3451 There were many Bensons at Mendon, Mass. Benoni Benson settled there about 1710. There was also an Isaac Benson who shared in the 8th division of lands in Mendon in 1756 and later in the 9th division.

Benoni Benson built and lived on the Benson homestead at Chestnut Hill (Mendon) about 1721. He continued to live there for about 40 years, until his death in 1761. He had but two sons, Joseph and Benoni. To the former who married about 1737(sic) he made a deed of gift of the westerly part of his farm in 1734, on which he had previously erected a house, probably at the time of the son's marriage in 1731. He was succeeded in the occupation of the homestead by his son, Benoni, who had previously, and perhaps sometime after his father's death, lived at Millville, and owned the grist mill, and part of the saw mill at that place. He also kept a public house at Millville on the site of which the Buffum mansion was afterwards built, and continued to keep one at Chestnut Hill after his return to the old homestead.

This individual and his wife Abigail are still remembered by the old inhabitants as landlord and landlady Benson.

The landlord and his son John, after the marriage of the later, lived on the homestead together until the death of the father, after which time, John, or Deacon Benson, by which name he was best known, lived there till he died in 1819, when his son, Jared, known as Captain Jared, and later in life as Jared Benson, Esq., succeeded to the possession and occupied it till his death in 1854. Since then his son, Jared Benson, Jr., lived on the homestead till 1856, and then his son, Sylvanus H. Benson, who is the present occupant of a part of the same, lives in a stone house built on the south side of the road. The house on the north side of the road being the site of the ancient homestead, has been occupied by tenants since 1856 but belongs to Jared Benson, Esq., last above named, who has removed to Anoka, on the Mississippi River, 50 miles above St. Paul, Minn.

3457 They lived on Bouck Island, across the Schoharie River from Anna's brother, Hieronymous (Jeronimus) , in Fultonham about ten miles south of the Village of Schoharie. Her grandson, William Christian Bouck, became Governor of the State of NY between 1842 and 1844. Family F3224
 
3458 They lived on Staten Island until 1726, where it seems Benjamin was engaged as a farmer or yeoman. His mark for cattle, sheep, and horses was recorded in Richmond County, 10 Dec 1722.

"Bengiman Corson his Mark for his Chattle & sheep & horses (horses crossed out). A half penny in the under Side of the left ear and for his horses branded with letters B.K. upon the Left Buttick."

Benjamin Corssen and his wife, three children and atleast on stepchild, Blandina Janse van Woggelum, moved in the spring of 1726 to Bucks County, Pennsylvania from New York a 60-70 mile trip through the wilderness. They moved to a 250 acre farm which they had bought from Jeremiah Dungan and his wife Mary (North Hampton twp, one-half mile below the present Addisville). The deed was dated 19 May 1726. Benjamin brought his wife and son, Benjamin, who was about 7 years old at the time. Other Huguenot families settled in Northampton township. The settlers erected a small log building to serve as church and school house. The Corsons lived the remainder of their lives on the farm purchased from the Dungans.

Benjamin deeded his property in Staten Island which he inherited from his father Cornelis Corson to his brother Jacob Corson. This deed was dated 24 March 1733.

[The following is in error when it refers to the CORSSEN family as Huguenots]

The Corsons, of this and other counties, are descended from Benjamin, son of Cornelius Courson, or Corssen, a Huguenot who left France in 1685 and settled on Staten Island. Benjamin Corson, a son, came to Northampton [Bucks*] county, 1726, and bought 250 acres of Jeremiah Dungan for 350 pounds, on the Middle road, just below Richborough, which was in the family one hundred years. The father died on Staten Island [in 1692-3, his will being probated Dec. 1, 1693.*] Benjamin brought with him to Bucks county his son Benjamin, born 1719 and died in 1774 at fifty-five. His wife was Mary Seidam (2) born 1721, died 1792, aged seventy-one. She and her husband were buried in the graveyard at Richboro. The first Benjamin Corson was buried in the middle of the aisle of the old Reformed Dutch church, North and Southampton, near the Buck tavern in the latter township. Benjamin Corson the second had eight children: Benjamin, grandfather of Doctor Hiram Corson, Plymouth, Montgomery county; Richard, father of Doctor Richard Corson, New Hope; Cornelius; Henry, grandfather of William Corson of Doylestown; John who died on the old homestead in 1823, married Charity Vansant and had two daughters, Jane and Mary; Abraham; Mary, who married Enoch Marple and left several children in Montgomery county; and Jeannette, who married John Krewson. Benjamin, eldest son of Benjamin the second, married Sarah Dungan, and had eleven sons and daughters who married into the families of Harvey, Bennet, Blaker and Morris. Of this family of eleven children all were living and in good health when the youngest was seventy fifty*] years of age. They were large, strong and healthy, but are now [1876] all dead. The family are numerous and scattered into various parts of the country. Alongside the Corsons in the old graveyard at Richborough, lie the remains of DuBois, Krewson, Larzelere and other Dutch and Huguenot settlers and their descendants.

