Birth
[FARNSWORTH], Benjamin, born 1667, married 1695, Mary Prescott, born February 3, 1674, daughter of Jones and Mary (Loker) Prescott. He died August 15, 1733-5.[1]
Most researchers have given Benjamin a birth date in November 1657. If that is correct, he is a twin to brother Joseph. Mary Farr is said to have had twins before her marriage to Mathias. This is something that needs to be sorted out.
Death
He died about 15 August 1733. His will was probated in 1733.[2]
"[FARNSWORTH], Benjamin, born 1667, married 1695, Mary Prescott, born February 3, 1674, daughter of Jonas and Mary (Loker) Prescott. He died August 15, 1733-5."[3]
Benjamin was born about 1655. He was the son of Matthias Farnsworth and Abigail UNKNOWN. He passed away in 1733.
Benjamin's birth year has been variously given as 1655, 1657, and 1667---in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts Bay or in Groton, Middlesex. Death date, however, seems well established.
