Beth -

Richards shows him as the second child of Ebenezer and Sarah (Ward)
Humphrey, and says:

ii. Benjamin, Oct. 2, 1734. m. Feb. 28, 1757, Bathsheba Beal, dau. of
Joshua and Elisabeth (Stodder) Beal. She was b. in Hing. Sept. 28,
1738. They had Betty, bt. Nov. 13, 1757. No further notice. (History of
Hingham 2:362)

I do not find either Benjamin or Ebenezer in Plymouth VRs. This Ebenezer
would appear to be identical with the father of Benjamin above. Richards
gives a blank for the date of his birth in Hingham, and gives the date of
04-Jun-1746 for the rendering of the account of his widow Sarah's
administration of his estate. (ibid.)
