Benjamin was born about 1740,[1].[2] He was the son of Ebenezer and Mary (Lord) Hilton.[3]
On 14 Jul 1766 he married Susan Harnden,[1][4] daughter of Samuel and Mary (Ager) Harnden. The couple would have six children during their 35 years of marriage.[2][5]
Benjamin passed away 7 Mar 1802[4] in Starks, ME. He is buried in the Hilton family cemetery in Starks, ME.,[2] alongside his wife and among several of his children and their spouses.[4]
Some discrepancy exists in the records where his DOB is listed. The gedcom file that was imported to establish this profile stated "Nov 1740", stating as a source (if correctly interpreted), an Ancestry tree but not the primary source. Find a Grave shows a picture of his grave marker which appears to show DOD and age at death. They then show the DOB simply as "1738" with no further sourcing.
The only documented source located thus far is the Cemetery record from his family cemetery.[4] It states the DOD as 7 Mar 1802, age "62". Because the month (Mar) is so early in the year, the odds are 4:1 that the DOB was 1739.
The same cemetery record[4] has a hand-written note, also sited on the Find a Grave memorial page, that states that (presumably the grave marker itself) something was "erected by their grandchildren July 14, 1866 being the 100th anniversary of their marriage.' From this note we have deduced that the specific day was the anniversary, not just the year.
