so I have been doing some research on our founding fathers. We all have heard that Benjamin Franklin was a womanizer.... I wonder where it came from. While he did indeed have an illegitimate son before his (wife). He was a flirt, there is no proof or evidence that Benjamin Franklin had any affairs on his wife, partner, or whatever you would like to call her.(44 years without ever having a wedding ceremony). Look here, you will find some other interesting facts on him:

So before we go on believing everything we hear or see, even if it is in our schools, lets do some of our own research.((this is note to myself))
