The Benjamin Franklin Connection

I was going to do this some time ago but it's not an easy thing to figure the genealogy of the Franklins.  I decided to go ahead with it and call it a "work in progress."  That means that whatever I post at this time will likely be updated in the future. 

The common ancestors for Ruth Franklin and Benjamin Franklin are Thomas Franklin and Jane White.  I will give the line for Benjamin Franklin and then for Ruth Franklin.  I have left the dates off on purpose as that is not my purpose here.  I am just showing the connection.  I have also left off the dates as that is not my purpose here.  It looks like Ruth is a full cousin to Benjamin three times removed.
