In the codicil, George Peter left Benjamin Franklin’s wife Olivia, called “Leafy”, and children his share. Benjamin Franklin went into bankruptcy in Northumberland where he was in the mercantile business and ran an Opera House, so he could inherit nothing as his creditors would have seized his share.”
