John Frankin, brother of Ben, the inventor
It has been said that in Benjamin Franklins Autobography, he states that his brother John and his wife, Mary Goochwent to Rd Island to start a business. I reread this part of Bens Autobiography and it makes no mention of the name of brother Johns wife or the year that John was born. Perhaps it makes mintion of it in another part of the book, I surly hope so because a lot of researchers may have been misinformed. If anyone has any first hand knowledge of this, I would like to know what chapter and page number it can be found on. I would caution everyone to verify all information they get from the net. Just because it is on the internet does not mean that it is correct. It seems a lot of people would like to be close kin to Benjamin Franklin, the inventor and do not verify their information before posting. I would like very much to be closely related but not at the expense of truth.
