"Benjamin, third son of Jonathan and Submit (Strong) Clapp, of Easthampton, was born Dec. 16, 1738; married Phebe Boynton; died Nov. 8, 1815, aged 71 years. He is said to have been remarkably strong and rugged, and he continued through life the old puritanic habit of attending church every Sunday. He was in the Revolutionary army for a time, but was called home to take charge of his sick father."
