    He was a freeman of the colony from Portsmouth on May 1, 1706 (Casey 55) and was possibly the Benjamin who was master mate of Sloop "Revenge" out of Newport (Joseph Jencks Smith, " Civil and Military List of Rhode Island, 1647-1800 (Providence 1900 2:691).

    Sometime between the births of Nathaniel and Lydia, Benjamin and family moved from Portsmouth to Dartmouth, Massachusetts, where he owned some of the former Alden land (Valentine 147).
