His children were all born in the old stone mansion, built by his father, in 1802. It is one of the oldest dwellings in Blooming Grove, and it is still a very comfortable and venerable house. It, together with a good farm, was inherited by Benjamin, he being the only son; and here he lived until his death, which occurred on the 9th of Nov., 1874. He was a kind, unassuming man—always possessing a good moral character, and a few months before his death he made a public profession of Christianity, and became a member of the Blooming Grove Church. His wife early embraced Christianity, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church, of Wyalusing, Pa. She is now a member of the Blooming Grove Church, faithful and active in the work of the Church and Sabbath-school.
