Royal Governor of New Jersey, William Franklin, appeared in front of the New Jersey Legislature and urged the body to remain loyal to the Crown.
Governor Franklin was the acknowledged illegitimate son of Benjamin Franklin. It is not clear who his mother was, and he was raised by his father and his father's "common law wife" Deborah Read. He'd remain loyal to the Crown for the remainder of his life.
