Benezer thresher was born in Stafford, Connecticut, on the thirty-first day of August, 1798. His ancestors on his father's side, he thought, were of German descent. His grandparents were Christopher Thresher, who died in 1779, and Thank ful Thomas. These had eight children, of whom the third, Ebenezer, married Hannah, the daughter of Joshua Blodgett. The Blodgetts are said to have descended from French Huguenots. Hannah Blodgett's mother was an Alden, and her lineage is traceable to John Alden of the Mayflower. The subject of this memoir was the ninth of the twelve children of Ebenezer and Hannah Blodgett Thresher. Of these children two died in childhood. The remainder grew up and lived to a good old age.
