He first married Polly Rebecca Cureton and they had 9 children before she died. Benjamin next married Margaret Jane Williams and they had 16 children. He also served with the local militia during the Texas revolution. Benjamin loved racehorses and rode them until he broke a leg at the age of 96 during a horse race. He died September 14, 1853 and is buried in Blackjack-Attoyac Cemetery located 3.9 miles north of Chireno, Texas in Nacodgoches County. According to Clovis' book there are no markers on his grave. During a conversation with family members they also agreed that Benjamin was buried in an unmarked grave on his farm in Blackjack. The farm is no longer in family hands and has become inaccessible. The family placed a memorial headstone in Glenfawn Cemetery in Rusk County to honor their ancestor and where several other family members are buried to include a son of Benjamin. The Athens Chapter and the James George Chapter of the SRT marked this headstone on November 24, 2018 with many family members in attendance.
