Notes for CAPTAIN BENJAMIN BENEDICT:

Moved to Salem about 1776, and then to Patterson before the century ended. He was Presbyterian in faith, and was a Deacon. He served in the Continental Army during the Revolution.   In 1777, he was in the campaign on the northern frontier but most of his service was perforrmed in Westchester Co, as his home was close to the line or "neutral ground." So, his family was constantly in peril from British raids.  He also belonged to the minute-men and a member of the group who guarded Major Andre during his time of captivity and trial.

"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. Patterson, Oct. 17, 1832.

Military service: 04 May 1780, Appointed Ensign59
