Individual Details

Benjamin married Elizabeth Hodge before 1775. They had seven children, daughters: Sarah, Elizabeth, Lucy, Ailsa, Nancy & Temperance, and one son William. They were probably all born in North Carolina, but most of Benjamin's children, grandchildren & great grandchildren remained all their lives in Kentucky.

Benjamin's family is on the 1790 & 1800 Census for Edgecombe Co NC. The Feb Court of 1807 fined Benjamin Pippin five pounds for Polly Evans' expenses of lying in & of a bastard begotten on her by the said Pippin. The fine was to be paid to William Philips who was then supporting Polly Evans. This child has not been identified. The Aug Court Records for 1807 note that both Benjamin & Joseph were in arrears for their 1806 taxes. It's possible that they both left Edgecombe Co at this time with Joseph stopping in Jackson Co TN and Benjamin going on to Livingston Co KY.
