Benjamin Inman Jr. was born about 1745 near London, England. He was the seventh of ten children born to Benjamin Inman Sr. and his wife Jemime. He moved with his parents to South Carolina after 1754. In the web article Early Inmans of the South by Randy McConnell, he states that “John and Benjamin (Jr.) Inman had land claims on the Bush and Saluda rivers in SC by 1768.” This is in the part of the Ninety-Six District that would later become Newberry County.
Around 1780, when Benjamin was about 35, he married Elisabeth (last name unknown) in Newberry County, SC. All the children of Benjamin and Elisabeth were born in Newberry County – Ahab in 1782; Arthur in 1784; Benjamin in 1786; ancestor Jehu; daughter Ferrele, sometimes called Phereby in 1790; Charles about 1792; Elizabeth in 1795; and George on June 24, 1798.
Benjamin wrote his will on November 4, 1798 and died prior to May 20, 1799, the date his will was proved; he was about 54 years old. His probate papers contain an entry for a David Hammer who was paid 0|3|6 for digging his grave on what looks like May 7th of that year. Unfortunately, it doesn't state where the grave was dug. From an inventory taken a month later on June 11th and from the Sale of Goods and Chattels pages in his probate papers, we learn he accumulated a vast estate including a plank house; books; smith tools; cooper ware; furniture; loom; gun; farm tools; farm animals; a silver watch; gallons of whiskey, rum, brandy; pewter and crockery; Dutch oven, rawhide, rabbit fur, chains and many other items.
