Notes - He is one of the first of the numerous descendants of the patriarchRichard, who is known, as far as we have definite knowledge, to have leftthe land of his fathers for a home in a strange and untried country, allof whom for more than one hundred years, had lived, thrived and died uponthe original homestead; and strange to relate, not a stone has yet beendiscovered to mark the resting place of any who had fallen asleep, inthat most interesting locality. The first ancient stones that thecompiler has yet found, were erected to the memory of a portion ofBenjamin's family, in the burial ground at Bedford, Massachusetts,adjoining the church there.
He ceased to be taxed in Salem in 1734, and it is quite probable heremoved to Bedford some time during that year. He and his wife weremembers of the church, and Nov. 27, 1737, they received letters ofdismission to the ch. in Bedford. Benjamin had large possessions atSalem Village, and after the decease of his father, he bought of all hisheirs their rights in the estate left them by inheritance, except that ofhis brother Jonathan, who was then under age. All of this property heshortly after disposed of prior to his removal, selling his homestead toJoshua Goodale, for Ð300, Dec. 20, 1733, reserving, however, one-half ofhis part in the cider mill. In addition to his agricultural pursuits, heappears, from the Registry of Deeds, to have followed the employent of acooper.
