Notes
General:
In Epsom, NH 1762-1765 then removed to Wolfeboro.
Salem Gazette 3-26-1824 MR. BENJAMIN BLAKE

In Wolfeboro, Mr. Benjamin Blake, aged 93. From Greenland, Mr. B. first removed to Epsom, and thence to Wolfeboro, Nov. 9, 1766, being the first white man who entered the town. Deeply interesting must have been his reflections in the decline of life, whilst reviewing the pleasing and rapid changes that had occurred around him during the last fifty years of his protracted existence. Before his own axe, the forest began to fall; and yet he had lived to see the spot, on which his own were the first foot-steps imprinted by civilized man, covered with almost two thousand inhabitants and rendered the abode of industry and enterprise. In the hour or trial, Mr. Blake was not found wanting in firmness and courage. During the contest usually denominated the French War, he marched to Saratoga, and before he returned was personally concerned in a sharp action with the enemy.
