He was married twice. His first wife was Mary Runyon, and they had 13 children: John, Benjamin, Francis, Rebecca, Zacharias, William, Rachel, Thomas, Nathaniel, Edmond, Daniel, David and Mary. The family lived in Hopewell Twp.
His second wife was Hannah, whose surname is unknown. There is some speculation that it was either Dunham or Stout, but neither is confirmed. It is unknown whether they had children together.
Benjamin has also been linked to a Hannah Seabrooke, but again, this has never been confirmed.
In his will, Benjamin lists a daughter Hannah, who was not Mary Runyon Drake's daughter.
In 1707 Benjamin was living in Stony Brook, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey.
He passed away before Aug. 30, 1763.
