their household. In addition, they had two children together. The first, Francis Folger Franklin, born October xxxx, died of smallpox in xxxx. Their second child, Sarah Franklin, familiarly called Sally, was born in xxxx. She eventually married Richard Bache, had seven children, and cared for her father in his old age. Deborah's fear of the sea meant that she never accompanied Franklin on any of his extended trips to Europe, despite his repeated requests. She wrote to him in November xxxx saying she was ill due to "dissatisfied distress" from his prolonged absence, but he did not return until his business was done.[17] Deborah Read Franklin died of a stroke in xxxx, while Franklin was on an extended mission to England; he returned in xxxx. Illegitimate son William William Franklin In xxxx, at the age of 24, Franklin publicly acknowledged an illegitimate son named William, and raised him in his household. His mother's identity is not known.[18] He was educated in Philadelphia. Beginning at about age 30, William studied law in London in the early xxxxs. He fathered an illegitimate son, William Temple Franklin, born February 22, xxxx. The boy's mother was never identified, and he was placed in foster care. Franklin later that year married Elizabeth Downes, daughter of a planter from Barbados. After William passed the bar, his father helped him gain an appointment in xxxx as the last Royal Governor of New Jersey. A Loyalist, William and his father eventually broke relations over their differences about the American Revolutionary War. The elder Franklin could never accept William's position. Deposed in xxxx by the revolutionary government of New Jersey and imprisoned for a time, the younger Franklin went to New York in xxxx, which was still occupied by British troops. He became leader of the Board of Associated Loyalists--a quasi-military organization, headquartered in New York City. They initiated guerrilla forays into New Jersey, southern Connecticut, and New York counties north of the city.[19] When British troops evacuated from New York, William Franklin left with them and sailed to England. He settled in London, never to return to North America. In the preliminary peace talks in xxxx with Britain, "...Benjamin Franklin insisted that loyalists who had borne arms against the United States would be excluded from this plea (that they be given a general pardon). He was undoubtedly thinking of William Franklin."[20] William Temple Franklin, painted by John Trumbull (xxxx-xxxx). Benjamin Franklin found out about Temple (as he called him), his only patrilineal grandson, on his second mission to England. He got to know the boy and became fond of him, arranging for his education. He never told his wife Deborah about him.[21] Franklin gained custody and brought Temple with him upon return to Philadelphia in xxxx. Deborah had died the year before. Franklin brought up Temple within his household. Beginning at age 16, Temple Franklin served as secretary to his grandfather during his mission to Paris during the Revolutionary War. Although he returned to the United States with his grandfather in the xxxxs, he could not find an appointment. He returned to Europe, living for a time in England and then in France. He died in Paris in xxxx and was buried in Père-Lachaise Cemetery. Success as an author In xxxx, Franklin began to publish the famous Poor Richard's Almanack (with content both original and borrowed) under the pseudonym Richard Saunders, on which much of his popular reputation is based. Franklin frequently wrote under pseudonyms. Although it was no secret that Franklin was the author, his Richard Saunders character repeatedly denied it. "Poor Richard's Proverbs," adages from this almanac, such as "A penny saved is twopence dear" (often misquoted as "A penny saved is a penny earned") and "Fish and visitors stink in three days" remain common quotations in the modern world. Wisdom in folk society meant the ability to provide an apt adage for any occasion, and Franklin's readers became well prepared. He sold about ten thousand copies per year (a circulation equivalent to nearly three million today).[11] In xxxx, the year he ceased writing for the Almanack, he printed Father Abraham Sermon, also known as The Way to Wealth. Franklin's autobiography, begun in xxxx but published after his death, has become one of the classics of the genre. Daylight saving time (DST) is often erroneously attributed to a xxxx satire that Franklin published anonymously.[22] Modern DST was first proposed by George Vernon Hudson in xxxx.[23] Inventions and scientific inquiries Further information: Social contributions and studies (Benjamin Franklin) Glass Armonica Franklin was a prodigious inventor. Among his many creations were the lightning rod, glass armonica (a glass instrument, not to be confused with the metal harmonica), Franklin stove, bifocal glasses and the flexible urinary catheter. Franklin never patented his inventions; in his autobiography he wrote, "... as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously."[24] His inventions also included social innovations, such as paying forward. Franklin's fascination with innovation could be viewed as altruistic; he wrote that his scientific works were to be used for increasing efficiency and human improvement. One such improvement was his effort to expedite news services through his printing presses.[25] Population studies Franklin had a major influence on the emerging science of demography, or population studi
