(They had a daughter together and another son who died). But at least according to Isaacson, once Franklin had begun his common-law marriage with Deborah, while he still enjoyed the company of women and flirted with them, "there is no evidence of any serious sexual affair he had after his marriage to Deborah."<br /><br />Perhaps it depends on what the definition of "is" is?<br /><br />Anyway, as for the son, it seems that William settled in England after the Revolutionary War not because he hated his father, but because he was a Tory.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-22247247989519885722014-12-28T09:09:55.577-05:002014-12-28T09:09:55.577-05:00Like many influential and powerful people, Ben Fra...Like many influential and powerful people, Ben Franklin's life was full of contradictions.
