Biography

History of the Kimball family in America, from 1634 to 1897, #92, page 91-92. Archive.Org

92 Benjamin KimbalP (Jonathan^ Benjamin^, Richard^) born in Bradford. Mass., May IG, 1697; died Aug. 5, 1741; married Mary Emerson, born March 21, 1696. She was the daughter of Joseph Emerson and Martha (Toothaker) Emerson, and grand-daughter of Robert Emerson and Ann (Grant) Emerson. He lived in the northern part of Haverhill, Mass. When the line was run between the two provinces his property fell into New Hampshire, and was in the town now known as Hampstead. On some old records widow Mary Kimball is mentioned as being north of the line in 1742. Benjamin and Mary were members of the church in Plaistow or North Haver- hill in Nov., 1730. He was the first deacon of the church in Plaistow, being elected Feb. 3, 1731. He owned land in Ches- ter, N. H., which he left to his son Moses. It is said that he married at the age of eisfhteen and went north of the river, three miles into the woods, to clear his farm, and his mother was very much distressed at the great danger he ran from the Indians. The date of his death is erroneously given on the monument erected to his memory in Plaistow graveyard as 1752.
