I am writing this note in response to Patty' response to my inquiry. I think we are all in agreement that the Benjamin in question married twice (Elizabeth Hill and Phebe LKU). I am assuming that most of the younger children mentioned in Benjamin's will were from his second marriage to Phebe. If possible, I would appreciate a list of the children from this second marriage. If my recollection is correct, one of these children died in Jefferson, NY, just to the north of the Oswego area. Thanks!! Paul P.S. I also find it interesting that this same Benjamin (1722-1789) was listed in the DAR Patriot index as having served as a private on the RI line. However, I can find no such reference for Oliver.
