Davis lived in the old farmhouse many years and filled several town offices and was elected twice to t he legislature. Later he moved to Seymour and conducted a profitable livery business for several years. He died in Seymour in 1912.

11B. 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.
