12B. H. Davis, Reminiscences of Oxford, Chapter 9. " A little further on the left we come to a very old house known as the Washington Benham homestead. It is located on the corner of the Chestnut Tree Hill road and the Woodbury turnpike and was built about the beginning of the 18th century. It is a house that would attract attention from a stranger, being of the gambrel roof style of architecture that was little known a century ago. Mr. Benham lived in this many years. He was married three times. My memory does not serve me in regard to the names of his wives. He had three children, two sons, and one daughter, John, who married Jessie Perry of Oxford and now lives in Beacon Falls, on the farm formerly owned by Stiles Fairchild. Geo. Benham lives in Seymour, and the daughter Hattie married Wm. O. Davis and lives in Seymour. Mr. Benham moved to Beacon Falls.
The place then passed into the hands of Orrin Tucker and soon he commenced to make the famous Oxford doughnuts and established a very profitable business in this line and the sale of the Tucker Doughnuts extended from Danbury to New Haven. He carried on this business for many years until from old age and infirmities he retired and moved to Milford where he died several years ago.
(NOTE: The Washington Benham Homestead is house #81 in the EARLY HOUSES OF OXFORD, CONNECTICUT book, published 1976, Historic House Committee of Oxford's Bicentennial Commission)." http://www.our-oxford.info/davis-reminiscences/Davis-09.html.

10B. H. Davis, Reminiscences of Oxford Homes and People (Seymour Record - 1913), Chapter 12. . " Continuing up the Riggs street road we come to The Maples, where for many years resided Hiram Osborn, who was one of the most popular men in the town. He came from Goshen, Conn., in early life and located in Oxford, on Riggs Street. He married Sarah Finch, who was born in the house now occupied by Frank Andrews on a cross road towards Chestnut Tree Hill Road. Five children were born to them -- four daughter and one son ...
Hiram Osborn was a very much valued citizen of his native town, coming here as a poor boy, but by his honest and upright dealing he soon gained the respect and confidence of all with whom he came in contact. Early in life he became actively identified with St. Peter's Church, and every Sunday you would see his pleasant face and his good wife seated in one of the front pews listening attentively to the drafting of the Gospel. He filled at times nearly all the offices of trust within the gift of this townsmen.
He represented the town in the legislature several times. He gave largely to charity. The latch string was always out at his door and no one ever went hungry form his threshold. He was much given to cattle and sheep raising. He was one of the largest land owners in the town and I might almost quote from an old saying that the sheep upon a thousand hills were his. He was a man of sterling ability, a good counselor, a warm friend and a sincere Christian.
Grandma was a great favorite with all the young people and she always had a kind word and pleasant smile for all. They were married nearly 60 years and were always happy in each other's love and confidence. He died Sept. 13, 1879, aged 86 years. Sarah, his wife, died Jan. 1st, 187??, aged 7?." http://www.our-oxford.info/davis-reminiscences/Davis-12.html.

" In continuing the reminiscences of Riggs street we will leave the main road nearly opposite the residence of Ransom Hinman and follow a crossroad for about three-fourths of a mile when we come to an ancient farm house known as the Andrews place. This house was built some time in the seventies of the 17th century, by a man named Finch, who lived there many years and reared a family of five daughters. I remember one very distinctly, the youngest, Sarah, who married Hiram Osborn. The place was vacant for several years until about the year 1854." http://www.our-oxford.info/davis-reminiscences/Davis-14.html.
