Note: Benjamin, an early settler of Springfield, Massachusetts, was baptized May 1, 1625 at St. Mary's Church in Beaminster, Dorset, England, son of William Parsons and Margaret Hoskins. He came to New England about 1650, met and married Sarah at Windsor, Massachusetts 6 October 1653. She was probably born in Dorchester, Massachusetts about 1635, daughter of Richard and Ann Vore.

Benjamin was still a resident of Beaminster in March 1649/50, when he surrendered his cottage there. He apparently left soon after, for he first appeared in Springfield, Massachusetts on 4 November 1651, when he was appointed a fence viewer.

Benjamin Parsons took an active role in town affairs in Springfield, serving as surveyor of highways, fence viewer, juror, constable and selectman. He was active in establishing the First Congregational Church there in 1679 and became a deacon. When he was chosen a selectman in February 1678/9, his name was not prefixed with a title, but at a meeting of the selectmen on 2 June 1679, he was designated as "Deacon” Benjamin Parsons. He owned land in Springfield, Suffield, and Enfield; the latter two towns then in Massachusetts but now in Connecticut.

He is one of six settlers that are named on the Enfield Plantation deed. That deed was negated with the Indians on 16 March 16 80. He never lived in Enfield, but was given more than one parcel of land. In 1691, B. Parsons, S. Terry & I. Morgan were given a tract of land to build a sawmill. This was the first building built East of Enfield. Two of Deacon Benjamin’s sons, Benjamin II and Samuel settled in Enfield.
