  Notes	He inherited Essex from his Aunt Elizabeth Battee; his picture was in the Parlor at Essex. He died later the same year that he inherited it, in 1822. He left Essex to his minor nephew, Samuel Franklin Jr, the son of Dr. Samuel Franklin. From the Maryland Gazette: "Frankling, Capt. Benjamin, died at his residence in A.A. Co., much regretted" (Jan. 2, 1823). Is this the same one? A Captain? (S208, p. 63). According to Marine, "Benjamin Franklin" was a "Private in Capt. Stile's Co., Marine Artillery." Maryland Gazette, 2 Jan. 1823: Franklin, Capt. Benjamin, died at his residence in A.A. Co., much regretted. [1, 2]
