The son of Samuel Belsky and Anna Rotkin, who immigrated from Russia to New York City. His father was a tailor.

Benjamin and Josephine had three sons, Stanley, Douglas and Curtis and lived in north Bethesda. They purchased 7 acres and moved a large historic mansion onto the property.

Benjamin was an auctioneer for the Smithsonian and later owned a prestigious jewelry store in Washington, D. C.

Benjamin was Jewish and was buried in Jewish tradition. I can remember when he was brought home and his body prepared by his sons. His wife, Josephine was of the Christian faith, but respected her husband's beliefs.
