Biography

Benjamin Hix/Hicks was born about 25 January 1708 in Portsmouth, Massachusetts, to parents Ephraim Hix/Hicks and Sarah Kingsley. He married Anna Ormsby on 01 December 1733 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and the couple went on to have eight children:

  • Israel Hicks 1734–1813
  • Aaron Hicks 1736–1808
  • Joanna Hicks 1741–1832
  • Benjamin Hicks/Hix 1745–1792
  • Anna Hicks 1747–
  • Jabez Hicks 1749–
  • Betty Hicks 1750–1823
  • Mehitable Hicks 1750–1834

Some records show that he lived in Rehoboth, Massachusetts at the time of the 1790 census, but that was his son, also named Benjamin Hix/Hicks. By this time the Benjamin of this profile was probably living in Connecticut.
