Benjamin Bayles II
Born: May 26, 1734, Huntington, Long Island, New York
Died: before 1782, Morris Co., New Jersey
Note: probably died young, as no mention of marriage nor mentioned in
the wills of his father Benjamin in 1782 and brother Austin in 1783.
On Apr. 5, 1737, Benjamin and Letitia sold property in Huntington to
William Jarvis. This is probably when they moved to Morristown, Morris
Co., New Jersey, where they were living before 1742. The MCR start with
1742, so that Augustin could have been born and bapt. there in 1740
without appearing in the existing record. His will, dated Jan. 14,
1782, mentions his wife Kezia, his brother William, his sister Mary,
wife of Shubael Trowbridge and his sister Hannah Hathaway. The will of
his father, Benjamin, dated Mar. 11, 1783, mentions his daughter Mary,
wife of Joseph Williams. No record is found of Hannah's birth, but she
must
have been 16 or older when she married, and is mentioned in her
father's will as "my daughter Hannah, wife of Benjamin Hathaway."
