Dorothy Benton was born about 1662; the daughter of Andrew Benton and his first wife Hannah, daughter of George Stocking of Hartford. She was probably born in Hartford since that is where her parents and siblings resided at that time.[1]
Her mother probably died in 1672. Her father married (2nd) in 1673 to Anne, the daughter of John Cole. He died July 31, 1683.[1]
Dorothy is one of the children listed in the distribution of her father's estate, December 18, 1683 and March 24, 1689. These distribution records are the only records in which Dorothy's name is found.[1]
