- "Benjamin Bisbee was a farmer. His father, Samuel, by a deed drawn in 1761 but not executed until 1764, bought 61 acres in Stoughton, a part of Lot 18, in the 5th range of the 25th division of Dorchester land. This lot was on what is now Park Street not far from the Brockton line. There Samuel built a house and by his will bequeathed his homestead to his son, Benjamin, subject to a life lease on one-half the estate to his mother and unmarried sister. Benjamin added to this later by purchases of several lots in Stoughton, among them in 1838 was on on the East side of Taunton Road owned by his son, Otis. It is now (1890) owned by the children of James Otis Bisbee."
