Biography

"Benjamin Smith came to Kennebunk in 1797, when he was but twenty years old. Here he satisfied himself that a bakery was essential to the demands of the day.... he immediately got up such an establishment and carried it on several years, when he abandoned it for trade and mercantile pursuit on a larger scale... [Mr. Smith] left to his children an estate exceeding that of any one who had previously deceased. He died March 22, 1834, aged 57. He was married, in 1799, to Sarah, daughter of Richard Gillpatrick. She died June 22, 1812, aged 31. His second wife was Dorothy C. Dutch, who died June 22, 1856, aged 71. He had the following children: Elizabeth, Dorothy, Joseph, Francis, Benjamin, and Susan." ^[1]
