• Notes

  Benjamin accumulated considerable property and was prominent in Mendon. He lived on a large farm which is now located in the town of Blackstone, Massachusetts, on the North Road, about three miles east of Millville, Massachusetts. As of 1913, it was known as the Blackstone Poor Farm. Benjamin made his will November 28, 1770, mentioning his wife, Susanna, his sons Benjamin, Joseph, Ebenezer, Peter and Thomas; the heirs of his deceased son Samuel; and his daughters Deborah Wheelock, Hannah Battles, Abigail Inman, Elizabeth Meadberry and Anna Darling. The will was probated May 22, 1772. Benjamin died May 18, 1772. The tombstone that marks his grave has been broken and reset and only shows his date of death. There is a space for two graves between his and his son Thomas' grave. These are probably the burials of his first wife, Mehitable and his second wife, Susanna.
