    "5. Capt. Benjamin 23 Newberry (Maj. Benjamin 22 (3), Thomas 21), born in Windsor, Conn., 20 Apr. 1669, inherited about half of his father's lands there upon which he resided, and during his lifetime acquired a substantial estate. In May 1696 he was commissioned ensign of the south Windsor military company; and on 13 Dec 1704 was appointed captain in a force of two hundred men dispatched from Connecticut for assistance in the defence of towns in Hampshire County, Mass., during Queen Anne's War. (Records of Connecticut, printed vol. 4, pp. 162 and 496-7.) From his will it appears that in June 1709 he was again in active service, this time as captain in Col. William Whiting's Connecticut regiment in Gen. Nicholson's provincial army raised for an expedition against Quebec, Canada. This force rendezvoused at Wood Creek near Albany, N. Y., and was encamped there several months awaiting the arrival of a fleet and troops from England, to co-operate by way of the St. Lawrence River. During the summer and autumn great mortality prevailed in the army at Wood Creek, over one quarter of the force perishing from typhus fever and other camp diseases, and as the reinforcements from England failed to appear, late in the autumn the expedition was abandoned. Although the exact circumstances of the death of Capt. Newberry have not been learned, he died 3 Nov. 1709, during or an a result of this service.

    The will of Capt. Benjamin Newberry of Windsor, Conn., dated 14 June 1709: 'Whereas I, Benjamin Newbery of Windsor, am going forth in Her Majestie's service, and do therefore leave this as my last will: I give to my wife Hannah £100 to be at her own disposal forever; also the use and improvement of my whole estate until my children arrive at age, my sons to twentyone years and my daughters to eighteen years. I give to my son Benjamin £800, to my son Roger £150, and to my two daughters Hannah £100 and Abigail £100. I appoint my wife Hannah to be sole executrix, and desire Mr. John Eliot, Esq., John Moore, sen., Roger Wolcott, and Thomas Moore to be overseers'. [Signed] Benjamin Newbery. Witness: John Moore, sen. Proved 2 Jan. 1709/10. Inventory taken 31 Mar. 1710 and 17 May 1720, showed a total estate of £1285-11-6. (Hartford Probate Records, printed vol. 2, pp. 263-4.).

    On 6 Mar. 1718/19, Hannah Newberry alias Merriman, executrix of the will of Capt. Benjamin Newberry, rendered account. The court ordered division as follows: To Hannah Newberry alias Merriman, the relict, £100-0-0; To the heir of Benjamin Newberry, deceased, eldest son, £261-1-7 Including his portion in his own right of Abigail Newberry's part in said estate, who died before the eldest son; To Roger Newberry, second son, £258-1-5 Including his portion of his sisters Hannah and Abigail Newberry, both deceased; To Mary Newberry, daughter of said deceased, £117-16-11.

    On 6 Mar. 1718/19, Mrs. Hannah Newberry alias Merriman was appointed guardian of her children, Roger Newberry aged thirteen years, and Mary Newberry aged nine years.

    On 3 Apr. 1723, Mrs. Hannah Merriman alias Newberry, relict of Capt. Benjamin Newberry, petitioned for dower of one-third of the real estate of deceased. This was granted; although opposed by James Porter and Ruth Newberry, guardians of Benjamin Newberry, grandson of the deceased. (Hartford Probate Records, printed vol. 2. p. 264.)

    Capt. Benjamin 23 Newberry married 3 May 1691 [March 1691/92], Mrs. Hannah3 (Sackett) Dewey, born in Westfield, Mass., 7 Mar. 1668/9, daughter of John2 and Abigail (Hannum) Sackett, and widow of Thomas3 Dewey of that place. After the death of Capt. Newberry, she married for a third husband one Merriman, being named as 'my daughter Hannah Merryman' in the will of her father John Sackett of Westfield, dated 10 May 1718; and she died at Windsor, Conn., 30 Aug 1749."
