John Read and Francis F Franklin
In December of 2005 to honor Franklin's 300th birthday a new brick path was added around the Franklin family grave site. In the construction of the new path a preserved gravestone for the Usher family was discovered beneath in the pathway. A plaque containing the inscription for Robert Usher and family was placed next to the new path. A marble surround was also added around the Franklin family grave site, containing the original inscriptions for John Read (Franklin's father in-law), Francis Franklin, and Emma Mary Bache.

Nearby is a tiny marker for Francis Franklin who died of small pox at age four. After "Frankie's" death, his grieving father urged Philadelphians to inoculate their children against this dread disease.