3467 This account appeared in the February 28, 1827, issue of the Auburn Free Press.

"Mr. Townsend was one of the first settlers in Canaan, having lived there about 70 years. He buried three wives and now has become the husband of the fourth in his second childhood. After the guests had assembled, nearly 3 hours were spent in settling the conditions of their union, when a compromise was made and they were joined in 'Hymen's bonds'. No goose so grey, but soon or late, may find a silly gander for a mate."

This interesting account had at least one inaccuracy in that Timothy had not lived there for 70 years but for a total of 52 years.

3473 This family, except for the last child, Sarah, was found in the early records of Boston reprinted in NEHGR. Sarah born 1663 in Boston came from the Ancestral File and is not proved part of this family.

3492 This sixth day of ninth month One Thousand Eight hundred and eleven, I William White, of the town of Washington, in Duchess County, and state of New York, considering the shortness and uncertainty of time here and being favoured with sound disposing mind and memory, and believing it to be necessary and right to make a Distribution of my outward estate that I am favoured with, by will in the following manner, viz:

IMPRIMIS: It is my will and I do hereby direct my executors hereafter named, in the first place to collect my money and pay all my just debts and funeral expenses.

ITEM: I give and bequeath to my loving wife Ruth all the money she has at her command, and all my household furniture as long as she remains my widow, then I give the remainder that she leaves, to my two daughters, Hannah and Ruth, and to my eight grandchildren, the children of my daughter Ruth deceased, viz: John, Silas, Ruth, Hannah Eunice, Henry, Alfred and William, viz: two thirds to my two daughters and one third to my above named eight grandchildren, to be equally divided between them.

I further give to my said wife, Ruth, the use of my dwelling house, and the use of one equal third part of my farm that I now live on, and one of my best cows and six sheep, during the time that she remains my widow.

his mark.

A mistake was evidently made in the wording of the above will, by Isaac Thorn who drew it up, and Eunice's child did not receive anything from their grandfather's estate. William White evidently meant Thorn to say Eunice in place of Ruth, who died before her father, where he said "to my two daughters Hannah and Ruth, and to my eight grand-children, the children of my daughter Ruth deceased". Isaac Thorn learned of the mistake, and told Silas Deuel, the husband of William White's daughter Ruth, and he, Silas Deuel, voluntarily paid over to Eunice White's children that part of his wife's portion which he considered would have been theirs had the will been properly drawn.

There is a military record for this William, Sr., and his son William, Jr., brother of Eunice.

3494 This was a second marriage for both Peter and Anna. William and Hazel Blik stood as witnesses at the wedding. Family F72
 
3495 This was Aunt Lina's second marriage. She divorced Maurits Bisdom. According to the family, Uncle Maurice Bisdom died and she married Joseph Krause. Their daughter, Marie died when a young child. Family F44
 
3496 This was Harry's first marriage and Hazel's second. They were married by Elliott D. Prescott, Judge of Probate, in the presence of Ruth Thompson and Maude L. Irwin. It appears from the record that the Judge was from Roscommon Co which was the residence of Wm. C. Bryant at the time. Family F161
 
3497 This was probably the William Trask aboard the "Zouch Phenix", the consort of the "Unity", which sailed for Cape Ann in 1624. It is believed she sailed from Weymouth, Dorset, and brought at least sixteen passengers who settled at Cape Anne. Anderson gives and immigration date of 1628 in the Great Migration.

Perley says that Captain Trask came to Salem in 1628 on the ship "Abigail", Henry Gauden, Master. They sailed from Weymouth, England, 20 June 1628 and arrived in Naumkeag 6 Sept 1628. Also on board was John Endecott.

William was probably a military officer with the title of captain. He was a miller in Salem and lived easterly of the Trask Burial Ground. On 29, 7 mo., 1640 (and several other occasions) William Trask was admonished to be more careful about grinding and toll taking. Richard Inkersell testified he had received short weight in grists. On the 25th of the 11th month 1641, Capt. Traske was sentenced for neglecting training three times and keeping an insufficient miller. 18 June 1660, William Trask, Sr., vs. Thomas Robbins for defamation in saying that Susan, daughter of said Trask, ran after everybody and was "common for everybody".

Depositions of William Traske gave his age as follows: 77 in 1664, and 69 in 1657.

William's will was written 15 May 1666 and mentions his wife, Sarah, and all of the children except Eliza. He signed "W". Joseph Boice witnessed the will with his mark, "O". The will was proved in Salem Court 28: 4: 1666, the 28th of June as this is an old style date. His inventory was brought into court 15 June 1666 with a total of 364 pounds.
