The information so far about my 7x great grandfather Benjamin Shuttleworth is pretty scanty. This is the only mention I've found of him online, from the Early Records of Dedham, Massachusetts, V2:
Benjamin Shuttleworth lived for a time in Stonington, Conn., and the church records of that place show the baptism of two children of Benjamin and Sarah Shuttleworth. He soon, however, returned to this vicinity, and settled in Wrentham, where the records show the births of numerous children, one of whom, Samuel Shuttleworth, was born July 17, 1721, and removed to Dedham, where he was assessed in 1742, and in 1744 married Abigail Whiting, as mentioned above. page ix
Hill, Don Gleason ed., Early Records of Dedham, Massachusetts, Volume 2, Dedham Transcript, Dedham, Ma. 1888
The only reason I found even that is because the volume is dedicated to one of his descendants.
I need to see if I can find any Land or Probate Records on FamlySearch. The key might be the family of Benjamin's mother, Elizabeth Leonard.
