Wasn't Carolyn Keene just the penname for Mildred Benson?

She was the first but there were others. See Carolyn Keene for more information.

No, she was just one of the original employed writers by Stratemeyer. Franklin Dixon, Laura Lee Hope and others were house names for their series. Maybe one of their best writers.
Edward Stratemeyer or his wife may have written the first volume of some their series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratemeyer_Syndicate (may contain inaccuracies). Of course it was decades and post-internet that I discovered that Franklin Dixon, Carolyn Keene and Laura Lee Hope were not even pen names like Cordwainer Smith or John le Carré or Leslie Charteris, though Charteris, like Patterson, eventually employed ghost writers for The Saint. |

When I was a lot younger and I did read The Hardy Boys books, I had no idea that Franklin W. Dixon was just a name for a stable of authors.

At their peak, I was sure that Goosebumps' R.L. Stine was a house name. I was surprised to find he's a real person (who also wrote the novelization of Spaceballs!) and actually wrote all of those books.
