Benjamin Beach

June 2023

Benjamin Beach was born in New Haven, CT on 3 Oct 1644. (1) Based on the date of birth of his first child, he probably married Mary Peacock around 1671. Mary Peacock's father died around 1670 and in (1678?) her sister, Phebe Peacock, conveyed land to her brother-in-law, Benjamin Beach. (2) Mary Peacock must have died about the same time as that transaction because Benjamin Beach married Sarah Wells on 1 Feb 1677. (3) Benjamin Beach had three children with Mary Peacock and another three with Sarah Wells and then she must have died because Benjamin Beach married for the third time on 5 Dec 1705 to Mary Wheeler, widow of Samuel Fairchild. (4)
Benjamin Beach died in Stratford, Fairfield, CT on 9 Apr 1713.  (5) An agreement to the distribution to his estate was made on 27 May 1713 naming his wife, Mary, and his son Benjamin Beach.  Three of his sons-in-law were also named: Josiah Curtiss, Edmund Lewis and John Grover.  (6)
