Children of Abner Alley and Sarah Webber: 1) Benjamin, b. "perh. at sea" 1764 "figured from age at death", bp. Lynn with 3 siblings 21 Nov 1773, d. Lynn 5 Jul 1842, m. 1 Feb 1784 Joanna Proctor. [Note: in 78th y. means age 77, so calculates to birth about 1765, not 1764. Unsure if this changes the assumptions that suggest b. "perh. at sea".]
