Notes
!S.P. May p.226 "In early life Benjamin Sears followed farming and coopering,
with his father; rem. from Chatham, CT, to New Durham, Greene co, NY, and thence
after two years, he penetrated the forest still further, to Delaware, OH,
where he resided till his death.
He filled with honor and esteem various military offices.
Changing his views of the Christian religion, he joined the Baptist Church,
devoted himself to the ministry, received ordination, and after serving his
church for some years, to its great increase, took his leave for a more extended
field. He received his appointment as missionary, and traveling with his two
sons, John and Benjamin, and John's wife, he went to Fort Wayne, IN, his sons
having received appointments to labor as missionaries among the Indians. He
returned from the mission to Delaware, and died soon afterward, much lamented as
a man of energy and piety.
