TWITCHELL, BENONI, b. about 1684, supposed son of Abiel of Dor- chester, believed to have been early left an orphan and adopted by John Rockett of Medfield, who m. Bethia, sister of Abiel, Benoni's father; thus Joseph Rockett and Benoni Twitchell were cousins. It is said they came here together, and we know their home lots joined. Benoni came from Medfield among the 30 proprietors, settled on the west side of 8-rod way between the two commons, sold 1728 100 acres, bounded east on the 8-rod way, south on a 4-rod way [road over Camp Hill], north on John Wiley and Peter Shum- way. In 1733-4 we find him on " Manchaug farm near Oxford," tradition says at H. 10, then Dudley's. In 1736, '39 and '40 he was of Ox. In 1732 he was one of the grantees of land at Pequoig, Athol, probably in consideration of services of his father and grandfather in the Indian war. In June, 1734, he drew 10 lots there. In 1745 he deeded a portion to his son Jeremiah, he then residing at Thompson, Conn., and was preparing for the expedition against Cape Breton, in which he went, it is said, as commissary. He deeded

also the same year ("since by divine providence I am engaged in the present expedition against Cape Britton ") to his son Seth of Thompson, to his dau. Hannah, w. of Phinehas Dana of Ox., and Abigail Buship [Bishop], w. of John of Attleboro', in case he should not return, as follows: to Seth his husbandry tools, household goods, and notes and accounts, and to his daughters all his lands in Ox. equally. He returned from the expedition and in 1749 was here in the full confidence of the public, having been employed by the proprietors in the final allotment of all the lands then remaining undi- vided in the town. On 18 Sept., 1749, the town voted £6 to Capt. Elijah Moore, innkeeper, for " dyeting him " while in this service. He is supposed to have d. at Killingly, Conn., the owner of large tracts of land. He was early in the town's history, much in public life, in 1713-14 selectman, in 1714 town clerk, later constable, and to 1725 repeatedly moderator and select- man. He was a constituent member of the Church, "evidently a man of
character and enterprise, and engaged somewhat in land speculation." He m. 18 April, 1705, Hannah Allen. . . . Children [several b. before coming to Ox., some d. young] : HANNAH, b. 1713, at Medfield, m. 8 March, 1731, Phinehas Dana; SETH, b. 9 Nov., 1711, at Medfield, m. Dorothy Bishop, resided in Ox., in 1744 was of Thompson Parish, in 1757 of Sturbridge, at which date he sold land in Pequoig. In 1765 he had removed thither, and there spent his remaining days. [Athol records give the following, who, it seems probable, were nearly all the ch. of Seth and Dorothy and b. at Thompson : Jeremiah, d. 6 Oct., 1810, aged 68; Benoni, d. 29 Aug., 1819, aged 74; Enos, d. 25 July, 1812, aged 62; John, d. 1 March, 1802, aged 48; Abner, d. 15 Feb., 1825, aged 71. We conjecture from the land records that Seth had a son Abner, and there is positive proof that he had a son Jeremiah.] In 1777 he sold to Abner Twitchell and Seth Twitchell, Jr., land in Athol laid out to said Seth, Senior, on the rights of Benoni, the father. Of the ch. of Seth, two were recorded in Ox. : Jerusha, b. 11 Aug., 1736; Josiah, b. 15 May, 1738. They had proba- bly ch. b. at Thompson; but we find no record of them.
