Feb. 10, 1755, and d. March 17, 1845. He was a Revolutionary soldier and
pensioner; settled in the town of Solon, in the spring of 1793. H. C. Goodwin,
in his Pioneer Hist. of Cortland Co., 1859, pp. 207-8, says: "As we look over
the dim vestiges of the past, and behold the hardy pioneer of civilization
penetrating the boundary line which now marks the northern limits of Cortland
Co., we feel that his was a hazardous effort, and that a great amount of energy
must have been embraced in his wild, romantic character. The foot-prints of
civilization had not then penetrated into this dense wilderness. True, the
French traders had visited the Indians in their rude cabins, and even
established trading posts, but these had disappeared with time and change. Yet
through the deep, thick forest of hemlock, maple, elm and basswood, wandered the
bold, resolute pioneer, Samuel Benedict, who, in the fall of 1793, located on
lot 12. He erected a log citadel and christened it Home."

settled about six miles from the Ohio river, where (Rutland) his descendants now
reside. "He suffered all the privations and inconveniences incident to a pioneer
life in a new and well timbered country, but he patiently submitted to all
these, justifying divine Providence in every circumstance, recounting the
mercies he received with gratitude, and constantly speaking of the glorious hope
that sustained him." He was Deacon of the first free-will Baptist church
organized in that part of the state. He closed his pious life, Oct. 29, 1828.

BENJAMIN
BENEDICT:
"Henry Marvin Benedict, The Genealogy of the
Benedicts in America, (Joel Munsell, 82 State Street, Albany, NY, 1870), page
73."
"Capt. Benedict removed to So. Salem before 1776,
and finally settled at Patterson, near the close of the last century. Here he
became a member of the Presb. church, and held the office of Deacon for many
years. During the Revolutionary War he performed considerable service in the
American army. He served at least one enlistment in the Continental army, in the
campaign of 1777, on the northern frontier; but the most of his service was
rendered in the county of his residence (Westchester). Living near what was then
called the 'lines,' or 'neutral ground' between the British army in N. Y. city,
and the American armies in the interior, they were constantly in danger from the
raids of the British army, and the depredations of 'Cow-boys,' as they were
called. He belonged to a company of organized militia, called 'minute-men,' who
were obliged to be in readiness to march at a moment's notice, and in this
capacity did much service. He was a member of the guard over Major Andre, during
a portion of the time of his confinement, trial and execution." He was appointed
Ensign, May 4, 1780; Lieut., June 24, 1786, and Captain, March 8, 1791. He d.

"Soon after his marriage he removed to New Canaan
and settled upon a farm which he cultivated with his own hands for sixty years.
For some time he was a soldier in the Revolutionary War (pensioner); held
several public offices in the community; for fifty-nine years a member of the
Cong. church, and an efficient Deacon in the same for thirty-six years. He
possessed great meekness and gentleness of disposition. His deep interest in the
welfare of his country, and in all that appertained to the prosperity of the
cause of the Redeemer, led him to make willing contributions, both of his money
and services, to the cause of Christian benevolence. The poor found in him a
steadfast friend, and to the church he was both an ornament and pillar. Both his
corporeal and mental powers remained unimpaired till almost the close of his
honorable and useful life, and his end was peace. He d. May 17, 1840, in his
90th year, having reached exactly the age of both his father and grandfather. An

pastor, Rev. Theophilus Smith, from Gen. xxxv, 29. 'And Isaac gave up the ghost
and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days.'"

"In 1797 he started, with his older brother Isaac,
on a tour of exploration and inquiry to central New York, then the "far west,"
and was so well pleased with Clinton, Oneida Co., that in the following spring
he fixed upon that town as a place of settlement. He was a carpenter, and
erected many of the best houses in the village of Clinton. In 1812 he removed to
Lennox, and opened a public house in that part of the town known as Quality
Hill. At the close of the war he returned to Clinton, and was employed for two
years as college steward, keeping 'commons' in the building now used for the
mineralogical cabinet. He made a profession of religion in 1820, and was chosen
Deacon in 1844 (Cong. church). He was active and efficient in all matters which
concerned the welfare of the church and the community. He was a diligent teacher
in the sabbath-school, and liberal in his gifts to objects of philanthropy and
benevolence. He was not a man of many words, but his testimony was never wanting
on the side of virtue and religion. Deacon Benedict continued his habits of
activity up to old age. He d. Aug. 7, 1868, aged 92 years, 6 months and 3 days.
Mrs. Benedict, his 2d wife, was a valued and faithful member of the church. With
a discreet and reliable judgment, and firmness and energy of purpose, she
blended a conciliatory deportment, prudence, and practical wisdom. of great
equanimity and uniformity of temper and disposition, she was eminently fitted to
be useful. These qualities were sanctified and consecrated by divine grace. She
died in the exercise of an humble faith, after a long and tedious illness."

