Biography

There is no proof that Ben was the child of Edward and Esther, however, Ben III did name a daughter Esther, probably after his grandmother.

Ben was sued by the Kittery selectmen for mowing the fowling marsh in 1700 and he sued the selectmen in 1701. He had a grant in Dover in 1701. In 1708 he bought 20 acres and buildings near the Sligo garrison and the following week he bought 30 acres next door from Jethro Furber. In 1717 Ben Sr. gave land to Ben Jr. [1]
