| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth rec found. Benjamin is identified in the will of his father, Joseph Bixby of Boxford, 11 Nov 1699, proved 6 Mar 1703/4, Essex Co. Probate, (o.s.) 308:170 (FHL #875125). Date of birth is an approximation. The family of Joseph Bixby lived in Ipswich from 1647 to 1661, when they moved to Rowley Village, now Boxford. It is highly likely that Benjamin was born at Ipswich.
MAR: Mar rec not found. Some of the children of Benjamin Bixby and his wife Mary were born in Topsfield, 1689-1702.
DEATH: No death rec found. However, Benjamin signed a deed on 5 Mar 1726/7, which the witnesses testified on 11 Jul 1727 was signed by Benjamin Bixby, "late of Topsfield deceased." Hence, Benjamin died between Mar and Jul 1727.
OCC: Husbandman, yeoman.
NOTE: It has been published that Benjamin probably had two wives named Mary. See Willard Goldwaite Bixby, THE GENEALOGY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH BIXBY (New York, 1914), 35-36 (FHL #1035524). However, the argument that a gap of nearly ten years existed between children is probably invalid, as the dau Mary was probably not the one baptized in 1707. A much older child who was likely born in the supposed gap. Joshua also fits into the supposed gap.
