This elderly settler and his wife were preceded by their son, the younger Benjamin, whose beautiful signature is to be seen appended to the "fundamental agreement" of the founders of New Haven which was dated 4 Jun 1639. In the seating of the meeting house in March 1646/7 only benjamin Wilmot and sister Wilmot are named, and these must be the younger Benj. The rest of the Wilmot family, probably arr. soon after, for "old Willmott is listed as taking the oath of fidelity on 2 May 1648, will William Willmott, the other son took the oath on 22 May 1654. Asked for 24 acres on 17 May 1647 as given to other planters as inheritance. The only other Wilmot child was a married daughter who first appears as Goodwife Bunill in 1649.
The elder Wilmot has his 24 acres in 1662, paying 20 pounds for it. His home was neqar West Rock in what is now the Westville section of New Haven. His daughter Ann married a man much older, for William Bunnell is called old, poor and unwill as early as 1650. Soon after, Bunnell left his family for MA and England, returning to New Haven by Oct 1651, complaining that during his absence 2 of his children had been apprenticed by their grandfather Benjamin. Since Bunnell had left his family without support, the Court approved Wilmot's action. By May 1654 Ann Wilmot Bunnell had died and old Bunnell asked the town to pay his passage to England where he had friends to care for him.
Will dated 7 Aug 1669, the old man called himself aged fourscore years, gave legacies to the children of his son Benjamin and daughter Anne, and the residue to his son William (New Haven Probate, Liber I,part I:144)