of 1773, Uriah and Stephen, together with several other New England families,
removed to Ball's Town, in the Saratoga district of New York. The deed of
Uriah's farm bears date Jan. 12, 1774. He did not fail to display alacrity to
take part in the civil and ecclesiastical affairs of the settlement, for which
his religious character and business capacity fitted him. The first church
established there chose him Deacon; and he was supervisor of the district in
1783 and 1784. He had five sons and six daughters, and his family, like himself,
was eminent for temperance and industry. He d. Feb., 1800. His wife, a notable
housewife and a prodigy of industry, even until old age, survived him until Dec.
6, 1834.

Rev. ABNER,5 A. M. (Peter,4 James,3 John,2 Thomas1), b. Nov. 9, 1740, North
Salem. He m. four times: 1st, Rebecca Benedict (?), by whom he had one child,
who died in infancy, and the mother at its birth. He resided then, and up to
1765, at North Salem; m. 2d. 1771, Lois, dau. Dr. Northrop of New Milford, Ct.
"After the death of his wife and child, and before his second marriage, he
entered Yale College; graduated in 1769, and in due course took the degree of A.
M. He studied theology with the celebrated Dr. Bellamy of Bethlehem, Ct., and
was licensed as a Congregational clergyman. He preached as a candidate for
settlement on Long Island, and in Connecticut. In 1771 he was ordained and
settled in Middlefield, a parish in Middletown, Ct., and remained there about
fourteen years; and, during that time, by his address and efforts, he procured
the emancipation of all the slaves held by his people. During the war of the
revolution, he was a genuine and consistent whig. He left his people temporarily
to act as a chaplain in the army. He was one of the last in the retreat from
Long Island, and was in the battles of White Plains and Harlaem. In 1785 he
obtained a dismission from Middlefield, Ct., and was next settled at New
Lebanon, where he was installed June 8, 1786. He was, at his own request,
dismissed in 1791, his salary being greatly in arrears, the balance œ642 13s.
not having been paid until May 19, 1794, as appears by a receipt on the books of
the trustees. From New Lebanon he removed to North Salem, thence to Poundridge,
and thence to North Stamford, Ct., where his wife died. From North Stamford he
removed to Parsippany, N. J., thence to Roxbury, where he died Nov. 19, 1818,
aged 78. His fourth wife (wid. Sawyer of Cobleskill) survived him. In the
history of Middlesex Co., Ct., he is described as a man of strong and benevolent
affections, and an intelligent and able divine. He left behind him some
manuscripts, the result of great labor, particularly the one on the Book of
Revelations. An ingenious essay on Melchisedec, left by him in manuscript, was
published in one of the earliest numbers of the Christian Spectator. He also
left some philosophical and mechanical tracts on the tides and winds, and on
submarine navigation and attack, exhibiting a profound, ingenious and careful
intellect. He was a man of remarkably clear, well balanced and philosophical
mind, and of thorough education. He was offered a professorship in Yale College,
but did not accept it. The following is the inscription on his gravestone:
Sacred to
The memory of
The Rev. ABNER BENEDICT.
Distinguished for strength of intellect, serenity of temper and
Benevolence of disposition.
His powers and attainments,
Great and various,
were ever devoted
To the Service of God
And the good of man.
He died Nov. 19, 1818, aged 77 years and 362 days.
Erected by his son, Joel T. Benedict."

