Notes for LEWIS
BENEDICT:
"Henry Marvin Benedict, The Genealogy of the
Benedicts in America, (Joel Munsell, 82 State Street, Albany, NY, 1870), pages
228-233."
278. LEWIS7 (Uriah,6 Uriah,5 Thomas,4 Thomas,3
John,2 Thomas1), b. Nov. 7, 1785, at Milton, Saratoga Co.; m. at Albany, Jan.
14, 1812, Susan, dau. Spencer and Dorothea (Hallenbake) Stafford,(*) who was b.
July 1, 1791, in Albany. He received from nature a physical organization of rare
perfection and vigor, and his intellect was after the fashion of the body it
animated, robust, masculine, and active even to restlessness. An uncommonly
inquisitive spirit led him to scrutinize closely whatever passed within his
notice, and when, at the age of twenty, he left Milton to reside in Albany,
there were few things in rural economy, or in business as then done, that he did
not perfectly understand. In 1806, having attained legal age, he was admitted a
partner in the firm of Marvin Benedict & Co., which his father had established
in Albany the year before. In 1813, this firm was dissolved by the death of
Uriah Benedict. In 1815 he became a partner in the firm of his father-in-law,
Staffords, Spencer & Co. The hardware business proved especially agreeable to
him, and he never forsook it during his business life. His connection with his
father-in-law, in mercantile relations, ceased in 1825, and never was renewed.
Thenceforth, he was senior in all his partnerships, and they were numerous.
Although he was, himself, always a resident of Albany, he had partners and
establishments elsewhere, at various times, especially in Utica, Rochester and
New York. His activity, enterprise and public spirit, soon placed him in the
front rank of the leading men of the city; and every project designed to
increase its business, wealth, population or attractiveness, found in him an
energetic supporter. Having taken an active part in establishing the Commercial
Bank, in 1826, he was appointed one of its first board of directors, and he
remained one, so long as he was in business. He was, also, a director of the
Albany Insurance Company. About the same time he became greatly interested in
promoting steam navigation on the Hudson river, and was stockholder and director
in several associations formed for that purpose. In 1833, the Utica and
Schenectady rail road company was incorporated, and he was named a corporator.
He was also chosen director on the organization of the company, and was
continued in the board until 1847, when he declined to serve longer. The
construction of this road was attended with difficulties hardly to be imagined
now. There was no precedent for anything; a very few short lines of rail road
only having been built in the country at that time. As a member of the executive
committee of the board, he devoted days and nights to the service of the
corporation. The then engineer of construction, and, subsequently,
superintendent for fifteen consecutive years, William C. Young, writing in 1862,
of Mr. Benedict's connection with the enterprise, says: "His influence was
positive and effective in the organization and management of the Utica and
Schenectady rail road, and contributed to a successful result in general and in
detail, and that inaugurated a system of economy and practicabilities in the
rail road system, which was the prevailing one for the time." The Albany and
West Stockbridge rail road received his support from its inception, and he
served it as a director for many years. He held the same relation to the
Saratoga and Schenectady rail road, and took a leading part in its location,
construction and management. The public works of internal improvement,
especially the canals, were objects of much interest and solicitude to him.
Ex-canal commissioner, Asa Whitney, says: "The canal system of the state was
then (1839) occupying a prominent place in the public mind, particularly the
enlargement of the Erie canal. Mr. Benedict was among the most prominent and
efficient advocates of prosecuting the enlargement to completion. My connection
with the project as a canal commissioner, brought me in contact with the most
prominent men of the state, who interested themselves in the question; and the
opinions of none were more respected and deferred to, than those of Lewis
Benedict."
It would not consist with the limits or the design of this paper to recount
with even an approximation to completeness, the multiform labors Mr. Benedict
performed, the sacrifices of business and money he offered, the anxieties and
trials he endured through long years, in order to advance the cause of good
government and universal freedom. To do that, would require a history of all the
phases of faith that parties exhibited, and the vicissitudes of fortune they
encountered during his long life, together with a narrative of his personal
experiences that alone would fill a volume. It is enough to say that, in
devising, recruiting, and cherishing the political organizations whose course,
at times, seemed erratic and its aims shifting, to such as knew not of a certain
steady purpose, of which the farsighted statesmen who shaped its ends never lost
sight; and which finally disclosed its true mission in the sublime exhibitions
of force and patience made by the republican party of the Civil War, he was
efficient and faithful; and although darker days than the liberal party saw in
the course of its protracted struggle never dawned upon the country, neither the
hope nor the spirits of its leaders ever flagged. The day is past when any can
contemn the wisdom, doubt the patriotism, or deny the services of that
illustrious triumvirate, "Seward, Weed, and Greeley," and escape the imputation
that themselves are neither wise, patriotic, nor truthful. of the little company
who shared in the councils of which this party was born, who framed its issues,
organized its forces, planned its campaigns and then fought them, who moderated
its triumphs and retrieved its defeats, by all of which its growth was first
protected and then assured, next to those eminent men, who comes, if not Lewis
Benedict, with his fertile brain, his tireless and gratuitous industry, his
invincible courage?
