2) William Benedict�

William Benedict was the father of Lt. Thomas Benedict who married Mary Bridgum, the daughter of Thomas Bridgum and Mary Creswell.� Thomas and Mary were step brother and sister.� Mary Creswell was a widow when she married William Benedict, who had a son, Thomas from his marriage to Ann Hunloke. William died leaving Mary, his wife to raise her daughter, Mary, from her first marriage and his son, Thomas, from his first marriage. I do not know if Mary Creswell Bridgum Benedict traveled to America with Thomas and her daughter, Mary, in 1638. Nor, to I know if there were any other children born to William Benedict, Ann Hunloke, Mary Creswell, and Thomas Bridgum. But, one could assume so.
