Notes for Benjamin TROTTER

In 1702 Benjamin Meeker and Benjamin Trotter built a home for the Rev. John
Harriman in Elizabethtown. [Hatfield - p.287]
In his will, dated 27 October 1716, he mentions his wife Hannah, daughter
Sarah "wife of William Clarke", and the rest of his children, including an
expected child [probably named Elizabeth]. Mr. Clarke was sole executor.
Although will was written 1716, it wasn't proved until 1726.
