Benjamin was born about 1770. He passed away about 1810.
Research
There are at least two Benjamin Faulkners in the area at this time and they are said to be cousins. The sources on family search are jumbled as it appears that someone merged the two Benjamins. The Benjamin here died in 1810 and married Susannah Blaine. The other Benjamin died in 1845 and apparently married Jane. I am speaking with the other genealogists in my family to see what they know so that we can add more information.

I was digging into this today and saw the messiness on Family Search. It looks like someone has merged the two Benjamins. I'm talking to my aunt and my cousin to see what they can contribute.
