On Milk Street, in Boston, opposite the Old South Church, lived Josiah Franklin, a maker of soap and candles. He had come to Boston with his wife about the year 1682 from the parish of Ecton, Northamptonshire, England, where his family had lived on a small freehold for about three hundred years. His English wife had died, leaving him seven children, and he had married a colonial girl, Abiah Folger, whose father, Peter Folger, was a man of some note in early Massachusetts. Josiah Franklin was fifty-one and his wife Abiah thirty-nine, when the first illustrious American inventor was born in their house on Milk Street,. | The Age of Invention A Chronicle of Mechanical Conquest 1 The Age of Invention A Chronicle of Mechanical Conquest Project Gutenberg s The Age of Invention by Holland Thompson Copyright laws are changing all over the world be sure to check the laws for your country before redistributing these files Please take a look at the important information in this header.
