    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Name: James Benedict
    • Note: 1689, Norwalk, Fairfield, CT

    Notes:

    Note:
    John succeeded his father as a selectman in 1689. He was a selectman in 1692-94 and 1699 and also held some minor civil appointments in the town. He was occupied, however, mainly with church affairs, having become a Deacon, probably, upon the death of his father. Thenceforth the records show him to have been constantly on committees having charge of the religious and educational interests of the community, now "obtaining a ministr," then "hyering a schoolmaster." In 1705 the church honored him by voting him a sitting "in ye seat before ye pulpit." He served as representative in the General Assembly in the sessions of 1722 and 1725. The date of his death cannot be ascertained, nor is that of his wife. The volume of probate records, which probably covered the time within which they died, unfortunately is missing. He conveyed property to his sons James and Joseph of Ridgefield, in 1722 and 1723; and that he was living in 1727 is thought to be certain because his son is referred to as Deacon John Benedict, Junior.