with Rev. Dr. Bellamy. He was ordained pastor of Newent Soc., Lisbon, Ct., Feb.
21, 1771, and dismissed for lack of support, May 1, 1782. He then removed to the
vicinity of his native place, and preached as he had opportunity, till, in Aug.,
1784, he was invited to a pulpit in Plainfield, which had then been nearly seven
years vacant. Here he was installed Dec. 23, 1784 -- the sermon from his
brother, Rev. Abner, of Middlefield parish. The ministerial rate having been
given up, his support was provided for by funds and subscriptions. It was eked
out by labors as an instructor in academical and theological studies. There Mr.
Benedict served a long and happy term of ministerial service, winning to himself
much esteem, not only among his own people, but throughout the country. In 1808
he received a Doctorate in Divinity from Union College, and, in 1814, the same
degree from Dartmouth College. He was highly reputed for piety, knowledge, and
prudence, and was especially thought a proficient in his acquaintance with the
Hebrew Scriptures. His manner of preaching is described as quiet and moderate,
chiefly extemporaneous, and full of good instruction, but not fitted especially
to arouse the careless. He died Feb. 13, 1816. A monument reared by filial
affection among the graves of his attached people, commemorates his virtues. A
funeral sermon from the text, "A great man has fallen in Israel," by Rev. Samuel
Nott, D. D., was published. Dr. Benedict is not known to have published anything
except a sermon preached at Dr. Levi Hart's funeral." Cong. Zuar., July, 1860.

Thomas1), b. May 25, 1737; m. Feb. 16, 1763, Rhoda Bennet, b. 1743, and d. 1795;
m. 2d, Jan. 18, 1796, Nabby Sheldon of Hartford, Ct., b. 1743, and d. Nov. 23,
1827. He was graduated at Nassau Hall College of New Jersey, in 1757; received
the degree of Master of Arts, ad eundem, from Yale College, in 1760, and was a
fellow of that institution from 1801 to 1812. He served as chaplain of 13th
Regt., Ct. militia, from 1795 to 1812. Mr. B. was ordained as pastor of the
first society in Woodbury, Oct. 22, 1760. He was a man of sound piety, and of
great dignity and amiability of temper. He held an honored place in the
affections of his people. He was successful as a spiritual teacher, and was
followed to the tomb by his parishioners with hearts throbbing with grief. His
church has been noted for the length of time it has enjoyed the services of its
ministers. There is, perhaps, no other instance in the country where a church
has been presided over by three pastors, as has been the case with this, for the
long period of one hundred and forty-three years. Mr. B. was spoken of, during
his life, and is still so remembered, as one of the fairest specimens of the
good clergymen of Connecticut. Constitutionally, he had a well balanced mind;
singularly discreet and exemplary in his every day deportment, and in all the
relations of life; as a preacher and counsellor, he held a high rank. His temper
was even, and his condition was placid and easy. Temptations, he was cautious,
and even zealous to put, if possible, out of the way. He once had a favorite
horse, young, sound, gentle, active and graceful; the animal was admired by his
rider's parishioners. But Mr. Benedict, to the surprise of all, sold the horse.
A neighbor expressed his astonishment at the event, and inquired the reason of
it. "He was growing unruly," was the grave pastor's reply. "But I thought," said
the man, "that he was a very orderly horse." "No," was the rejoinder; "he was
growing quite unruly; he once got into the pulpit, and I thought it was time to
part with him." Mr. Benedict was blessed in his family, and honored in the
alliances of his children by marriage, and by their eminent usefulness and the
distinctions to which they attained in public offices and employments. His
people never desired his separation; death effected it April 20, 1813, at the
age of seventy-six. He lives in the sweet and grateful remembrance of the aged
in his parish and out of it; and the present generation of Woodbury have heard
from the reverential and affectionate, the story of his goodness.(*) (Cothren's
History Ancient Woodbury, pp. 301-304, see also p. 229.) His sermon delivered on
the occasion of the death of Rev. Dr. Bellamy in 1790, was published with an
appendix, in pamphlet form, and has since been republished in vol. I, Dr.
Bellamy's works. (Sprague's Annals, vol. I, p. 407.)
(*) S. G. Goodrich, in his Recollections of a Life-time (p. 378, vol. II), says:
"At length we departed from Durham, and took our way homeward, arriving at last
at Woodbury. Here we remained a week or ten days, being hospitably entertained
by the Rev. Noah Benedict, my brother-in-law's uncle. He lived in a large, low,
old-fashioned house, embowered in elms, and having about it an air of antiquity,
comfort, and repose. He was himself very aged -- nearly eighty years old, I
should judge. He was like my own lineage, of the orthodox faith, and sometimes
officiated in the pulpit, though he had now a colleague. I need not describe him
further than to say that he was a fine old man, greatly beloved by his parish,
and almost adored by his immediate connections. Close by, in a sumptuous house,
lived his son, Hon. Noah B. Benedict, then a leading lawyer of the state. Half a
mile to the south, in an antique, gable-roofed mansion, dwelt his daughter, the
wife of Nathaniel Smith, one of the judges of the supreme court, and regarded as
the intellectual giant of his time."

