He married on Dec. 24, 1871 with the Rev. Father Gay, of the Episcopal Church, officiating, in her home in Tompkins Cove, Rockland Co., NY to Leah A. Tomlins, born July 1860 (Ft Wayne Public Lib.

Benjamin served in the Civil War as a Pvt. in Co. F, 1st NY Vol. Engineers. At enlistment, he was 5'5" in height, had light complexion, grey eyes, light hair and was a clerk. After the war, he lived in New York City and Brooklyn. He was enumerated with his family at 122 St. Felix Street in Brooklyn New York in 1900. Benjamin was born in August 1847 in New Jersey and a boatsman. Also in the household were his wife Leah, born July 1860 in NY; son Benjamin, born November 1874 in NY, a shipping clerk; son Percy, born October 1876 in NY, and employed in “transportation”; and son Myron, born January 1884, and a clerk. Percy is enumerated as having been married for three years, but there is no sign of a wife in the household. (1900 US Census, NY, Kings Co., New York, Bor. of Brooklyn, Ward 11, Dist. 2/154, Sheet 7B, 97/131)(Ft Wayne Public Lib. Genea.

      Benjamin made his will on July 23, 1915. A transcript is attached as an appendix. In it, he names his two living sons, Percy T and Myron D, and his daughter Jennie. The executor of his estate was his son-in-law, John B Harper, the husband of Jennie. The probate petition indicates Benjamin was still living at 122 St. Felix in Brooklyn at the time of his death.
