A Benjamin Keith was born 4 Dec 1786 in Pomfret, Vermont.Marriage Notes (Deliverance Atwood)
"1817.
Rev. Benjamin Keith succeeded Brother Roberts, and came on the circuit when our brethren here were building their new church. Through much self-sacrifice and hard labor on the part of many, with God's peculiar blessing, it was completed in November of this year, and dedicated by Rev. George Pickering, the presiding elder. This house, though not large (only forty by thirty feet) or costly, was their first temple for the worship of God; and, with its bare floors and uncushioned seats, they were as happy and earnest worshippers as ever met together. Brother Keith saw the new church filled with attentive hearers, some saying, " We would see Jesus." An increase of nine members was reported.
Benjamin Keith was born in Pomfret, Vt., and embraced religion in early life, joining the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1811 he came into the New England Conference ; but his health soon failed, and he desisted from travelling. In 1817 he again commenced work in the itinerancy here in Wellfleet, and continued for four years, when, because of failing health, he located. For the third time he entered the active list of Methodist ministers in 1826, in which he continued till called home, preaching and working in all the duties of his office as long as he had strength. His wife was Delia Atwood, daughter of Thomas Atwood, sen., of Wellfleet. He was a man of genuine, deep piety, a sound preacher, and, on most of his appointments, a successful minister. He died in Truro, Mass., Feb. 11, 1834, aged forty-five years." 13
