Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sabin-3

Benjamin Sabin, son of William, resided in Rehoboth until 1675, when he removed to Roxbury, Mass., and in 1686 he was on of the thirteen pioneers who settled Woodstock, Conn. He joined the same year in purchasing a large tract of land lying just south of Woodstock, Mashamoquoit, the present town of Pomfret.

He [Benjamin] lived in Woodstock until 1705, when he removed to his new purchase. The town of Pomfret was not incorporated until 1713, nor the church organized until 1715, which accounts for his continuing his church relations in Woodstock after his removal. He died in Pomfret July 21, 1725, in his eightieth year.

He married first Sarah Polly, daughter of John and Rebecca Polly, of Roxbury, who was born June 2, 1650 (a twin of Mary.) He married (second), July 5, 1678, Sarah Parker, who died January 22, 1717-18.

The will of John Polly provides that the four motherless children of his daughter Sarah are to have their mother's part of his estate.

Benjamin Sabin's children by his first wife were: (1) Josiah, born in Rehoboth Oct. 11, 1669, married Rebecca Cheney, of Roxbury, Mass, June 18, 1706. They resided in Roxbury in 1730, and had two daughters. He died in Pomfret Feb. 22, 1745. (2) Ebenezer was born in Rohoboth Dec. 10, 1671. (3) Benjamin was born in Rehoboth Dec. 2, 1673. (4) Mehitable was born in Roxbury Sept. 7, 1677.

Benjamin Sabin's children by second wife: Sarah, born in Roxbury Aug. 1, 1679 (married Samuel Adams Jan. 6, 1795); Nehemiah, born in Roxbury Jan. 10, 1681; Patience, born in Roxbury May 3, 1682; Jeremiah, born in Roxbury March 11, 1684; Experience, born in Roxbury in February, 1686 (married David Morse, of Medfield, Aug. 22, 1705); Stephen, born in Woodstock May 30, 1689; and Timothy, born in Woodstock in 1694.

Notes

Early Residents of Pomfret Connecticut” Windham County / By Dennis Partridge < link >

These new inhabitants of Pomfret were mostly men of character and property, and at once identified themselves with the growth of the town. Jehoshaphat Holmes was soon chosen town clerk, Samuel, Gridley served as clerk both for town and proprietors, Abiel heney was licensed as tavern keeper, Sharpe, Holbrook and other new inhabitants were appointed to various public services, and “Father Coy ” opened his house for public meetings. …

… Pomfret, for a time, was so remarkably healthy that, in five years, the only deaths occurring were those of three infants, so that the burial ground by the meeting house was scarcely made use of. In 1719, the town voted “That the burying place be removed to a more convenient place,” and accepted the gift of two acres of land for this use and service, bounded north by Wappaquians brook and east by the highway, from Deacon Philemon Chandler. The first person interred in the new ground is believed to have been Joseph Griffin, one of the original Mashamoquet proprietors, in 1723. He was followed, in 1725, by Deacon Benjamin Sabin, an early Woodstock pioneer, and one of the most useful and respected citizens of Pomfret.
