Sources: Isaac G. Ensign manuscript.
"Coe-Ward Memorial" p. 42: "'Governor' Benjamin Miller, son of Thomas, was born July 20th, 1672. He was one of the first three settlers in Middlefield. He located himself in the south part, on the east side of Coginchaug, or West river, and not far from the Durham line. Tradition says the title of 'Governor' was conferred upon Benjamin by the early settlers, partly because of his influence in the settlement, and, partly, no doubt, because of his character, which appears to have been of a dominant type. It is plain that Benjamin Miller was a man of great influence in the early history of Middlefield, both from property and character. He came freom Miller's farms, or South Farms, in 1700; he came with a wife and several small children to settle in the wilds of Middlefield. (The above is from Atkin's History of Middlefield.)
"'Governor' Benjamin was much annoyed by losing of his pigs. He suspected that they were taken by bears and watched to see. One Sunday he discovered a bear catching the pigs, and shot and killed the bear, for which act he was arrested for desecrating the Sabbath.
"'Governor' Benjamin married first 18th Sept. 1695, Mary Johnson of Woodstock, daughter of Nathaniel Johnson and Mary Smith. He married second Mercy Bassett of New Haven."
"Coe-Ward Memorial" p.43: "'Governor' Benjamin and his 2nd wife, Mercy Bassett, were buried in the old cemetery in Middlefield. Upon his T. S. is carved a fallen tree with its stump, and an arm holding an axe directed towards them, representing the work of the first settlers of Middlefield. On top of the stone is inscribed, FECISTI atque FINITUR (You have acted and it is finished.)"
