Gideon, born about 1680 in Wallingford, was only a baby when his father died. He was raised by his mother Hannah and stepfather Joseph Benham. In 1706, Gideon married Mary Royce, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Porter) Royce, and great-granddaughter of Robert Royce, a colonist in Massachusetts, pioneer at Stratford, Connecticut, and prominent man of New London. [Mary b. January 12, 1686, d. October 15, 1742.] Gideon and Mary, and Gideon's brother John, lived at North Farms, Wallingford. Having borne twelve children, Mary died October, 15, 1742, at age 56. It is likely that by the time of his second marriage to the Elizabeth Cornwall in 1743, Gideon had given his North Farms property to his son Gideon and moved to Wallingford Village. Gideon died in 1767 and was buried in the Center Street Cemetery, Wallingford.
