The Benson family was one of the earliest Dutch families to have settled in Manhattan.〔Guide to the Arthur D. Benson Genealogical Notes and Correspondence Concerning Egbert Benson and the Benson Family 1938 Control # B-11 ()〕 In a letter written to Arthur D. Benson, Egbert Benson lived at the corner of Puntine and Fulton streets in the home of William Puntine.〔Arthur D.

Benson was taught in Dutch, and he learned his catechism in that language.〔 Upon reaching a suitable age, Benson attended an English Classical school of repute and prepared himself for college.〔 During this time, he was guided and assisted greatly by the learned and deep-read scholar, the Revd. Doctor Barclay, Rector of Trinity Church.〔 He was privately educated, then attended King's College (now Columbia University), graduating in 1765. He read law, was admitted to the bar and moved to Red Hook in Dutchess County. He practiced law both there and in New York City. Benson was also honored by Harvard and Dartmouth College.〔
Benson had many relatives who were significant in the American Revolution. One was Benjamin Benson, who was a Revolutionary War soldier, a member of the Committee of Correspondence, and a signer of the Articles of Association, or "Association Test", which was preliminary to the Declaration of Independence, at Haverstraw, New York, in May 1775.〔 Egbert Benson was the brother of Lt. Col. Robert Benson and Captain Henry Benson, who commanded an armed vessel in the Revolution.〔
