    'These facts in the history of Thomas Benedict are verified by the testimony of Mary Bridgum herself, who lived to the age of one hundred years, and in her life-time communicated them to her grandson, Deacon James Benedict, of Ridgefield, Conn., who recorded them in 1755. "... Now this Thomas was put out an apprentice to a weaver, who afterwards, in the 21st year of his age, came over into New-England, together with his sister-in-law [step-sister] Mary Bridgum. Afterwards said Thomas was joined in marriage with Mary Bridgum. ...[Signed] JAMES BENEDICT. Ridgefield, March [th]e 14, 1755." '
