Yes, Benjamin Franklin was known to have been carried in a sedan chair during his later years, especially when he was frail and could not walk long distances. Sedan chairs were enclosed chairs carried by two or more bearers, providing a means of transportation for the wealthy. Franklin used this mode of transport in Philadelphia and other cities, reflecting both his status and the conveniences available in his time.
