Regarding the Benedict and St John names that I have seen on the Roll call
messages; they are connected way back in my research:

Mary Benedict, b. 4 Dec 1699 in Norwalk, Fairfield CT; d. 1761; m. Daniel St
John - she is the sister of my 7th gr. grandfather Samuel Benedict b. 31 Jan
1703/04; m. 1724 Jemimah Canfield. I have info for three more generations
back. Contact me if interested.

St Johns are also in our line way back, though I have very limited
information: Another 7th gr. grandfather John Benedict b. 3 Mar 1675/76 in
Norwalk, Fairfield CT; d. 16 Jan 1706; m. 1693 Anna St John b. 1674.

Again, contact me if interested. There was so much intermarrying among
cousins and between families, and almost every family had a Mary Benedict -
it can get confusing and I have some pretty reliable research.

There's a distant Benedict connection, although I don't know alot about
this
family.
(I just found out about the connection a couple of months ago.)

Sarah Benedict (1840 - 1923) daugher of Daniel Benedict and Nancy Weldon
married Rummer Henry Atwell (1835 - 1911). Their second daughter Eudora
Marie
Atwell married William Henry Simmons (my great grandparents).

There were a number of St. John's living off of Oxbow Hollow Road.

Dear "Shindie2" (you didn't say your name. :-)

My 6th great-grandmother was Mary Benedict, b. 4 Dec 1699, Norwalk,
Fairfield County, CT, d. 1761. She married Daniel St. John. I don't know

where Mary or Daniel died, but their son Peter St. John died in Walton,
Delaware County in 1811.
I also have a Mary Benedict enumerated in the household of my 3rd
great-granduncle, Thaddeus Seymour St. John in Walton in the 1880 census.
She was 50 at the time and is listed as "servant."

Do you think we have any connection?
