Benjamin Leach

Hephzibah Washburn, probably eldest daughter of (Joseph3 Washburn, (43) John2 (5th), (28) John1 (4th); born in Bridgewater, Plymouth Colony, ca. 1681, married Benjamin3 Leach, Esq., son of Giles2 and Anne (Nokes) Leach, of West Bridgewater,[43] on 8 Sept. 1702 in Bridgewater.[44] He was supposedly a grandson of Lawrence1 and Elizabeth Leach, of Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony.

On 31 Dec. 1702 Giles Leach deeded land to his “youngest son Benjamin Leach.”

Hephzibah (Washburn) Leach died on 4 Apr. 1750 in Bridgewater,[46] and Benjamin Leach, Esq., died on 13 July 1764 in Bridgewater,[47] but no probate records were found for either of them in Plymouth County.
