"BENONI3 (Isaac2, William1), probably so named because he was born on the day of his father's death or within a day or two of that event; m., at Sherborn, June 18, 1680, Mary Fanning, dau. of Thomas and Elizabeth (Daniel) Fanning, b. Oct. 27, 1662, who d. Oct. 14, 1688, in childbirth, and he m. second Sarah Wright, of Sudbury, who was received to the church (1690.) She d. Jan'y 25, 1736-7. He was the second deacon of the church, and was constable 1682; selectman, 1690, 1693, 1695, 1697, 1700, 1710. He was early in Sherborn and resided where the late Dr. Wythe resided. He is one of the signers to a petition for the settlement of difficulties in regard to the meeting house, to enable the people to settle Mr. Daniel Gookin, Oct. 13, 1680. (Minutes Gen. Court, vol. 112, p. 317.)
In 1699, he was on a committee for laying out lots, and had lots assigned to him; was rated 1686 for the Indian title, and drew 138 acres of land in Douglas; twelve years, selectman, one year, representative. One of the signers of agreement for government of Sherborn 1679, on committee for repairing meeting house 1706, with Corp. Isaac Learned and others.

In Judge Sewall's Journal under date of Wednesday, Apr. 14, 1703, Deacon Learned is mentioned as with him while he "renewed the bounds of the farm Moses Adams lives on." His name is signed to an agreement relative to lands in Bogestow, occurring in Sherborn records of births, 1688-9.

"The excellent Deacon Benoni Learned," says Rev. Mr. Morse, "served Sherborn as treasurer, selectman, representative in the general court, and for a long period in his early history his name is conspicuous, and it is evident that he was a man of sound and consistent piety." He died April 10th, 1738. His will, written Jan'y 12, 1736-7, proved April, 1738, mentions his wife Sarah; son Edward, heirs of son Thomas; grandson Benjamin Bond, son of daughter Mary; daughter Hannah, wife of James Leland; daughter Sarah, wife of Isaac Kendall; daughter Elizabeth, wife of Timothy Leland; daughter Tabitha Dewing's heirs; daughter Abigail; daughter Thankful; daughter Bathsheba, wife of Josiah Hendee. Edward was executor. No mention is made of a widow in the administration papers. His wife seems to have died a few days after the will was executed. Dr. Bond says she survived her husband; perhaps his reason for this statement is because she is named in the will. His second wife was a dau. of Capt. Edward Wright of Sudbury, and with others released her rights in her father's estate to her brother Samuel. June 15, 1708 Rec. of Deeds Midd. XVI. 491."
