Benjamin was apprentice to Nicolas Elsey while a young boy. He and five other boys "were found guilty of committing much wickedness in a filthy corrupting way one with another. The boys were sentenced to be publicly whipped."
Benjamin took the oath of fidelity in April of 1657. He and Rebecca married and lived in New Haven, CT. They rented a home from John Wakefield on the west side of the West Creek in New Haven.
Benjamin appeared before the New Haven Court on a number of charges, including that he "Lay with an indian squaw, was ye basest ffellow and subsequently was implicated in imbeizling, including a great quantity of strong Liquor & wine, & other goods. On one occasion he was fined five shillings, on another ten shillings for his entertaining of other mens servants tipling at his house unseasonably contrary to law."
The couple received from Peter Mallory land "by way of portion in part with my loving daughter Rebecca Bunnell, to my loving son-in-law Benjamin Bunnell" in July 1684. On April 27, 1690, Benjamin and the six youngest children were baptized.
After Rebecca's death, Benjamin married widow Elizabeth Sperry.