Three of Mr. Benedict's colaborers, fitted by long and intimate association
to speak of his qualities, and from their position the best acquainted with the
nature, extent, and value of his services, have recorded their opinions of him
and his works. On an occasion which made it proper for Mr. Weed to speak in this
behalf, he said: "In the darkest days of Jacksonism and Van Burenism, when the
Albany regency wielded with an iron despotism the power of the general, state,
and city governments, Mr. Benedict was foremost, in services and sacrifices,
among the few who upheld the whig banner. As chairman of the whig state
committee, for six memorable years, he was the political engineer who organized
and guided the whig phalanx. To him there were no terrors in defeat. Beaten in
one campaign he immediately set about a reorganization for another. In 1837 he
established the Jeffersonian, a paper which contributed largely to the successes
which followed. In the great presidential conflict of 1840, Mr. Benedict,
abandoning his own business, gave himself up to the whig party. * * * Further
back, in 1824, he aided essentially in carrying this state for John Quincy
Adams, as President. After our success in 1837, Mr. Benedict was invited to take
the office of state treasurer, but he declined that and other stations."
Governor Seward, addressing him in 1843, wrote: "* * * there would have been no
successful whig party without your energetic and indomitable efforts." Mr.
Greeley, in an obituary notice, said: "He was probably more influential in the
politics of our state for a series of years, than any other private citizen."
In domestic and social relations, Mr. Benedict revealed softnesses and
sympathies which a somewhat brusque manner, and a positiveness in statement
quite common with him, gave no token that he possessed. He had a high respect
for science and learning, but to his desire to promote their diffusion was added
an equally strong one to patronize every means devised by religious
thoughtfulness for the spread of the gospel, and especially for every means of
instruction that promised to increase the knowledge and elevate the morals of
the youth of the country. His conspicuous connection with public questions and
party management, made him acquainted with men of parallel pursuits and
position, of all shades of political belief, and it was one of his pleasures to
assemble them in his own home, as if to demonstrate how completely he excluded
from the sacred retreats of private life, the asperities and antagonisms in
which he so freely indulged outside of those enclosures. These hospitable modes
characterized his social life during his long career as a politician and
merchant.
The 14th of January, 1862, was the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage,
and he commemorated it by a golden wedding. Notwithstanding the expectation of
life reasonably justified by his high physical and mental condition on that
evening, in six months thereafter Lewis Benedict had no existence save in
memory. He died July 15th, 1862.
Mrs. Benedict survived more than seven years, dying Dec. 30, 1869. She was
a woman whose prominent characteristics were of the kind that command respect
and win regard. She devoted herself to the duties that belonged to the varying
relations of her life. As a daughter she was dutiful to a degree that evoked the
blessing of her father on his death-bed, because she had never caused him an
anxiety in all her life. As a wife and mother she was a model of tenderness and
fidelity toward her husband, and of love and thoughtfulness for her children.
She assumed the obligations of religion, and confessed those she owed to the
world around her; discharging the one class with diligence and fervency of
spirit, and the other with charity for the infirmities of the weak and erring,
sympathy for the afflicted, help for the needy, encouragement for the
struggling, and applause for such as did well. She was singularly discreet in
speech, and always mindful of the interests of peace, so that she lived
encompassed by friends, and died without an enemy. (See Memorial of Lewis and
Susan Benedict.)

LEWIS, b. Sept. 2, 1817. His early studies were
prosecuted at Aurora, Cayuga Co., but his preparation for college was made
mainly at the Albany Academy. In 1834 he entered the sophomore class of Williams
College, and graduated in 1837. Three years after he delivered the Master's
Oration. As a boy, he was noted for his zeal and diligence in study, and not
less for enterprise in play. The records of the Albany Academy attest his
success in competitive examinations; and it is well remembered, by many who
shared in them, how, after sweeping the prizes for scholarship, he would resort
to the play ground, and exhibit equal superiority in those games and contests,
which are alike the peril and delight of robust and ambitious boyhood. His
collegiate career resembled his academic--it was successful to whatever degree
he chose to make it. While a student of the law, he maintained sufficient ardor
of pursuit to enable him to acquire a knowledge of the elements of that science;
but his taste for general literature was decided enough to save him from
engrossment by studies purely professional. His legal studies were directed by
the Hon. John C. Spencer, at Canandaigua, and on his admission to the bar, in
January, 1841, Marcus T. Reynolds, then at the zenith of his professional fame
and intellectual vigor, received him as his partner in the law. He was
subsequently admitted to the state and federal courts. In 1845 he was appointed
city attorney, and was reappointed for a second term. In 1847 he was appointed
judge advocate general, on the staff of Gov. John Young. In 1848 he was elected
surrogate of the city and county of Albany for four years. In 1849 he was
appointed judge advocate general by Gov. Hamilton Fish. In 1852, and again in
1860, he received the whig nomination for city recorder. In 1854 he was
