DEARBORN.
1. GODFREY DEARBORN, probably from Exeter, county of Devon, England. Soon after his emigration to America, 1639, with a wife and two or more children, he settled in Exeter. He was one of the thirty-five who signed the combination, and from time to time he re- ceived grants of land. He was a selectman, 1648. Before 1650 he re- moved from Exeter to Hampton, where he was selectman, 1655-1663, and 1671; the date of death of his wife is not known; she was living 1651.

4. BENJAMIN DEARBORN, b. August 13, 1713. m. Oct. 31, 1735, Susannah Colcord. He passed the active years of his life in Chester, and there his children were born. He built a house on his lot and with his brothers he was a joint owner of the early sawmill. He sold his real estate in Chester in Nov., 1767, and with all his family, he removed 1767 or 1768 to Plymouth. His three daughters were married here. The first tax-list preserved is for the year 1770, and he and his oldest son Samuel were taxed that year. According to the law and usage of the time the next two sons were first taxed when they were twenty years of age; Benjamin in and after 1771 and Peter, 1773. For some reason, military or otherwise, Michael, the youngest son, was first taxed 1779, or when he was twenty-four years of age. The date of the death of Benjamin Dearborn, the father, is not known. A tradition that he d. in the army is not sustained by any record ; but his granddau. Eliza, dau. of Samuel, said he was a Revolutionary soldier. He was last taxed 1776, and his estate was administered, 1779. Seven children b. in Chester.
