  • Notes 
    • About 1770, Benjamin moved his family to Hancock County. In 1798, he and his family lived in Sedgwick, which at its incorporation as a town, in 1789, included the present towns of Sedgwich, apart of the town of Brooksville, and Brooklin.
      In 1797, Benjamin gave some land (on the neck) to the town of Blue Hill to be used as a burying ground, and in return he received a vote of thanks.
      They had 11 children.
