I came across an article printed in the Connecticut Nutmegger back in 2006, now online at AmericanAncestors.org: The English Origins of the First Thomas Benedict of Long Island and Norwalk, Connecticut by LaRue Olson. The article adds details to the lineage I already had for Thomas Benedict, clarifies a few points and adds parentage to Thomas' mother.
I am trying to condense Thomas' bio from a hodge-podge of a bio that I originally compiled for him. In the meantime, I will offer the new data on the Benedict family.
This will overlap with the Bridgum family, as Thomas' widowed mother married John Bridgum, who was the father of Thomas' wife, Mary. That made Thomas and Mary step-siblings.
