Deacon Benjamin Colt of Lyme, Connecticut was the great grandfatherof the inventor Samuel Colt, who designed the Colt revolver and established the company of the same name in Hartford, Connecticut.

Notes from Thomas Holcombe:
Dr. Harris notes that the birthdate, often repeated of 1698, is disputed by the available record of his gravestone inscription in Marvin Graveyard at Lyme. He died "Oct. 4, 1754, in this 50th year," which would make his birth about 1705, unless the "0" on the weathered stone was a "6" which case he would have been born about 1699. Further information is apparently available in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 84 (1953):140-141, which had corrections published elsewhere.
