Military records give an approximate birth date for son Benjamin, who died August 30, 1814,in consequence of sickness,in Plattsburg, New York at the age of 20.

Sources: Early Families of Shapleigh and Acton, ME by Fred R. Boyle

Eaton, P. and Boyle, F.R. The American Genealogist Vol 79(2004), p. 149.

A soldier in the War of 1812, he is listed as a carpenter of Waterborough. Benjamin served as a private in Captain Densmore's Company in the 33rd Regiment of the United States Infantry.

His son, also called Benjamin, was born two weeks after his death, 11 Sept 1814. His widow, Eunice Warren Russell, and two children lived with her parents, Aaron and Kezia Warren. Aaron applied for a Revolutionary War pension in 1818 (No. 10, 433) in which he noted his daughter, Eunice Russell, age 26, whose husband was killed in the late war, granddaughter Rosamond, age 7, and grandson Benjamin, age 5.

Bladensburg, 17 - 29 August 1814. After the surrender of Napoleon the British dispatched Maj. Gen. Robert Ross from France on 27 June 1814 with 4,000 veterans to raid key points on the American coast. Ross landed at the mouth of the Patuxent River in Maryland with Washington as his objective on 19 August and marched as far as Upper Marlboro (22 August) without meeting resistance. Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. William Winder, in command of the Potomac District, had assembled a mixed force of about 5,000 men near Bladensburg, including militia, regulars, and some 400 sailors from Commodore Joshua Barney's gunboat flotilla, which had been destroyed to avoid capture by the British fleet. In spite of a considerable advantage in numbers and position, the Americans were easily routed by Ross' force. British losses were about 249 killed and wounded; the Americans lost about 100 killed and wounded, and 100 captured. British detachments entered the city and burned the Capitol and other public buildings (24-25 August) in what was later announced as retaliation for the American destruction at York.

Benjamin married Eunice WARREN 4 May 1812, Waterboro, York Co, ME. Eunice (daughter of Aaron WARREN and Keziah HUNTRESS) was born 16 Jun 1794, Shapleigh, York Co. ME; died 08 Apr 1862, Shapleigh, York Co. ME; was buried , Pitts Cemetery, Shapleigh York Co. ME. [Group Sheet]
