One of my ancestors actually fought with George Washington in the Revolutionary War.
He came from Prince Georges County Maryland and knew Ben Franklin... in fact they both had adds placed on the same day in the same paper.

My family name is Franklin but I dont know about a relationship or not. I do know Im related to Daniel Boone though, as we had our family tree traced on my mom's side.

Well it goes back quite a few greats, but my grandmother was Marguerite Mather, and it goes back from there. My mother's maiden name was Mather.... Increase Mather was a nut.