grad. at Yale College in 1788, and was admitted to the bar in Litchfield Co., in
1792. He was appointed judge of probate in 1805, and resigned in 1816, on being
elected an assistant (senator) or member of the council, which office he filled
two years. He was elected a member of the house of representatives (Connecticut)
in Oct., 1796, and reelected to ten sessions, subsequently, between this date
and May, 1827. He was clerk of the house in 1809, and May, 1810. In the third
week in June, 1831, Mr. Benedict came to Litchfield, to argue, among other
cases, that of Fairman v. Bacon, 8 Connecticut Reports, 418. Just before that
case came on, he was taken ill at his lodging, and could only send in the brief
he had prepared. He was carried home, but survived only a few days. Judge
Daggett, in giving the opinion of the court, in the case referred to, says he
made "great use of the brief furnished by Mr. B., because he found it presented
the argument in that dense, yet luminous view, for which that gentleman was so
conspicuous, and by which the court were so often instructed and enlightened;
and rarely more so than in this, one of his last efforts." His death occurred
July 2, 1831, at the age of sixty years. He d. without issue. "He was honorably
distinguished in his profession, courteous, affectionate and kind in his
feeling, and endeared to the circle of his relatives and friends by his numerous
virtues." Such is the modest record on his tombstone. He devised in his will the
right of reversion to his homestead and some fifteen acres of valuable land, "to
the 1st Congr. or Pres. Soc. of Woodbury, Ct." (Cothren's History Ancient

Her husband, Col. Joseph Platt Cooke, graduated
at Yale College in 1750. He established himself in Danbury, Ct., and when the
British, under Gen. Tryon, having landed at Compo Point, on Long Island Sound,
April 25, 1777, marched upon that place, he was Colonel of militia there. Upon
the death of Gen. Wooster the command devolved upon Col. Cooke, the next in
rank. "Col. Cooke was greatly esteemed, not only by the community, but by the
leading men of the country. He enjoyed the friendship and confidence of
Washington, and the acquaintance of Lafayette, Rochambeau and De Grasse, whom he
entertained at his house. He was a member of Congress under the confederation,
and subsequently filled the various offices of judge of the county court, judge
of probate and member of the Governor's Council. His style of living was
liberal. In manners and dress he was strongly marked with the Washingtonian era;
he was sedate, courteous, methodical in all his ways; he wore breeches,
knee-buckles, shoe-buckles, and a cocked hat to the last. The amenity and
serenity of his countenance bespoke the refined gentleman and disciplined
Christian." (See Goodrich's Recollections of a Life-time, pp. 326-30; also,

