Benjamin Franklin's son - William Franklin, the last Royal Governor of New Jersey - was arrested on this date in 1776. He is the son who helped his father with the elecricity and key experiment. He was a stouch loyalist though and of course Ben Franklin was a revolutionary. They had a serious falling out over the Revolution and never spoke again.
You can still tour the Royal Governor's Mansion where he was arrested in Perth Amboy at the Proprietary House.. It is the last Royal Governor's Mansion in the US. ...
