- DEATHS. OBIT
Benedict, Deacon Gould, in Clinton, county of Oneida, N.Y., August 7, 1868, aged 92 years, 6 months and 3 days. He was the son of Dea. Isaac Benedict, of New Canaan, Conn., and grandson of Dea. Nathaniel, of Norwalk, Ct., who was descended from Thomas Benedict, who came from Nottinghamshire, England, to Massachusetts in 1638 and who finally settled with his family, in Norwalk in 1665, and was the ancestor of nearly all the Benedicts in this country.
The father, grandfather, and great grandfather of Dea. Gould, each died in their ninetieth year. His direct ancestors for over one hundred and forty years held the office of Deacon in the church of Norwalk, while he and his father held that office over seventy years. Dea. Benedict was one of the earlier settlers of Clinton, removing there in 1798, when nearly all that county was a wilderness. His journey between Schenectady and Clinton was made on horseback. During his residence there, of nearly seventy years, he contributed much to the growth and prosperity of the town, and his influence, both on the church and community, was that of "a good man."