b. Jan. 29, 1738, and d. Jan 27, 1815. At the breaking out of the Revolutionary
war, he raised a company of one hundred soldiers(*) in Fairfield Co., which was
incorporated May 1, 1775, as the 6th Co. in the 5th Regt. of the Connecticut
line, which was under the command of Col. David Waterbury. He commanded his
company during the campaign of of 1775, serving before Ticonderoga, Aug., 1775,
and before Montreal, and below Fort St. Johns, Nov., 1775. He was discharged
Dec. 13, 1775; reappointed and taken prisoner in Nov., 1776, at Fort Washington,
on the Hudson river. He appears to have been been appointed captain three times,
receiving the last appointment, Nov., 1776. Hinman says "that at the time he was
taken prisoner, one half of his company being with him, were also taken -- the
other half then being in Fort Lee, on the other bank of the Hudson. The
prisoners, excepting officers, were confined in the sugar house, in New York.
The cruelties inflicted upon them are the theme of conversation among their
relatives to this day. The detail of the sufferings was communicated to their
friends by the survivors, Sergt. [Jonah] Benedict and Stephen Bump. Col. Joseph
Barnum, the father of one of these sufferers learned from them that, for many
days, his son, having been deprived of food and drink, literally died of hunger
in the act of attempting to bite a brick, and with a piece of brick in his
mouth," etc. (See Hinman's Connecticut in the Revolution, pp. 137, 168, 208,

"He was a thorough patriot, and took an active
part in the Revolutionary war; enlisting, May 11, 1775, with rank of corporal,
in his brother Capt. Noble's Co. (Col. Waterbury's Regt.). He was before
Ticonderoga, in Aug., 1775, and was commissioned sergeant by Capt. Noble
Benedict, Nov. 19, 1775, at Fort Johns. He entered the service again in 1776, as
sergeant in Capt. Noble's Co. (Col. Bradley's Regt.), and was taken prisoner,
with many others, while on duty at Fort Washington, on the Hudson river, Nov.,
1776. He was put on board the prison-ship Grosvenor, lying at the Wallabout,
from which he was removed to the old sugar house, and there confined, suffering
great hardships from sickness and ill-usage, until permitted to depart, being
then, April, 1777, considered at the point of death. He was carried to Danbury,
Ct., in a horse litter, about two weeks before Danbury was burnt by the British.
He, and his old father Matthew, who was living in Jonah's house, were taken out
of their beds before daylight on Sunday morning, April 27, 1777, and tied to

Rev. ABNER,5 A. M. (Peter,4 James,3 John,2 Thomas1), b. Nov. 9, 1740, North
Salem. He m. four times: 1st, Rebecca Benedict (?), by whom he had one child,
who died in infancy, and the mother at its birth. He resided then, and up to
1765, at North Salem; m. 2d. 1771, Lois, dau. Dr. Northrop of New Milford, Ct.
"After the death of his wife and child, and before his second marriage, he
entered Yale College; graduated in 1769, and in due course took the degree of A.
M. He studied theology with the celebrated Dr. Bellamy of Bethlehem, Ct., and
was licensed as a Congregational clergyman. He preached as a candidate for
settlement on Long Island, and in Connecticut. In 1771 he was ordained and
settled in Middlefield, a parish in Middletown, Ct., and remained there about
fourteen years; and, during that time, by his address and efforts, he procured
the emancipation of all the slaves held by his people. During the war of the
revolution, he was a genuine and consistent whig. He left his people temporarily
to act as a chaplain in the army. He was one of the last in the retreat from
Long Island, and was in the battles of White Plains and Harlaem. In 1785 he
obtained a dismission from Middlefield, Ct., and was next settled at New
Lebanon, where he was installed June 8, 1786. He was, at his own request,
dismissed in 1791, his salary being greatly in arrears, the balance œ642 13s.
not having been paid until May 19, 1794, as appears by a receipt on the books of
the trustees. From New Lebanon he removed to North Salem, thence to Poundridge,
and thence to North Stamford, Ct., where his wife died. From North Stamford he
removed to Parsippany, N. J., thence to Roxbury, where he died Nov. 19, 1818,
aged 78. His fourth wife (wid. Sawyer of Cobleskill) survived him. In the
history of Middlesex Co., Ct., he is described as a man of strong and benevolent
affections, and an intelligent and able divine. He left behind him some
manuscripts, the result of great labor, particularly the one on the Book of
Revelations. An ingenious essay on Melchisedec, left by him in manuscript, was
published in one of the earliest numbers of the Christian Spectator. He also
left some philosophical and mechanical tracts on the tides and winds, and on
submarine navigation and attack, exhibiting a profound, ingenious and careful
intellect. He was a man of remarkably clear, well balanced and philosophical
mind, and of thorough education. He was offered a professorship in Yale College,
but did not accept it. The following is the inscription on his gravestone:
