Nicolai Benjamin Cappelen

Nicolai Benjamin's younger brother Ulrik Frederik Cappelen too became a jurist and member of the national parliament.

The oldest sisters Didricha and Louise were married consecutively to bishop and politician Jens Lauritz Arup.

The fourth sister Benedicte married their cousin Hans Blom Cappelen; from this marriage, Jørgen got a nephew Didrik who became a member of parliament, and a niece Marie who married Fritz Trampe Flood of the notable Flood ship-owner family.

That year he was succeeded by Christian Cornelius Paus, and instead went on to become district judge (sorenskriver) in Bamble.

As a politician Nicolai Benjamin Cappelen was elected member of the Norwegian Parliament in 1839, representing the constituency of Skien og Porsgrund.
