The German Benedicts
Contributed by Elwyn E. Benedict, compiler of Volume II, The Genealogy of the Benedicts in America, 7949 Adams Road, Kirkville NY 13082

Elwyn E. Benedict, July 1995

Following are the German branches of Benedicts identified in the back of Vol. II of B of A. This has been condensed to indicate each starting point and brief sketches of one or two generations. I have corresponded with descendants of several of these families since publication of Volume II in 1969. They do not all agree with one another about the German connection, particularly in the case of III, John Benedict(k) (1745-1809). The page numbers refer to the pages in Volume II, Genealogy of the Benedicts in America. If you have more information on any of these families, please let me know [abbreviations used here are the same as for our queries on the back page.]

    In the book Foote Family Comprising the Genealogy and History of Nathaniel Foote of Wethersfield, Conn. and His Descendants" Vol. II by Abram W. Foote, pp. 656-657, I found the following two BENEDICT women not previously identified in either volume of The Benedicts in America. Hannah BENEDICT married 24 March 1693, Samuel ROYCE, born 1672, great-grandson of Nathaniel FOOTE, the settler. Mary BENEDICT married Isaac ROYCE, his brother, born 10 March 1688. They may have resided Wallingford, Connecticut. Samuel and Isaac ROYCE's mother Hannah (CHURCHILL) was born at Wethersfield, Connecticut, the daughter of Elizabeth (FOOTE) and Josiah CHURCHILL. The ROYCE/ BENEDICT line is carried no further in the FOOTE book. Consequently it is difficult to place these families in the BENEDICT family. Could they have been daughters of Thomas Benedict Jr. (born 164-, page 27, Vol. I), and granddaughters of Thomas the settler? The daughters' spouses were not named in B in A. [According to B in A Mary was born 4 Dec 1666, and would have made her about six years older than her spouse. Hannah, born 8 January 1675/6 would have been about 13 years older than her spouse. - ed. ]

    If you have further information about the ROYCE/ BENEDICT family descendants or the descendants of Hannah and Mary BENEDICT of page 27, Vol. I, please me know.

    Benedicts Compiled from Lancaster, Pennsylvania City and County Directories
    Contributed by Wayne Campbell, 1234 Lynda Lane, Warminster PA 18974-1949

    This compilation includes directories from 1843 to 1923. Apparently, the first Lancaster city directory was published in 1843. There are other directories in the Lancaster library, but most are close to the years researched. Some years the directory covered only the city and some years it covered the city and county.

    The table is sorted first by given name and then by the year of the directory. Except as noted below, the table does not use abbreviations, though the original did.

    The first column shows given names. All of the usual warnings apply. Names could be spelled and abbreviated in many different ways, and they were. Generally, the names in this table are spelled as they appeared in the directory.

    Four abbreviations are used in the second column.

    "H" means home, probably inferring ownership.

    "R" means residing at, probably inferring renting or living with relatives.

    "B" means boarded.

    "T" means tenant.

    Where there is no entry in this column, there was nothing in the directory.

    The third column shows either rural route number or street number. The fifth column shows the street name or township. A little knowledge of the streets of Lancaster city, and the townships of Lancaster county will be helpful here.

    The fifth column holds miscellaneous material taken from the directory. This is usually the place of employment. In some county directories, personal information was listed, including number of children, whether they owned land, or if they had a telephone. If so, it is included here.

    The year(s) of the directory is shown in the sixth column.

    The last column shows the spouse's name. Where a spouse is shown, they were living at the same address. Usually the wife's name was listed in parentheses. Widows are shown here.

    All are surnamed BENEDICT:

    From The Sentinel, Mt. Gilead, Morrow County, Ohio, Thursday 20 July 1893, Recollections of Aaron Benedict

    When we left Delaware [Ohio] there were but eight of us, all boys or young men. We found a Constable near Bellpoint, on the Scioto river. I handed him the warrant. He got on his horse, and we went on. By this time it was daylight, and we had no further trouble in following them. We caught up with them at West Jefferson, on the National road, 14 miles from Columbus. They had stopped here at a tavern. As soon as we ascertained this we had our horses put up and went into the bar-room. I recognized the man behind the bar as one, who a short time before, had been at our house inquiring for hogs. He set liquor and tumblers on the counter and invited anyone that wished to take a drink, saying it was free. (Remember, this was a long time before the tax on whisky.) Our Constable took a drink, and invited us to do the same, but we didn't. Soon the bar room was full with the rowdies of the town, most, if not all, patronized the free whisky. I told the Constable to serve the warrant. He took me to one side and told me he was afraid to arrest them and said they were dangerous men. I then demanded the warrant; he refused to give it up. I then was satisfied that he was in sympathy with the kidnappers. Mob violence was threatened us. This seemed rather to please our Constable than otherwise. We concluded that we couldn't accomplish anything, and returned home. We found Green nearly crazy with grief. He now knew that it would not be safe for him to remain here, as his whereabouts was discovered. He went to Canada and married a wife there. He had heard that his wife had died two years after she was taken back. After the war he came back here and lived a short time in Ashley. One of his children was living. He went to Kentucky, and found her married. She and her husband came back with him. The last we heard of them they were living in Van Wert county.

    Underground Railroad
    From The Sentinel, Mt. Gilead, Morrow County, Ohio, Thursday 27 July 1893, Recollections of Aaron Benedict

    The Scene transferred to Marion, Ohio
    Where, in True Southern Style, the Slaveholders Defiled the Law
    Attempting to Kidnap a Runaway Slave by Forcible Resistance, but Get the Worst of it in a Lively Melee

    1838 - A colored man ran away from his master in Kanawha Salt Works, West Virginia, making his way to Marion, Marion county, Ohio. Here he hired as a hostler at a tavern, believing that he had traveled so far that his master would not find him. Soon after, a man passing through Marion saw and knew him, and informed his master of his whereabouts. His master came, got a warrant, had him arrested, placed in jail and went back for witnesses. He was kept in jail forty days. A day or two before the trial the Sheriff's wife sent us word of the trial. She lived in this neighborhood before marriage (her maiden name was Moor), and knew our anti-slavery sentiments. Nine of us went to Marion, and, as far as I know, there are but two of us now living out of the nine, Martin Benedict and myself. There were others who took part with us that I did not know. One of them became violently insane; more of him hereafter.

    Arriving at Marion, I went to the jail and the Sheriff's wife let me in. I wanted to see the prisoner and ascertain all I could from him. He said that his master and six other men were there, that he knew all of them, and had belonged to three of them. One was a lawyer by the name of Goshorn who came to assist in getting the slave. After hearing the colored man's story, I concluded that it was a hopeless case, and that the only way he could be rescued would be by strategy, and left the jail.

    We then counseled together and made our plan of operation which was to hitch two of our fast horses in a certain place near the Court House ready for use if wanted. There was a free colored man there who had been trying to liberated the prisoner by digging and undermining the jail, and had nearly succeeded. We told this man our plans and invited him to assist us; he readily agreed to do so.

    I went with this man to the jail. I told them that as soon as the Judge gave his decision to start out and down the stairs; the prisoner was to follow the colored man, jump on the horses and hurry to an old swamp previously agreed upon. We were to block the stairs and keep the rest from going down until they could get to the horses.

    The next day Court set. The prisoner was brought into Court. The witnesses were sworn and the testimony commenced. They had bills of sale where he had been sold four times. Three of his former masters were present as witnesses, but I do not remember their names, but the present owner's name was John Smith. As there were no witnesses on the other side, the trial was soon over. Judge Bowen remanded the prisoner back to jail and said he would give his decision at 9 o'clock the next morning, and Court was then adjourned. All the witnesses testified readily and to the point that "the nigger belonged to Mr. Smith," and we had no hopes of the prisoner getting clear; I went to the jail that evening and told the prisoner that I had no hopes of him getting clear, but for him to try to get down the stairs as quickly as possible to the horse, and we would do all we could to prevent the others from following. He then said that he "had prayed for the Lord, as strong as a yoke of oxen can pull, to free me from my cruel master." Little did he or I think that his prayer was to be answered the next day!

