   1. A "Capt. Timothy Benedict" died in Ridgefield, Connecticut on May 12, 1791 at the age of 82 years.  This is not confirmed as our Timothy Benedict without further research.  Also noted on this web page: "Phillis, an adult negro maid belonging to Capt. Tim() Benedict, baptised Oct. 3, 1790."  Per the Ridgebury Church Records of Ridgefield, Connecticut 1769-1857; as found at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford, Connecticut, and transcribed to "Rays Place - Explore New England's Past" website, URL: www.rays-place.com.
   1. The ranking of "Captain" appears in the Henry%CITE{1001}% book but is not substantiated by official records of the American Revolution, to this date.  J.B.
