Acknowledging that Find a Grave is not a primary source, the argument against Benjamin being born in Salem is pretty well made in this entry. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/31820156/benjamin-gould?_gl=1*1bah508*_ga*MTQyMzY2MjQ0NS4xNjYxMDIzNjM3*_ga_4QT8FMEX30*MTY2MTE4OTIwOC44LjEuMTY2MTE5NjU5Mi4wLjAuMA..
