Now with a little looking I think this might be worth some additional
research. No genealogy connection but an interesting coincidence.

From wiki.........
*Benjamin Franklin* (January 17
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_17>;, 1706
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1706>; [O.S.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates>; January 6
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6>;, 1705
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1705>;] – April 17
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_17>;, 1790
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1790>;)
Franklin's father, Josiah Franklin, was born at Ecton, Northamptonshire,
England on December 23, 1657, the son of Thomas Franklin, a blacksmith
and farmer, and Jane White.
