Benjamin Woodworth, son of Daniel and Mehitable, born Norwich, 9 December 1724 (Norwich VR); 11 July 1725 and may have died Montpelier, Vermont, or vicinity as he appears to be the one listed there in the 1800 Census; children Joseph and Ziba also listed in same vicinity.

He married his 1st wife at Groton, Connecticut before 1750 Susannah Street who was born in Groton on 19 December 1722, daughter of Nicholas and Jerusha Street.

He married his 2nd wife Elizabeth Simms. He may be the Benjamin who married Bozrah 4 May 1758 Elizabeth Simms.

At a meeting of the Governor and Committee of Safety held at Lebanon 28 May 1782, Benjamin presented a petition for assistance showing that two of his sons had been wounded at Groton Heights in defense of the fort and that he has been at much expense in nursing them. It is certain that one of those sons referred to was Azel and the other was no doubt Ziba who was wounded in the battle.

In 1790 was perhaps living at Hartford, Windsor County, Vermont with wife and no children.

Information on this family is uncertain. WAW in his book was able to locate only 9 children; however, another source states there were 19 children indicating that Benjamin most probably was married at least twice.
