Notes |
- Benjamin, third son of Christopher and Mary Grant, was born September 6, 1641, in Watertown, was a weaver by trade, and resided in New London, Connecticut. While there he and his brother Joshua received a grant of land in Lyme, Connecticut, in 1663. He was living there in 1669, and died probably at sea in 1670. He married a daughter of Matthew Beckwith, who came from England, and was one of the pioneer settlers of Lyme. Bond says he was in Watertown in 1694, and had wife Priscilla, but this refers to his son.
