Benjamin was the son of Philip Liscom and Charity Jordan of Milton and Stoughton, Mass. He was called single in his father's 1736 will. In his own will, dated 1745, he named his brother Philip as sole heir and executor. In the will he talked about unspecified dangers that he might face. He was reportedly killed by Indians the following year (dying "in the twentieth year of his majesty's reign, leaving no wife nor child nor any legal heir"), making the language in his will sound somewhat prophetic. The 20th year of the reign of King George II was 1746.
