Benjamin Franklinâs Early Years. Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in colonial Boston. His father, Josiah Franklin (1657-1745), a native of England, was a candle and soap maker who married twice and had 17 children. Franklinâs mother was Abiah Folger (1667-1752) of Nantucket, Massachusetts, Josiahâs second wife.
Confidence votes 21. It is not known who his mother was, but it has been speculated that it was Benjamin Franklin's wife, Deborah. The reason for covering this up would be the fact they were not married when William was born, and Ben wanted to take all of the blame, so as not to allow any dishonor to come to Deborah.
