    Benjamin, b. Dec. 9, 1716: d. June 20, 1806. He moved with his father to Rutland. Mass., in 1740. Sept. 1, 1740, mar. Martha Marble, of Petersham. In 1772 he removed from Rutland to Packersfield, now Nelson. His name occurs in the records of the settlement of that town. In 1776 he and his son. Benjamin, signed the Association Test with other patriots of Packersfield.

    To Benjamin Nourse is accredited three enlistments during the Revolution. On account of the age of the father it is presumed that the son, Benjamin, performed the greater part of the service. Two of the three terms of service include, in part, the same time which awards one enlistment at least to the father. Mr. Nourse removed to Littlefield, N. H., in 1786. He d. there June 20, 1806. His widow d. July 5 1807.

  4.   In Harvard where his father lived is found, p. 196: "NURSE, Benjamin Jr. and Martha Nurse of Reading, int. Mar. 31, 1739." It appears Benjamin was to marry his cousin. She did not participate in the division of her father's estate in 1743. Probably the marriage never occurred, but even if it did, the division of the father's probate indicates there was no issue.
