This profile seems to be a confusion of two different Benjamins -- Benjamin Hill who lived in Kittery and married Mary (not Sarah) Neal and had children just with Mary Neal -- and Benjamin Hall (not Hill) who lived in Barrington, New Hampshire and married Frances Willey.

The Find a Grave information is confabulated and should not be relied on for this profile (unless it gets straightened out).