appointed one of the three commissioners to report on the pecuniary and other
conditions of the several state prisons, and to devise laws for their better
regulation and discipline. The committee made a voluminous report to the
assembly in 1855. In the fall of 1860 he was nominated by the union men of the
district for member of assembly, and was the only union candidate elected from
the county. His political career closed in 1860. He was always a leader. He was
often delegate to conventions, state and county, chairman of committees, general
and local, a prolific author of addresses and resolutions, and a frequent
speaker at political assemblages. As a surrogate the clearness of his mind and
the equity of his convictions receive some illustration from the circumstance
that of the many judgments pronounced by him, during his considerable term, but
one, and that made in his noviciate, is known to have been reversed by an
appellate tribunal. On the outbreak of the rebellion, he early offered his
services to the governor. Declining offers of higher positions, to which, as a
civilian, he feared himself unsuited, he finally accepted the lieutenant
colonelcy of the Second Fire Zouaves (73d N. Y. Vols.). This regiment made a
part of the Excelsior Brigade under Gen. Sickles, took part in the siege of
Yorktown, and was the first to plant its colors upon the ramparts after the
evacuation of the place by the rebels. The battle of Williamsburgh, May 5th,
1862, followed, and Col. B. was taken prisoner while bringing up the reserve to
reinforce the extreme left which was being persistently assailed by the rebel
General Joseph E. Johnston. He was taken to Libby prison, and thence to
Salisbury, North Carolina. He was exchanged August 10, 1862, and his exchange
was officially announced September 30, 1862. He came home in wretched health,
but careful nursing saved his life. He was, as soon as his condition permitted,
appointed by Gov. Morgan, colonel 162d New York volunteers. The regiment was
ordered to, and arrived at New Orleans, December 15, 1862. About January 10,
1863, Col. Benedict was ordered to Donaldsonville, sixty miles above New
Orleans, and was acting brigadier-general at that post. He commanded a brigade
at the battle of Port Hudson, June 14, 1863, where his calm bravery excited the
admiration of all who witnessed it. The next day Gen. Banks called for one
thousand volunteers to storm the enemy's works. Col. B. volunteered to lead one
of the two battalions, but the fall of Vicksburg made the attack unnecessary,
and the forlorn hope lost the opportunity of illustrating its bravery and
patriotism. About the middle of August Gen. Banks reorganized the army, and put
Col. Benedict in command of the First Brigade, Third Division of the Nineteenth
Army Corps. He was engaged in the expedition against Sabine city under Gen.
Franklin, and soon afterward was ordered to Brashear city, in western Louisiana.
In the skirmish near Vermillion Bayou, he had the satisfaction of stopping the
advance of the rebels who were driving our cavalry before them. His position was
so well taken that his small force succeeded in repulsing the large masses of
the enemy with a loss of but five killed and wounded. February 2, 1864, he
arrived at Franklin, La., where the army was concentrated. Here was organized
the Red River expedition. Col. B. was assigned to the command of the Third
Brigade, First Division (Gen. Emory) Nineteenth Army Corps. The army moved the
15th of March. On the 8th of April, fifteen miles beyond Pleasant Hill, which
was reached by the main army on the 7th, was fought the sanguinary battle of
Pleasant Grove, which ended in a victory for the nationals, just as darkness
covered the scene. "Nothing," said Gen. Banks in his report, "could surpass in
impetuosity the assault of the enemy, but the inflexible steadiness and valor of
our troops. The First Division of the Nineteenth Army Corps, by its great
bravery in this action, saved the army and navy." Col. Benedict was especially
commended for the manner in which he handled his brigade, which was mainly
instrumental in effecting this repulse. The rebels receiving reinforcements,
renewed the fight on the 9th, at Pleasant Hill, to which place our army had
fallen back. The Third Brigade was posted, unsupported, on the extreme left of
the line of battle. Towards evening the enemy made a desperate attempt to carry
this, our weakest position, falling with several brigades upon Col. Benedict's
small force of about 2,000 men. "Outnumbered as well as outflanked, and being
without any near support, his brigade fell steadily back, fighting gallantly as
they were pushed up the acclivity of Pleasant Hill. In the conflict down the
slope at the first shock of the onset, and while rallying his men to a charge,
Col. Benedict fell, pierced by five bullets." Lossing adds: "No better or more
beloved soldier and citizen than he, gave his life for his country during the
war." He was buried with civic and military honors in the Albany Rural Cemetery,
May 2, 1864. His nomination as brevet brigadier-general United States
volunteers, "for gallant conduct at Port Hudson, to date from March 13, 1865,"
was confirmed by the senate July 23, 1866. (See Memorial Brevet

HENRY MARVIN, b. Sept. 16, 1827. His preparatory
education was received at the Albany Academy, and at boarding schools in
Pittsfield and Williamstown, Mass.; entered Williams College, 1842, and remained
connected therewith until March, 1845, when disease terminated his studies and
made him an invalid for life. During the late Rebellion, he filled the
responsible position of chief clerk in the United States Disbursing office, at
Albany, and sent to the field a representative recruit. January, 1865, he was
appointed, by Gov. Fenton, an acting Asst. Adjt. General, holding, also, the
commission of Major, and, subsequently, of Colonel. Resigned the position of A.
