(Commemorative Biographical Record of Middlesex County, CT, 1903, pages 667 and 668, excerpted): "David Smith, the father of Concurrence, married Lydia Cogswell, daughter of Robert Cogswell, who was one of the original settlers of Old Saybrook. Robert Cogswell's father, Samuel Cogswell, married Ann Mason, daughter of Capt. John Mason of Pequot fame." Benaneul Bonfoey (2) built the house on Candlewood Hill, in which his son, Benanuel (3) spent his long and useful life, dying at the age of ninety-two; this house is still standing [also in 2014], and in use, serving to illustrate the stability with which the old time houses were constructed. In the tiny bedroom off the kitchen there died the great-grandmother, Lydia (Cogswell) Smith, aged eighty-eight; the grandmother Concurrence (Smith) Bonfoey, aged ninety, the mother, Eliza Bonfoey, aged eighty-three, Benanuel Bonfoey, aged Ninety-two. The old Revolutionary soldier, Benanuel Bonfoey, who built the house, also died there, but in another room."
