Benjamin Franklin -Any relations/cousins out there?

BTW... his mother was a FOLGER and a descendant started the coffee company.:)

I am a 10th cousin 9 times removed. :)

I am such a fan of Ben Franklin & his family. :)

There's a theory that William Franklin may in fact have been Debbie Read's child after all, based on a cryptic comment from Ben that "I righted a great wrong as best I could."

Also they met on his first day in Philadelphia (he had run away from home). He was covered in bread & looked ridiculous. :):). And then he, by chance, ended up boarding with her parents.

There is a terrific recent book about his sister Jane Mecom

I'm showing 9th cousin X 8

Through the Folgers

7th cousin 11 times removed through Folger as well.

@Arthur Wilkings: It looks like we are 14th cousins 6 times removed.

James William Franklin is not known to have descended from this line of Franklins.

I have Franklins in Alabama. They aren't related either.

The last of the Franklins ...

He is my 9th cousin 9 times removed, possibly.

9th cousin, 8 times removed through daughter Abiah

I mean his mother!

xth Cousin x times removed through Ben's aunt, Bethshua Folger Pope. She was one of the Salem witch accusers, as was her daughter....

My 9th Great Uncle through Josiah Franklin and Anne Child

he is my twelfth cousin eight times removed

He's the direct descendant of the brother of Isabella of Gloucester (my 23rd great grandmother). I guess that makes me related...?

I was always hoping someone would look into the Capt. Capel Hanbury, Esq family more. He married the last descendant of Ben Franklin, no children.

He is my 1st cousin 9x removed

Is there any male Josiah Franklin DNA line posted ? Or the mt DNA line of Abiah Folger?