A. A. G., Dec., 1865. The degree of A. B. was conferred upon him by Williams

"While fitting for college, at Franklin, Delaware
county, in 1814, he was drafted into the army during the absence of his father,
and ordered to march the next day for the defense of New York, then threatened
with an attack by the British fleet. He remained in the service about two
months, when his father procured a substitute for him, and he returned to his
studies. He was examined and passed for admission to Hamilton College, but, the
family removing to Chatham, he entered, Sept., 1815, the sophomore class of
Williams College, and graduated in 1818, with the highest honors. After
graduating he was, successively, principal of the academy in Westfield, Mass.,
tutor three years in Williams College, principal of the academy in Newburgh,
professor in the University of Vermont, where he filled the chairs of
mathematics, natural philosophy, chemistry and natural history, teaching
chemistry in the university and in the medical college. He was secretary of the
board of trustees for many years, and at separate periods was treasurer. In 1847
he closed his connection with the institution in consequence of ill health.
During his professorship, while Prof. Farrand N. Benedict was engaged in the
surveys and observations of the mountains of Northern New York, Prof. G. W. B.
made observations at Burlington to synchronize with those at the superior
stations, and their merit was acknowledged in Prof. Emmons's Geology of New
York. In the language of one of his associate professors, who was in constant
intimacy with him for many years: 'The University of Vermont, apparently
expiring from the effects of the War of 1812, and from subsequent calamities, he
inspired with new life. It is not invidious to his associates, who labored with
him through this trying period of the institution, to say that he was
preeminently efficient in originating and executing the measures that ultimately
resulted in its renewed prosperity. Some of them have since been adopted by most
of the American colleges. The course of study was remodeled, systematized, and
enlarged, the standard of scholarship elevated, and a more vigorous discipline
enforced. His paternal and genial intercourse with the students, gained for him
a popularity among them that was rarely interrupted. He brought to bear upon the
multiplied subjects of thought and labor to which the necessities of the
institution called him, a clear and active mind, versatile powers and general
erudition.' He was afterwards for many years connected with the public press, as
proprietor and editor of the Burlington Free Press, a daily and weekly
newspaper. He was twice elected to the senate of Vermont, after which he
declined all candidacy for political office, although he has never ceased to
feel a deep and patriotic interest in public affairs. He received the degree of
LL. D. from the University of Vermont. A discourse delivered by him before the
literary societies of the University of Vermont, on New England educational
Institutions in relation to American Government, was published in 1844. He has
resided at Burlington since 1825."

271. ERASTUS CORNELIUS7 LL. D. (Rev. Joel Tyler,6
Rev. Abner,5 Peter,4 James,3 John,2 Thomas1), b. March 19, 1800, Branford, Ct.;
m. May 7, 1833, Caroline Margaret, dau. Moses Bloodgood of New York, b. Sept. 2,
1809. "The family removed to New York in 1803. In early life he had some
experience in teaching, commencing in a common school in 1816, and ending as a
tutor in Williams College in 1824. He entered the sophomore class in September,
1818, and graduated in 1821, when he took charge of the academy in Johnstown,
and subsequently taught in the academy in Newburgh. As tutor in college, he
taught the class of 1825 when juniors, and the class of 1826 when sophomores.
His professional studies completed, at the end of the year 1824 he entered upon
the practice of the law in the city of New York, where he has ever since been,
and is now, a successful practitioner. When the common school system was
extended to the city of New York, he was chosen among the first trustees of
common schools, and subsequently, in 1850, was elected a member of the board of
education for the city, of which board he was president for several years. He
resigned his office as member of the board of education, in 1863, not, however,
until he was generally recognized as among the first who were instrumental in
consolidating and maturing the entire school system of New York city. The
services he rendered--cooperating with likeminded men--in rearing the free
academy, now the College of New York, are admitted by all. He was among the
select number who confessedly laid the foundations of that 'Areopagus and royal
home' of college advantages for the masses, in the city of N. Y. In 1855, he was
appointed, by the legislature, one of the Board of Regents of the University of
the State, which office he still holds. In 1840, he was elected a member of the
common council of the city of New York. In 1848, he was a member of the state
legislature, as, also, in 1864. He is an elder in the Reformed church, and was a
member of the general synod in 1868. Mr. B. is the author of The American
Admiralty, of which a new and enlarged edition is this year (1870) published; of
A Run through Europe, a book of travels, of which the third edition was
published in 1868; of the Hymn of Hildebert, and other medi'val hymns, with
translations, of which a new and enlarged edition was published in 1869, and of
various pamphlets, reviews, speeches, and addresses, on literary, religious, and
political subjects, published at different times during the last thirty years,
including The Beginning of America, the anniversary discourse before the New
York Historical Society in 1863. In 1840, he delivered the anniversary address
before the society of alumni of Williams College, and has established several
prizes in that college. His degree of LL. D. was given him by Rutgers College,
in 1865. This record, like all such, necessarily furnishes only a very imperfect
view of Mr. Benedict's long and earnest professional and literary life. He
assumed with confidence the grave responsibilities of manhood, when a mere boy,
and from that time onward devoted himself with singular patience and steadiness
of purpose, to the work of life. As a lawyer, the American bar will not permit
any other place to be finally assigned him, except among the very first, if not
the first, in the front rank of admiralty lawyers. His name has been made
familiar to the profession throughout the country, by the work referred to
above, which is everywhere a standard text-book; but far more by his practice as
an admiralty lawyer, which, for nearly a half century, has been coextensive with
our Atlantic coast. It is due to a record of this kind to fix, if possible, and
perpetuate other personal characteristics. Mr. Benedict is distinguished as a
hard worker outside his profession. As an officer of the New York Historical
Society, a member of its executive committee for twenty-eight years, and now the
chairman of that committee; as, also, in his relations as officer to various
other societies--religious, charitable, and educational--his labors have been
great. He has been a trustee of Williams College since 1855; manager of the
association for improving the condition of the poor, since its organization, in
1848; manager of the American Art Union while it existed, and he has also been a
governor of the State Woman's Hospital since its incorporation. Coleridge, in
one of his aphorisms, asserts that there is no higher evidence of genius than
the ability to maintain, in advancing years, the fresh, genial feelings of
youth. All who know Mr. Benedict, will admit at once that he comes within
Coleridge's rule. He is now, to all appearances, as laborious, as earnest, as
hopeful, as much interested in his profession, and in plans for benefiting his
fellow men, as when he first struck out. He is now interested as much as ever in
the social, political, and moral questions which are engaging the attention of
advancing minds, and, in aid of their solution, he brings not only ripeness, but
wonderful freshness. The writer of this notice has endeavored to be a faithful
contributor to history, and, in dismissing the subject of this notice, he simply
says that he has nothing to fear from the impartial judgment of cotemporaries;
as for the rest, it may be safely left to a future age, if not to other
countries."

educated at the Philosophical Seminary of Practical Science, at Troy. After
graduating he devoted himself to teaching, and for a short time, as Professor of
Chemistry and Natural Science. He soon, however, entered on the study of law in
the city of New York, where he was admitted to the bar in the year 1832, and
practised this profession until his death. Mr. Benedict was a man of strong
sense and sound judgment; he possessed a mind of great independence. His
conclusions were strictly his own (borrowing no color from the authority of mere
name), and when formed, they were asserted with self-relying boldness, and
maintained with unflinching firmness. He was a sound lawyer and a successful
advocate; as a speaker he was exceedingly impressive, sententious and forcible.
In social life, his wit and humor abounded, and together with the habitual use
of the most expressive and purest English, gave to his conversation a somewhat
epigrammatic and sententious character; but, under the control of his
characteristic kindness of disposition, his wit was always without sting and his
humor free from offensive raillery. He possessed great energy and determination
of character, and called them into requisition whenever the object seemed to him
to demand their exercise. He possessed a refined and cultivated taste, not only
in literature, but also in art. He was unpretending, seeking no unearned
reputation and making no ostentatious display of his intellectual endowments or
of his prosperity. Mr. Benedict's sympathies were of the kindest character. He
was social, hospitable, and exceedingly agreeable as a companion, never failing,
notwithstanding his brusque manner, to treat his intimates with the same
politeness that he extended to his mere acquaintances and strangers. Mr.
Benedict was unaffectedly benevolent. The poor he never sent empty away, nor
passed without leaving his mite. Many of us remember him as one of the original
members of that excellent and noiseless charity, the Prison Association of New
York. Here he labored assiduously in visiting dungeons and prisons, and in
extending aid to those who, on being liberated from confinement, needed the aid
of some kind hand to lead them in the ways of honest exertion, and secure them
from temptations to crime. For these arduous labors there could be no
consideration, no reward, except that which springs up in every benevolent heart
from the performance of a benevolent action." Mr. B. and wife were lost in the
steamship Arctic, which sunk after a collision with the Vesta, in 1854. We have
quoted the words of Mr. E. Burr, who delivered a eulogy upon Mr. B. at a meeting
of the New York bar, July 15, 1855.

GEORGE KOHLER, b. Aug. 9, 1835. He entered the
college of New York (then Free Academy), and after remaining a year, left to
accompany his father to Europe. Soon after the death of his father, he entered
the counting-room of Mr. John A. Machado, an extensive shipping merchant in the
African trade; and, after becoming acquainted with the business, spent some time
at Gambia, in Africa, as a resident clerk, agent, and finally as partner, but,
before the partnership was fully in progress, the great commercial revulsion of
1857 overwhelmed Mr. M., and Mr. Benedict returned to New York. He was soon
employed by another house to proceed with a cargo to the English colony of
Sierra Leone, and remain there as resident commercial agent. He died there, May
13, 1859, of the yellow fever. The newspapers of the colony spoke highly of him.
A private letter said: "His funeral was attended by every one in the colony.
Every respect was paid to his memory. The colors at the American consulate and
on all the shipping in the harbor, were half-masted. He was deeply regretted by
all, and by none more than ourselves."

