The Connecticut settlement "was in a frightfully exposed position. isolated with no more than 250 men capable of bearing arms. It lay within reach of as many as 5,000 fighting barbarians: 1,00 of them, two days march to the Eastward. Pequots, most warlike of all."(See Makers of America-- John Winthrop-Twitchell, page 170). 30 men were levied in Windsor (History of Windsor, Vol 1, pp. 67-68) Windsor also furnished 6 suits of Armour, 60 bushels of corn, 50 pieces of Pork, 30 # of rice & 4 cheeses.
The corn was to be ground & 1/2 baked into biscuits The expedition had a hoghead of beer, some strong water & sack. Capt. John Mason of Windsor led the expedition and a decisive battle was fought May 26 1637. (The extermination of the Pequots was dictated by the imperious instinct of self-preservation) A grant of land was also given to each soldier, and to this day, the memory of an ancestor in the Pequot fight is anhonorable heirloom in every Connecticut family.Benedict married Jane Newton 26 Nov 1640, Windsor, , Connecticut, United States.
