      (II) Benjamin, tenth child and fifth son of Richard Kimball, born in 1637, about the time his father moved from Watertown to Ipswich, Massachusetts, died June II, 1695. He was probably a resident of Exeter, New Hampshire, in 1659, a carpenter by trade. He removed to Salisbury, Massachusetts, in or before 1662. and was a resident of Rowley, Massachusetts, May 12, 1663, when he bought Innd which iswithin the limits of the present town of Bradford, then a part of Rowley. On February 20, 1668. at the first town meeting in Merri- mack, afterwards Bradford, he was chosen overseer of the town. He was called of that town March 16, 1670, and Marcli 15, 1674. On November 23, 1667, he bought several tracts of land: among them was land which once belonged to his brother, Thomas Kimball, who was killed by an Indian May 3, 1676. He was a wheelwright and farmer, and his house was in the west parish of old Bradford, not far from the ancient cemetery. He was a cornet of house troops and was known as "Cornet Kimball." He and his brother Richard Kimball were soldiers in 1683 and 1684. under Captain Appleton. His inventory showed that he was well off for the times, the total amount of his estate being one thousand and sixty pounds, seven shillings. Among the assets was a quarter interest in a saw mill in Haver- hill, near the Amesbury line, which he bought of Matthew Harriman. This interest was handed down in the family for several generations. The gravestones of Benjamin and Mercy Kimball may still be seen in the cemetery at Bradford. Benjamin Kimball married. April, 1661, in Salisbury, Mercy, daughter of Robert and Ann Hazeltine. born "16, 8 mo, 1642," and died January 5, 1708.

The children of Benjamin and Mercy (Hazeltine) Kimball were: Anna; Mercy; Richard; Elizabeth; David; Jonathan; Robert; Abraham; Samuel; Ebenezer; and Abigail. (David, Jonathan, Robert, Samuel, and Ebenezer and descendants are noted at length in this article).