ABNER RALEIGH, b. Nov. 13, 1839. "He was educated
in the schools and University of Burlington, Vt., where he was a universal
favorite. In him, to energy, magnanimity and high spirit were added the
attractions of a fine figure, and a face that was the mobile mirror of his noble
nature. In 1854, he lost his parents in the Arctic, and shortly after, an elder
sister and brother were taken from him. These terrible bereavements preyed upon
his feelings and gave rise to a despondency which checked his naturally cheerful
humor and playful wit. Like all men of intellectual refinement, he was modest
and reserved. In short, he seems to have had all those delicate characteristics
that were once popularly believed to unfit the possessor for 'the dread
experience of arms.' Immediately after the breaking out of the war, he
volunteered as a private in Col. Butterfield's regiment, which was one of the
three that first left New York city for the seat of war. In August, 1861,
however, he left the volunteer service, having received a commission as 2d
Lieut. in the Fourth regular infantry. By his gallantry and coolness at Gaines'
Mills, a most desperate and bloody fight, he won his first brevet. At second
Bull Run, his clothing was repeatedly cut by bullets; at Antietam, he was under
heavy fire. At Fredericksburg, Major Benedict commanded forty men of the strong
picket line, that in the darkness, was pushed up to the enemy's main line, while
our beaten army was retreating across the river. The orders were to hold
position until relieved, and the intention was to withdraw the picket line
before daylight should reveal its nearness to the enemy. By some fatal mistake,
the line was not relieved as directed, and at daylight the enemy, from most
destructive short range, opened fire. While Major Benedict was animating his men
by his voice and his example, an officer of his brigade that was in full sight
of the fight, noticing that he was made a special mark for the sharpshooters,
said: 'Why the devil don't he walk zigzag?' Major Dryer, of the Fourth infantry,
replied: 'Don't you know that Benedict is the last man to ever walk zigzag, with
a brigade looking at him?' Major Benedict soon after fell, shot through the
lungs with a minie ball, and was only rescued by the devotion of his men,
several of whom were killed and wounded while carrying him out of fire, a
gallant Irish sergeant falling dead with a bullet through his head, and the
cheer, 'Hurrah! we've saved the lieutenant,' on his lips. This action gave him
his second brevet. Wounded on the 14th of Dec., 1862, in less than three months
Major Benedict was at Washington, reporting for duty, with his wound still open
at the breast and back. Finally he got permission to go to the field, and joined
his regiment at Chancellorsville, while the battle was in progress. At
Gettysburg the wounding of his superiors placed him in command of his regiment,
and he handled it amid all the carnage of that terrible day with great credit to
himself. Shortly after Gettysburg, his health began to fail him, his wounded
lung showing evident signs of weakness and irritation. In spite of his failing
health, he still sought field duty, and for some time commanded the Fourth
infantry as the body guard of Lieut.-General Grant's headquarters during the
Petersburg campaign. He was last stationed at Plattsburg barracks, leaving there
to seek a warmer station, but the gallant fellow had been living for a year on
nothing but sheer pluck, and from this time he gradually sank, until death
relieved him from his great suffering, June 15, 1867. The funeral took place
from the house of his uncle, Hon. E. C. Benedict, New York city. The usual
religious services were held at the house, and a detachment of troops from
Governor's Island, accompanied by the military band and field drum corps, gave
the body military escort. To the sound of the long pealing dirges and muffled
drums, the body of the hero, wrapped in the folds of the flag for which he died,
was borne to the tomb."

ERASTUS CARLTON, b. April 26, 1846; m. Dec. 24,
1868, Clara A., dau. Rev. James C. and Sarah Richmond. "At the age of 16 he was
nominated for a cadetship in the Naval Academy, and came to New York to prepare
for his examination. He, however, unknown to his uncle and guardian, Erastus C.
Benedict, enlisted in the 102d N. Y. Vols., then in the field in Virginia, under
the assumed name of Joseph Prentiss. Ten days after he joined his regiment it
went into the battle of Cedar Mountain, and he was left on the field wounded in
the thigh, which was thereby paralysed. He succeeded in reaching our lines, was
placed in hospital, and after several months discharged as disabled and entitled
to a pension. Returning to his uncle's house, he there found his brother Abner
lying, having been shot through the lungs at Fredericksburg. The hospital
experience of Erastus made him a useful companion to his sick brother. Under new
treatment his disability ceased, and he reenlisted, but was rejected by the
examining surgeon. Being then sent to an academy in the interior, by his
guardian, he remained a few weeks, and then enlisted in the 12th N. Y. cavalry
as a corporal, and remained with the regiment, serving in N. C., until the end
of the war. He then resumed his studies, but enlisted in a few months in the
regular cavalry, and was sent to the western plains Being under age, and having
enlisted without the consent of his guardian, he was finally discharged." Res.

