Benjamin Marsh
Benjamin Marsh I (1687 – c. 1775) was one of the founders of Sutton, Massachusetts. He was the founder of the first Baptist Church in Sutton, and served as its first pastor and elder.〔Benedict, Rev. William A. and Tracy, Rev. Hiram A., ''History of the Town of Sutton, Massachusetts, from 1704 to 1876,'' pp. 18, 21, 255, 689-91, Sanford & Co, Worcester, MA, 1878.〕〔Sutton Vital Records〕
In 1716, the families of Benjamin Marsh, Elisha Johnson and Nathaniel Johnson were the first three pioneer families to settle what is now Sutton. Brothers Samuel and Daniel Carriel also occupied the Benjamin Marsh family cabin. They almost didn't survive the first winter - the winter of the "big snow" - which buried their cabins. Marsh's daughter, Abigail, was the first white child born in Sutton. As the town grew, Marsh held a number of positions of responsibility, including Selectman, Town Clerk and Town Moderator. He served on committees representing the town for the purpose of erecting a meeting house and financial matters, and served as Trustee for town funds. He founded the town's Baptist Church, and served as its first pastor and elder until his death.〔Perley, Sidney.
