Son of Jabez Gifford 1686–1761 and Dinah Sheldon 1697–1761 born approximately 1720 Wareham, Massachusetts.


First husband of Abigail Wing. Benjamin Gifford was killed in a sleigh accident when horses ran out of control.


It is strongly presumed Benjamin Gifford is buried here as he was a member of this meeting house. His parents are likely buried here as well.

(A possible sibling Catherine Gifford Collins Hoxie, 1718-1801, may be memorial #74275654. Looks to be a cenotaph stone placed much later, with different spelling of name. More research needed.)
