-Benjamin and Bridget Crisp migrated on board the “Plough” in 1631 to Watertown, Massachusetts. He may have been an indentured servant to Major Edward Gibbons. He was made a “freeman” in 1646. They were Puritans. Bridget died during King Phillip’s War, partly as a consequence of a raid on Groton. Also Deliverance, one of their daughters, along with her husband and 5 of her 8 children were killed in an Indian raid on Groton on 27 July 1694. The other 3 were taken into captivity, one daughter died of starvation, one entered a convent in Quebec and the remaining son was ransomed and reluctantly returned in 1699. Benjamin was a Mason by trade.

Their daughter Elizabeth married George Lawrence, son of John Lawrence and Elizabeth. In the next generation their daughter Mercy married William Baker, son of Francis Baker and Isabel Twining.
