That's interesting. Benedict Arnold's treason was exposed in late september and this guy was born early october before his parents found out about the treason. So news definitely spread slowly back then.
It says he had 12 children. I wonder if he named any of his sons benedict.
- pella 4y agoOne of his children was also Benedict. "They had twelve children, Hiram, Jane, William, Maria, James, Charlotte, Lorenzo, Benedict, Hasley, Sarah, Marion, and Adam"
