Benjamin Henshaw
  • Born: 12 Jan 1729, Boston MA
  • Marriage (1): Elizabeth Lord on 31 May 1753 in Middletown CT
  • Marriage (2): Huldah Stillman on 2 Jul 1761 in Middletown CT
  • Died: 7 Dec 1793, Middletown CT

  General notes:

Pewtersmith

  Events in his life were:

  • He was a partner in 1767-1769 with Samuel Hamlin in Hartford CT
    It is unlikely that Henshaw was a pewtersmith. It is now thought that he provided his name (as a well-known general merchant) and possibly capital to Hamlin, who was his next-door neighbor in Middletown.

Benjamin married Elizabeth Lord on 31 May 1753 in Middletown CT. (Elizabeth Lord was born on 4 Mar 1735 in Old Saybrook CT and died on 8 Jan 1761 in Middletown CT.)


Benjamin next married Huldah Stillman on 2 Jul 1761 in Middletown CT. (Huldah Stillman was born on 30 Apr 1737 in Wethersfield CT and died on 17 May 1827 in Middlebury VT.)
