At the age of 23 he was elected a surveyor, and soon after held successively the offices of collector, assessor, and constable. At the age of 37 years he was chosen Selectman, and for years served in that office. He was a surveyor of some note beyond his own town and often served on committees of survey for other towns, appointed by the General Assembly. “May 8, 1701 he was elected Lieutenant of the “Trainband,”for the north precinct of Wethersfield.

The following in<i> The Churchill Family in America</i>, p. 327: “LIEUT. BENJAMIN CHURCHILL (Josiah1). Born in Wethersfield May 16, 1652, and lived there. The records of his native town show that Mr. Churchill was early recognized as of ability and enterprise. At the age of 23 he was elected a surveyor, and soon after held successively the offices of collector, assessor, and constable. At the age of 37 years he was chosen Selectman, and for years served in that office. He was a surveyor of some note beyond his own town and often served on committees of survey for other towns, appointed by the General Assembly.
“May 8, 1701 he was elected Lieutenant of the “Trainband,”for the north precinct of Wethersfield. He was living in 1728, but the tax list of 1730 does not contain his name, and the probability is that he died before 1730, though the date of his death is not found on the records.
“Married July 6, 1676 Mary (_____). The surname of the wife of Benjamin, as well as that of his brother Joseph’s wife, has been a matter of much careful research without avail.
