Allyson Jamison | 170 comments Hi, y'all! Sorry, I forgot I had done a quiz!! πŸ€¦πŸ˜‚ Hmm, I didn't think about other authors qualifying for this question as well. πŸ€” Sorry, Pammy, though I'm sure that person is correct as well, it's not the person I had in mind. πŸ€ͺ But, Dorry, it's a male.

I forgot to say that Herman Melville's grandfather was Thomas Melville. I don't remember if that was required as part of the answer.

Pamela | 2209 comments Okay~Here's my quiz question:

This author invented something for which they received a U.S. Patent. The invention was not well received by the public at the time, but it eventually became a standard item and is still being used today. Name the author and the invention.

Allyson Jamison | 170 comments Humph. I was going to say Thomas Edison, turns out he's not New England, then I was going to say Benjamin Franklin - and I really thought I was right!! - but it turns out he never got any of his inventions patented!! Pammy Jo you may have stumped me!!! 🀦

But I don't know the invention! Miss Pammy, would it be considered cheating to look up his life?