business as a printer in Philadelphia, where, in connection with Robert Boyle,
his partner, he established the first penny newspaper in the United States. He
was soon induced to remove to Huntingdon, Pa., to take charge of the Huntingdon
Journal, a political newspaper, as publisher and editor. After proper
preparatory studies he was admitted to the bar and practised law there with
ability and success, his success being impaired by his connection with
journalism and party politics. In 1849 he was appointed deputy secretary of
state of Pennsylvania, and removed to Harrisburgh, the political capital of the
state, continuing his practice as counsel; subsequently, having removed again to
Huntingdon, he resumed his practice fully. In 1855 he was chosen clerk of the
house of representatives of Pennsylvania. In 1863 he was elected a member of
that body, and in 1864 was again elected clerk, and continued to fill the office
by reelection till his death. During the rebellion he was secretary of the
central state committee of the union party residing during the election campaign
in Philadelphia, and devoting himself constantly to the duties of that office as
practical manager. He was a good lawyer, an able advocate, a sagacious and
patriotic politician, an eloquent and convincing public speaker on political
topics, a laborious legislator, a reliable friend, a good citizen, and a
consistent Christian, a member of the Presbyterian church. In all his opinions
he was a man of deep and earnest convictions, and in his conduct was fearless
and upright, and everywhere highly esteemed." He d. April 28, 1867.

college, in 1827, at the Rochester Academy, under the care and tuition of his
brother Farrand, who was principal of that institution. Here he attained the
first rank in both the departments of language and introductory mathematics, and
remained till 1831, when he entered the junior class of the University of
Vermont. He left his class in the last term of his senior year to take the place
of principal of the Upperville Academy, Va., which his brother Farrand had
resigned. This compelled him to forego his bachelor's degree. He subsequently
took his master's degree. After losing his wife and children, he was appointed
professor of mathematics in the United States Navy, and in this capacity he
passed three years in the Mediterranean. On his return he retired, under
furlough, to Leesburg, Va., when he became principal of the Leesburg Academy. In
1848 he was appointed to duty as professor in the United States Observatory at
Washington. He remained there till his last sickness, when he removed with his

Catharine E., dau. Henry I. and Margaret (Kohler) Knapp, b. 1829. "At the age of
seven, he lost both his parents, who died within a few days of each other, at
Brighton. His father's family was then broken up and scattered, no two of its
members meeting for several years. This separation occurring when he was so
young, it required in after years a formal introduction to make him known again
to each of his brothers and sisters. He was taken into the family of his
brother, Farrand N., when ten years old. He was graduated at the University of
Vermont in 1843, and received the degree of A. M. in 1846. The following year he
passed as preceptor of the Milton Academy in Vermont. He had charge of the Essex
county Academy, Westport, through the year 1845. In the years 1846 and 1847 he
edited the Whitehall Chronicle, at Whitehall, when he removed to New York city,
where he was admitted to the bar in January, 1848, and where he has since been a
successful practitioner. During the time he edited the Chronicle, the
circulation of the paper was more than double as the result of his literary
contributions. He acquired a reputation in college as a writer of force, which
reputation has been maintained by occasional addresses and contributions to
newspapers and periodicals. An article by him on the admiralty law in Hunt's
Merchants' Magagine, was widely noticed at the time as an able, readable and
valuable paper. It is to be found in the 23d vol. of that work. He delivered the
annual address (1869) before the Franklin Electrical Institute. Nervous and
imaginative by inheritance, he is very vivacious, impulsive and emotional. He
was vice-president of a union league club in Westchester Co., throughout the
late war, which office was no sinecure. His readings are general, with a
proclivity to philosophical and metaphysical enquiry, and to abstract thought.
In social intercourse his conversational powers are striking. He is
epigrammatic, humorous, often witty, always 'short, clear and surprising,' and
ready at repartee. He is a good lawyer, but his characteristic habits and tastes
have prevented professional subjects from absorbing his mind and efforts, and
carrying him to that eminence at the bar, which he might easily have attained.
Whereever he has been known, he has been esteemed an earnest, thoughtful
scholar, and has always identified himself, in small things as well as great,
with the party of progress and reform, fighting against any odds in the fullest
confidence that the right is sure to prevail sooner or later."

minister of Christ, and his memory is held in blessed remembrance. He was at one
time settled in Danbury, Ct. The following is taken from an obituary notice of
him: "The Rev. Mr. Benedict was distinguished as one of the most popular and
successful preachers in the denomination to which he belonged. The Union Baptist
church was the first with which he sustained the pastoral relation in this city
(N. Y.), and under his ministrations soon outgrew its place of worship, and
erected the church on Stanton street; that house proved inadequate to
accommodate the congregation he attracted, and eventually the communicants could
not find room. Necessity thus compelled a portion of the church to withdraw,
which they did with him as their pastor, and purchased the church on the corner
of Norfolk and Broome streets, which church he saw burned to the ground a short
time before he died. The congregation built on Norfolk street, and in a few
years sold to the Methodists, and is now flourishing up town as the 5th Avenue
Baptist church. The character of Rev. Mr. Benedict was distinguished for its
gentleness, meekness and patience, and yet possessed of sufficient firmness to
resist the encroachments of error. As a pastor he was to the aged a companion
and friend, to the young an example and adviser; as a preacher he was faithful
and prayerful, admonishing his hearers with an earnestness that made him
eloquent, and a kindness that would have been closed against denunciations. As a
man he was kind, forgiving, compassionate and just. In the social circle his
cheerful disposition rendered him the joy of the house-hold."

