Not sure about Ben Franklin, but Southern Partisan magazine made a case that George Washington spoke with a Southern drawl, y'all.

I'm certain he had the same accent as his contemporary fellow-Virginians, but isn't Virginia too far north to have a drawl spoken there?

When I was down in the Norfolk-Williamsburg area in Eastern Virginia, I certainly heard the Southern accent.

Good point. There would be aspects of what we now call a "Southern drawl" and of British English, but trying to get at the sound of it would be difficult. Chesapeake accents were quite different from what we now call a Southern accent.
