Mifflin, Benjamin

Mifflin, Benjamin

Benjamin Mifflin was a master builder elected to The Carpenters' Company by 1770, although no Company records prior to the 1760s survive to provide a date. He was often absent from Philadelphia, and references to his working in northern Delaware where he became a member of the Duck Creek Monthly Meeting suggest that he may have moved there after the Revolution.
