- There were 3 Benjamin Weeds enlisted fromStamford in the War of the Revolution. this one is known as "Benjamin 3d". He enlisted in Capt. Whitney's Company, Ninth regiment, Conn. Militia. the elder Benjamin Weed, known as "Sergeant" was sergeant of this company. "Connecticut men in the Revolution" states that: "After the battle of White Plains, Oct. 28, 1776, the Assembly ordered the 9th, 10th, 13th and 16th militia regiments to march to the Westchester border and place themselves under Gen. Wooster's command. Later the State Regiments under col. Enos Whiting relieved them. The 9th regiment had but lately returned from New York."
Although this is the only official record given, there is no doubt but that Benjamin 3d served through the war and took part in the affair at Ridgefield. Sergeant Benjamin being wounded on that occasion. Huntington's Stamford, page 256, refers to a "petition signed June 3, 1782, which states that 'since the capture of Cornwallis and his army, many unprincipled wretches from us who had with arms joined the common enemy' had returned home, and that a number of them belonged to the most infamous banditte called Delancy's corps." Among the signers of this petition was Benjamin Weed 3d. [1]
