Son of John Conrad and Anna Eve (Feck) Weiser.

He died aged three months.

From his father's autobiography:

"The 18th of July, 1736, I had again a son born to me. I called him Benjamin; when he was three months old, the care of the Almighty God took him away; the same year my daughter Elizabeth followed him. A merciful God will give them all to me again, to the honor of His glory."

According to the Conrad Weiser Homestead website, he is believed to be buried here with his parents:

"Conrad Weiser is buried atop of the small hill to west of his house. In addition to Conrad Weiser, his father, his wife, his son Fredrick, his six children who died before adulthood, and several of his Native American cohorts are supposedly, according to oral history, buried in the cemetery plot. Conrad and Anna Eva's gravestones were the only legible ones, as the various other gravestones in the plot have no visible writing upon them."
