Disambiguation

Not to be confused with Benjamin Grigsby (1749-1840) who married Mary Price and moved to Montgomery County, Kentucky. Several researchers have confused and/or combined the two Genjamin Grigsby's, but records show that they were two different persons with two different families and in different locations.

[Note: unsure if this record belongs to this Benjamin Grigsby, it would be unusual for a very young child to receive an indenture such as this, as Benjamin Grigsby's son Duncan Grigsby was likely born sometime around 1786-1790, additional research needed]
