I have very fond memories from my childhood,such as going to church or working side by side with my father. Both of my parents were Puritans, and I was baptized at the old south meeting house. My parents didn't have much money so I only attended the Boston Latin school for two years. Then at the age of twelve I joined my Father in his business. After running away to Pennsylvania at the age of 17 a dabbled a bit in the printing business then I married Debora Read. We had three children our first son Francis died from smallpox and my daughter married and had 7 children. My son William chose to become a loyalist which I soon hope he changes his mind. My main interest has always been science leading me to experiment and write many books. But besides science I love knowledge I love to learn more I strongly believe that you can never learn enough. As I always say "Genius without education is like silver in the mine."
