Biography

Benjamin Kimball was born in 1696.[citation needed]

Benjamin removed to Craven County, South Carolina, perhaps about 1761, when he obtained 150 acres of land there, but certainly by 2 June 1763.

1761 May 6 - Kimball, Benjamin, Memorial For 150 Acres On Lynches Creek, Craven County, Originally Part Of A 300 Acre Tract, Summarizing A Chain Of Title To A Grant To William Cattell Of Feb. 13, 1753. Date: 5/6/1761. People in this record: Cattell, William; Smart, James.[1]

Benjamin died before 4 Februrary 1786, presumably in Camden District, South Carolina.

Disputed Origins & Uncertain Family

By tradition, Joseph Kimball is recognized by many southern Kimball/Kimbrell genealogists as the progenitor of the Southern branch of Kimballs, Kimbels, Kimbells, Kimbrells, Kimbriels, Kimbroughs, etc., who migrated from Virginia throughout the Southern States in the period 1700 to 1850, and beyond.

However, Joseph's origins and family are not proven. By tradition, Joseph had five sons:

  1. Charles Kimball (abt.1685-1795), m. Alice Moore.
  2. Benjamin Kimball Sr. (abt.1696-bef.1786), m. Elizabeth Moore.
  3. Joseph Kimball Sr. (1698-aft.1776), m. Sarah Hicks.
  4. William Kimball (bef.1701-aft.1762), marriage unknown.
  5. Peter Kimball (1706-1774), m. Winifred Gilliam.

Children

Based on his Will (see below), Benjamin is known to have had the following children:

  1. Elizabeth, b. abt. 1739, NC, m. Samuel O'Bannon.
  2. Frederick, b: 1746, Granville Co., NC, m. Sarah McDonald.
  3. Benjamin, b. abt. 1748, Prince Frederick Parish, SC.

Conflated

This Benjamin A. Kimball (abt.1696-1786) may be conflated with:

Name

He was previously listed with an unsourced middle initial of A. He is repeatedly listed in records with his first name abbreviated Benj'a., perhaps the source of the middle initial.

Disputed Origins

He is claimed by some to be the son of Joseph Kimball and Frances Simmons.

Birth and Death Dates

Establishing accurate birth and death dates for each of the Kimballs of early Virginia is important to deconflate those sharing the same name and confirm relationships. Benjamin's listed birth year of 1696 is unsourced. An alternate date of bef. 28 Sep 1707 is an estimate based on this statement:

"Benjamin Kimball of Brunswick County, Virginia, was granted 520 acres, in Brunswick County, Virginia, on the north side of the Maherin River. The land is adjacent to land owned by James Baker, William Kimball, Nathaniel Harrison."

Probate

Struggling to find the ACTUAL documents in the Camden, Kershaw records; abstracts lacking some needed details:

  • 1785-1786 - Deathdate: Died in 1785/6 in Henry Hampton Ord. Camden County, SC. Benjamin wrote his will in 1781, but it was filed on 4 Feb 1786.
  • Also this prior edit (18 Jan 2022): "… Proved by Maj. Thomas Thompson 28 Sept 1782. before Robt Patton. Letter from Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, 30 Apr 1785, taking the oath of Maj. Thomas Thomson. Sworn before John Marshal, JP for Lancaster Co., 4 Feb1786. Fredk. Kimball sworn 8 May 1786 Warrant of appraisement, 15 Apr. 1786, to William Welch, Jacob Gray, Sherrod Gray, Edward Narramore, and William Jones."

Thanks, Teresa. We do need to figure out which was son of Joseph (if either of them were). But they can't both be son of Joseph.

I agree that the two records are not the same person, but the name and parentage is probably wrong for #665. This is the Benjamin Kimball my family researchers call Ben, Sr. (Don't let the will of Ben who died in So. Carolina mix you up, because he also calls himself Ben, Sr. in that will.) My family researchers call Ben A. who died in So. Carolina Ben, the Elder, to distinguish the two. It appears that Ben, the Elder may have had three wives over the course of his lifetime: Elizabeth, as shown in #4065, Lucy Shearin and possibly a Mary (last name unknown). Children of Ben, the Elder (#4065) appear to be correct since they come from his will.

Ben, Sr. (#665) was most probably the son of William Kimball (# 93) and thus the nephew of Benjamin Ansel Kimball (#4065). (This may be why Ben, the Elder called himself "Sr." in his will.) Not sure what Ben, Sr.'s middle name/initial may have been. Wife of #665 was Mary Ransom (hence the name of his son Ransom Kimball) rather than Lucy Shearin. Lucy was a wife of Benjamin Ansel (#4065) as noted above. BTW, #93 shows William Kimball's wife as Mary Ransom. As noted, Mary was his son, Ben Sr.'s wife. William's wife was unknown as far as my family researchers were able to uncover.

Children of #665 as listed appear to be correct. However, again we don't know what the middle name/initial of his son Ben, Jr. may have been. Ben, Sr. (ca. 1730 - ca. 1794) did indeed die in Warren Co., NC and that is his will posted on the # 665 record. His son Ben, Jr., born ca. 1755, left NC late in life to join his sons out west and died at Hempstead, Ark. on Aug 23, 1837.

Hope this helps.
