Question: Did Benjamin Franklin have a good relationship with his father, Josiah Franklin!?
I know he was estranged from his brother and from his son, William, but what was his relationship with his father like!? After he left Boston and moved to Philadelphia, did he keep in touch!? Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I have never read anything relating to Franklin's relationship with his family after he ran away from Boston!. I would think the lack of information might be telling as an indicator that there was no further contact!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
