"Benjamin Roberts was a merchant trader, and the owner of several vessels, among them the 'Samuel,' the 'Martha' and the 'Porrige,' which traded with the West Indies and at New London, bringing home cargoes of merchandise, which were stored in his house and cellar, strongly built for the purpose. He was a large land owner." [Commemorative Biographical Record of Hartford County, Connecticut (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1901), Part I, p. 97]
