Militia.  At Ticonderoga, NY, Dec 16,1776.  78 days
service.  Sick in Camp.  His brother David was in the same
company.  On Mar. 16, 1764, he was m. to Lillis Mason by Elder

751 BENJAMIN6 FISH (Daniel5, John4, Thomas3, Alice2, John1),

private in Capt. James Briggs' Co., Col. Freeman's Regt.;
Marched Oct. 2, 1777, from Dighton on a secret expedition to

  It is supposed that he owned a farm in New Ashford, Mass.,
and that his father, Daniel5, died there while on a visit.  According
to the census of 1790 Benjamin was living in Rehoboth, but
he could have moved there from New Ashford following the
death of his father.  However, the author has found no record of
him in New Ashford, nor of the death of Daniel5 there, though
his son Isaac6 did live there and was there in 1790.
