According to the link below at Rootsweb, the answer is no. Ben's grandson did not leave any descendants. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ffru/FamousBen/

I would have to say yes, though there is no legally traceable lineage. He was a known philanderer and contraceptive devices and practices at the time would most likely have resulted in any number of illegitimate offspring. This is, of course, speculation, but one not without warrant.

Well I'm his niece (throw in a couple of greats) but I don't think his direct line survived.

He may not have had any official descendents, but he was a fairly well renowned ladies man. I'm sure theres some little French kid out there with a little Franklin in him.

I have been told that I am a decendant of his is some way but it was illigitimate. We do have some old cross stitching and a painting of Ann Franklin but I am not sure how she is related to Ben. They called him one of the "Father's of our country" for a reason!

Yes, through his daughter Sarah Franklin who married Richare Bache.
