  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Robert Franklin, Sr.           b. Bef 1641             d. Bef 1681  (Age < 40 years)  (3 x Great Grandfather)  Elizabeth           b. Abt 1655, St. James Parish, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland   (3 x Great Grandmother)
  Notes	She was born 10 days before her father's death. JLSr. remembers meeting her in Baltimore when she was an old, and still handsome, lady. She was still living in 1902, according to receipts I have. Her portrait, with her husband, was painted by Hans Heinrich (or Henry) Bebie (d. 1888). This couple had no children, but they adopted Eleanor Freeland. According to Eleanor's letter dated Nov. 10, 1926, they were married in the parlor at Essex "over 70 years ago." It would seem that she died around 1902; there are receipts from 1903 which describe Eleanor their adopted daughter as the adminstrator of Dr. Robert's estate.
