Notes
a. Note:   Richard Benjamin Jr. 2 (Richard 1). Born 1645 at Watertown, MA.; Son of Richard and Anna (----) Benjamin; died September 29, 1730, at age of 85, at Cutchoque, L.I., N.Y. He married Elizabeth (Eliza) ----, who died February 9, 1707/8 at Southold, L.I., N.Y. He may have married again, either to an Anne --- or Mary ---, Though this is doubtful.
 There have been some records that indicated that Elizabeth was a Terry. If this was true, she would have been born in 1655. However, again there is no proof for this statement.
 In the list of taxpayers in 1675 there is only one Richard Benjamin listed, so Richard Jr. was probably still living with his father or at least living on his land. In 1683 Richard is listed on the tax rolls and was assessed 133 pounds.
 In the 1686 census he is listed with 5 males and 4 females in his family.
 Richard and Simeon's farms bordered each other, with Simeon's the next farm west of Richard's. Richard was a farmer at Cutchoque (Corchang), L.I. One record stated that he later went to one of his father's "occabank" allotments at Northville, where his descendants still reside.
 On May 10, 1680 he was a witness to a will made by Barnabas Horton of Southold, L.I.
 It seems, from the records, that Elizabeth may have died in childbirth. A son, James, died two months after his mother.
 There is some question as to Eliza who m. Joesph Young being a daughter. Also Amaziah might possibly be a son of John 3-. There is also a question as to Belluah and Alethea.
