| Notes for Benoni (Spouse 2) |
In 1668 he and two other Northampton boys (Godfrey Nims & James Bennett) attempted to run away to the French. They were aided by an Indian named Quequelaat, but he was caught and punished. Benoni later moved to Deerfield (probably before 1677).21
In 1676 he was among the 23 persons presented at the court in Northampton "for wearing silk in a flaunting manner and for long hair and other extravagances contrary to honest and sober order, and demeanor not becoming a wildernessstate, at least the profession of christianity and religion." Each was admonished and ordered to pay clerk's fees of 2s. 6d. each, and "so acquitted." People continued to ignor the so-called "sumptuary laws", and after 1678 nothing more is heard of them.21 |
