William Benjamin

A document has been located, showing the burial of a William Benjamin on Sept. 6th, 1893, 66 years old. The timeline indicates that this could be William's burial. The age-at-death information indicates that he was born circa 1827. If this is him, he would have been 21 years old when he married Elizabeth Payne in 1848 at Zion Moravian Chapel. In the lists of British slave holdings in St. Kitts, a record exists which shows that William Benjamin was born on Golden Rock Estate in 1827. The record was from 1830, showing him as three years old, hence the 1827 birth year. Since he was buried in September 1893 at 66 years old, in reality he could have been born anytime between October 1826 and September 1827. Since the longest timeline is in 1827(9 mths), he was most likely born in 1827. He will be listed as circa 1827 until more information comes to light.
