  1. 1.  Benjmain Knowlton was born in 1649 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts; died on 19 Aug 1690 in Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts; was buried in Springfield Cemetery, Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts.

    Notes:

    Benjamin fought in King Philip's War, stationed at the Springfield Garrison, and married Hannah Merrick about 2 months after his tour was up. Since they ended up in Springfield, some distance from Ipswich, one could infer that they met when he was away on military duty-- but she was from Newbury, also in Essex County, and that's where they were married in 1676. He must've seen an opportunity for westward migration, returned to marry and gather up his belongings, and settle on more undeveloped ground. He took the Freeman oath in Springfield in 1678 and was given a land grant in 1684.

    Benjmain married Hannah Merrick in 1676. Hannah (daughter of Thomas Merrick and Sarah Stebbins) was born on 10 Feb 1649 in Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
