I remember somewhere, someplace I heard that ole Benny was quite the player. He was quoted about going to England on trips to parlay with George III that he’d always look forward to going out on London town to do what he called “a-whoring”.
I respected the guy even more after hearing that.

Why?
I think you are thinking of 1776, the musical. Beer and whores. Apparently Ben was fond of both.
Old Ben was quite the ladies man.
I remember reading about two, a mother and daughter, that Ben became involved with while he was in France trying to get help for our revolution. I can’t remember their names but I do remember they both kept up a lifelong association with him. Even after he returned from France for the last time the three were sending letters back and forth across the Atlantic.
