Biography
Benjamin was born in 1795 in Portland, Mass. He was the son of Thomas Simonton and Mary Alden. He resided in Dorchester, New Brunswick long enough to meet his wife. They then moved back to Mass about 1820. Their 15 children (plus 1 adopted) were all born in Mass/Maine except for Susan who was born in New Brunswick. The family moved from Maine to Illinois and finally to Iowa. He passed away in 1883 in Iowa. Their children settled in several states from Maine to Oregon and their grandchildren hit every corner of the United States.
