BENJAMIN KILLAM (May 20, 1740- August 31, 1811)
He is listed in the History of Temple, New Hampshire, among those who marched to Cambridge, Massachusetts to repel the British on April 19, 1775. His name appears among the Heroes of 1776 on a monument at Temple, New Hampshire. After the Revolution, he was a farmer and was active in town affairs, serving on the school squad and giving land for a schoolhouse, and helping secure transfer (due to topography) of several lots including his from the Town of Lyneboro to the Town of Temple in 1795.
He was a 6th generation descendant of Governor John Endecott and a grandson of Grace Endecott (daughter of Zerubbabel and Grace Symonds and great granddaughter of Governor John Endecott.) Grace married Samuel Killam on Dec 21, 1715. Their son Samuel Killam, born on December 4, 1716, married Abigail Roberts. Samuel and Abigail's son Benjamin Killam was born May 20, 1740 in Wilmington (Woburn) Massachusetts. He married Sarah Foster October 1, 1761 and they moved to Temple/Lyneboro, New Hampshire, about 1773. He died in Wilmington, Massachusetts where he had gone on business.</p>
