war, and religion, this is also a story about Franklin's forebears: the talented family of English craftsmen who produced America's favorite genius.