Notes for CHARLES
BENEDICT:
"Henry Marvin Benedict, The Genealogy of the
Benedicts in America, (Joel Munsell, 82 State Street, Albany, NY, 1870), pages
397-398."
"Mr. Benedict has, since 1833, been engaged in
various business enterprises, but mainly in connection with those companies
growing out of the business originally established by his father. He is at this
time treasurer, and, for about twenty years past, has had the general and
principal management of the business of The Benedict & Burnham Manufacturing
Co., which, during this period, has increased about three fold. He is now (1870)
President of the three other Joint Stock Manufacturing Cos., which have grown
out of enterprizes started in direct connection with the business of the old
company, all of which are doing a large and prosperous business. He was one of
the original projectors, and is still connected with the extensive manufactory
of gas fixtures, clocks, bronzes, etc., in the city of New York, under the firm
name of Mitchell, Vance & Co. This company now employ about four hundred men,
and turn out as beautiful and artistic work as the best found in the old world.
Mr. Benedict is, at this time, president of the Detroit and Lake Superior Copper
Company, which owns and runs the smelting works at Detroit and Houghton, and
which has the past year, under the efficient management of John R. Grout, Esq.,
smelted and refined over 22,000,000 pounds of copper, the product of Lake
Superior mines. Not having a taste for political life, Mr. Benedict has never
sought its honors. He was, however, chosen member of Waterbury common council,
1854-5, alderman 1859-60, and was elected mayor in 1860. He was one of a colony
which, in 1852, went out from the First Congregational Church of Waterbury to
form a second church, and he was chosen a Deacon, which office he still holds."

278. LEWIS7 (Uriah,6 Uriah,5 Thomas,4 Thomas,3
John,2 Thomas1), b. Nov. 7, 1785, at Milton, Saratoga Co.; m. at Albany, Jan.
14, 1812, Susan, dau. Spencer and Dorothea (Hallenbake) Stafford,(*) who was b.
July 1, 1791, in Albany. He received from nature a physical organization of rare
perfection and vigor, and his intellect was after the fashion of the body it
animated, robust, masculine, and active even to restlessness. An uncommonly
inquisitive spirit led him to scrutinize closely whatever passed within his
notice, and when, at the age of twenty, he left Milton to reside in Albany,
there were few things in rural economy, or in business as then done, that he did
not perfectly understand. In 1806, having attained legal age, he was admitted a
partner in the firm of Marvin Benedict & Co., which his father had established
in Albany the year before. In 1813, this firm was dissolved by the death of
Uriah Benedict. In 1815 he became a partner in the firm of his father-in-law,
Staffords, Spencer & Co. The hardware business proved especially agreeable to
him, and he never forsook it during his business life. His connection with his
father-in-law, in mercantile relations, ceased in 1825, and never was renewed.
Thenceforth, he was senior in all his partnerships, and they were numerous.
Although he was, himself, always a resident of Albany, he had partners and
establishments elsewhere, at various times, especially in Utica, Rochester and
New York. His activity, enterprise and public spirit, soon placed him in the
front rank of the leading men of the city; and every project designed to
increase its business, wealth, population or attractiveness, found in him an
energetic supporter. Having taken an active part in establishing the Commercial
Bank, in 1826, he was appointed one of its first board of directors, and he
remained one, so long as he was in business. He was, also, a director of the
Albany Insurance Company. About the same time he became greatly interested in
promoting steam navigation on the Hudson river, and was stockholder and director
in several associations formed for that purpose. In 1833, the Utica and
Schenectady rail road company was incorporated, and he was named a corporator.
He was also chosen director on the organization of the company, and was
continued in the board until 1847, when he declined to serve longer. The
construction of this road was attended with difficulties hardly to be imagined
now. There was no precedent for anything; a very few short lines of rail road
only having been built in the country at that time. As a member of the executive
committee of the board, he devoted days and nights to the service of the
corporation. The then engineer of construction, and, subsequently,
superintendent for fifteen consecutive years, William C. Young, writing in 1862,
of Mr. Benedict's connection with the enterprise, says: "His influence was
positive and effective in the organization and management of the Utica and
Schenectady rail road, and contributed to a successful result in general and in
detail, and that inaugurated a system of economy and practicabilities in the
rail road system, which was the prevailing one for the time." The Albany and
West Stockbridge rail road received his support from its inception, and he
served it as a director for many years. He held the same relation to the
Saratoga and Schenectady rail road, and took a leading part in its location,
construction and management. The public works of internal improvement,
especially the canals, were objects of much interest and solicitude to him.
Ex-canal commissioner, Asa Whitney, says: "The canal system of the state was
then (1839) occupying a prominent place in the public mind, particularly the
enlargement of the Erie canal. Mr. Benedict was among the most prominent and
efficient advocates of prosecuting the enlargement to completion. My connection
with the project as a canal commissioner, brought me in contact with the most
prominent men of the state, who interested themselves in the question; and the
opinions of none were more respected and deferred to, than those of Lewis
Benedict."
