Notes - Benjamin lived on that part of the homestead he rec'd from his father bydeed of gift, containing 30 acres, bearing date Oct. 2, 1691. Heafterwards acquired a considerable real estate by purchase, contiguous tothe homestead, and owned a tract of 10 acres on the W. side of Ipswichriver, which was given by his father to his bro. Robert, June 3, 1708, ofwhom he bought it on Aug. 6, 1713, and sold it the next year to WalterSmith, for Ð20. Before his decease he had settled a snug little estateupon each of his remaining children, disposing of most of the remainderof deed of sale. While an infant he was adopted into the family of Dea.Nathaniel Ingersoll, his only child, a daughter, having died at an earlyage.
But little more is known of his personal history, and that through themedium of the witchcraft papers, deposited in the office of the Essex Co.Court, being at the time quite a youth, about 21 or 22 years of age, witha young wife, both of whom acted their part in this most singular drama,with an apparent air of sincerity, astonishing to all who may read orhear of these performances, the result of which was almost certainconviction of the innocent defendants, and an ignominious death.
