Hall, in his History of Norwalk (pp. 174-77) gives some of Mr. B.'s reminiscences of the burning of the town by the British. He (Mr. B.) says they came Saturday, while the people were harvesting. Our soldiers collected fast, and stopped to drink wine on the stoop of his father's house. The family packed up their goods hastily, and took refuge that night at Belden's Hill. A party of light horse came in the night, and in the morning they saw the smoke rising from Norwalk. The house where Mr. B. lived (1847) was used as a hospital by the British, was set on fire when the retreat commenced, but the people rallied and saved it from the flames. Mrs. Benedict, who lived at Roton river, saw the fleet coming from Long Island. She remembered that one night her mother courageously gave the alarm when the tories were stealing the cattle. A tory fired at her mother, and Mrs. B. heard the ball whistle. Thomas d. Jan. 5, 1852. Ch. 17. THOMAS, b. Oct. 7, 1797.
