I. Benedict Alvord, Born : died Windsor, Conn., April 23, 63. He was of Windsor, Conn., in 63; was in "Old England" in 63; was Massachusetts in August, 640, (see page 2), and was of Windsor, Conn., in the fall of 640, where he early had a grant of land, where he was married, where his children were born, and where he died. He was one of the 30 who went from Windsor, Conn., in 63, to fight against the Pequots. The Pequots had conceived the design of driving the whites from New England; and at a Court, Convened May, 63, "It is ordered that there shall be an offensive war against the Pequots." "There shall be 0 men levied out of the three plantations, Hartford, Wethersfield, and Windsor, in the following proportion Hartford 42 Windsor 30 Wethersfield " "The decisive battle of May 26 had been fought-- the Pequot power was broken, the victorious little

army was on its homeward march full of joy and gratitude for success such as they had hardly dared to hope." "A day of special thanksgiving was proclaimed throughout the colonies, and every where the song of exultant victory was blended with prayer and praise to him who ruleth on high. In all these rejoicings, we may well believe that the good people of Windsor had their full share." "Capt. Mason the 'very foremost of them a" was their townsman. "SO WAS BRAVE SERGEANT ALVORD." So were Barber and Pattison whose valiant right arm caused seven Indians to bite the dust. So were lucky Thomas Stiles and John Dyer, who were singularly fortunate in escaping with their lives, being each of them struck by arrows which stuck in the knots of their neckhandkerchiefs, a twin like coincidence, which is justly commerated by Capt. Mason in his account of the battle as among the 'wonderful providence' of the day. We have it upon good authority, that in the thickest of the fight an Indian drew 'an arrow to his head' full upon the Captain, whose life was only saved by an opportune thrust of a comrade's sword which cut the bow string.&c," [See History of Windsor.] *********************************** From A DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS, VOL., HARTFORD DIST. 635-00, compiled by Charles William Manwaring, Gen.

He was sometimes listed as "Benedicitus." His surname, and that of some of his descendants, has been spelled a variety of ways- including Alvord, Alfred, Alford and Allford. Most research indicates that the majority of this branch of the family used the "Alford" spelling. That will be used throughout this genealogy to minimize confusion and to prevent conflict with the brother's descendants - the majority of which used the "Alvord" spelling. Benedict, along with brother Alexander (Alvord) and Joanna Alford, came to America, probably as minors and perhaps as orphans, about 636. Sister Joanna was baptized December, 622 in Whitestaunton Parish but no record of Benedict's birth or baptism has been discovered. Brother Alexander was baptized- probably at Bridport, England, October 5, 62. Benedict was in Windsor, Connecticut, as early as 63. He went back to England in 63 but was back in Massachusetts in 640. He probably returned for "his espoused Joan Nurton, or Newton, who was of the parish of Broadway" about four miles from Whitestaunton. While in England a purchase of cattle was made, and Benedict's signature also appears as a witness on a deed executed in 63 by Nicholas Nurton. He was a sergeant in the Pequot War in 63- the war having begun in 633. He was present at the "Pequot Massacre." He had a grant of land in Windsor, Connecticut. He became a member of Windsor Church October, 64. He was a juror in April 643 and a constable in 666. Add comments from "Somerset & Dorset Notes & Queries" in BEN6EN file.
