Sometime between 1764 and 1767 Benedict and his family moved to southern Vermont, which was then pioneer territory. Benedict's father died February 15, 1764 leaving Benedict the bulk of his estate. It is quite likely that once the affairs of the estate were settled, Benedict felt free to leave Windsor for the opportunities that awaited in Vermont.