    Next day Court again set. The prisoner was brought in and Judge Bowen gave his decision. It was quite lengthy, and at the close he said that one of the bills said that the prisoner belonged to one, John Smith; all the witnesses swore that he belonged to Mr. Smith, but failed to prove that he belonged to John Smith. The judge said, "Mr. Smith and John Smith might be two distinct persons, therefore I shall decide in favor of the prisoner." The Sheriff turned to the prisoner and told him he was free. As he arose to leave his master took hold of him and said, "You belong to me." The Sheriff told him to let go of the man. He drew a bowie knife and said he would have his nigger if he had to go to hell or Canada after him. The Sheriff then called upon the by-standers to arrest him and all others that interfered with him. Immediately there was a rush made for the colored man on both sides. Then commenced a scene that would be hard to describe, pulling, hauling, tearing of clothes, etc. We tried to block the way and not let them down stairs, but they soon started down taking the blockade with them, all mixed up, friend and foe. When we got to the foot of the stairs I had hold of the colored man's arm. He was struggling to free himself from the two men who had hold of him. The colored man grabbed my arm near my shoulder and held onto it as though in a vise. The slaveholder and his aids formed a ring around us flourishing knives, pistols and clubs, hallooing at the crowd, "stand back, stand back!"

    Women were at the upper windows screaming as we went past. We went north, I should think fifteen rods, crossing the street to the west side where there was a small building I took to be some kind of a shop. In front of this the colored man made an extra effort to free himself. He still held onto my arm. Several times men took hold of me to pull me away, but did not succeed. The would-be master threatened to shoot me. A stone was thrown at him which just grazed his face. This so exasperated him that he held the muzzle of his pistol within a few inches of my breast and snapped it: I saw the smoke of the cap as it exploded. The Sheriff told me to come away. The Sheriff then, ordered out the militia. They succeed in hauling the colored man into the building and shutting the door.

    There was a post and rail fence back of the building. Rails were got and the door punched in. Instantly a man stood in the door swinging a bowie knife back and forth, saying, "Stand back, stand back!" By this time men were there with muskets with bayonets on them. One man came running with three or four muskets, handing them to any one who would take them, keeping one himself. He ran up in front of the man in the door and made a thrust at him. His brother caught his arm and turned the bayonet. It entered the door casing and was bent around like a fish-hook. I saw at once that the man was excitedly insane, and it took his brother and two other men to disarm him. The man in the door sprang back. Cyrus Benedict and Eben Daniel, of Shaw Creek, then went in. I heard lively times inside.

    I soon saw the fugitive and his colored friend run from the back end of the building, Goshorn, the lawyer, after them, and Cyrus Benedict after Goshorn. They ran across Main street and down a street running east. Cyrus caught Goshorn as they ran and threw him, falling on top. Another one of the Virginians came running up and struck Cyrus a glancing blow on the side of his head with a pistol, cutting his head so it bled freely. Cyrus clinched with him and threw him; they rolled over and over several times. Cyrus' brother, William came up and seeing his brother covered with blood, supposed he had been cut with a knife, and under the excitement struck the Virginian a pretty severe blow. This put a stop to any further trouble with him. Goshorn was sitting up in the street vomiting blood. The Sheriff soon came and took them to jail. This ended the affray.

    I then went in search of the fugitive. I found him and the free colored man at the old swamp heretofore mentioned. I told them to secrete themselves there and we would be along about 9 o'clock that night. I then took a roundabout way back to town. I learned that all the Virginians were in jail; that they had had handcuffs in the out-building where they took the fugitive, and a team near by to covey him away. We left town severally, so that we would not be followed, taking different roads with the understanding that we should all meet at a certain place. All worked without any mishap. Martin Benedict took the colored man in his buggy and we came home that night. Martin took the colored man to his father's Reuben Benedict. Here he was secreted in the garret. He was kept here until the excitement died away.

    Aaron L. Benedict, Griffith Levering and myself took him one night and went two miles north of Fredericktown to a Friends settlement. He we stayed all day, and the next night went to Greenwich, Huron county, to another settlement of Friends. The next night we went to Oberlin, where we place him in safe hands and returned home. We afterwards learned that he landed safe in Canada.
