I've a request from a museum seeking information on a War of 1812 soldier. They believe he was from central New York and are seeking further information regarding him. The soldier's name was Elim Benedict. Since this surname seems to show up in Chenango and Madison counties as well as Onandaga, I'm guessing it shows up in Cortland as well. Does anyone have further info on this person? I have found a Elicum Benedict in Coventry, Chenango in the 1810 census which makes me wonder if that's him. In scouting around the Internet tonight I've not found any good listing of War of 1812 soldiers other than Dan's site which has a couple of companies, but not this name included.
