Dee:My first post was in error.Ben Franklin did marry.In Familysearch.com, I found a reference to a book which describes the Read/Reed family.Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790,) m. Deborah Read Rodgers, widow of John Rodgers.Deborah died in 1744.Deborah and Benjamin had a son who died as a child and a daughter Sarah who married Richard Bache.There are probably genealogy records on Bache and Read/Reed.It says their descendants are in PA, NJ,etc.The birth of Ben's son William took place before his alliance with Mrs. Rodgers.
