Benjamin Franklin son of Lawrence Franklin Cir 1696
I came across and old petition filed in Spottsylvainia Co, VA 16, Mar 1736 by John Cleveland. This county a few years later became Orange Co.
John Cleveland is the overseer of a road to be constructed and so he is requesting the court to require assistance from Edward Franklin, Lawrence Franklin and his son Benjamin Franklin. I haven't come across a Benjamin being a son of Lawrence before until this old court petition.
Record show a Benjamin Franklin being born around 1720 and married Patience Sumpter who is the sister of General Sumter of SC.
Does anybody know anything about this Benjamin and his wife Patience? Any known kids from this marriage. It looks like she remarried around 1728.
