  1. Her first husband, John Rogers, deserted her in 1725.

    In 1727, she heard of Rogers' death and began dating her former sweetheart, Ben Franklin.

    Married Benjamin Franklin in 1730, Operated a general store out of the front of Ben's print shop

      Raised Ben's son William as well as their own two children, Francis and Sarah

      Her fear of ocean voyages prevented her from traveling with Ben, so she spent many years alone in Philadelphia while Ben was in Europe.

      In 1774, while Ben was in England, she died unexpectedly of a stroke.


  2. on the floor rolling her eyes

  3. I don't know where she was or what she was doing but she died from a stroke. I would like to know what she was doing and where.
