Besides his pastoral duties, Mr. Beebe also managed a large farm, was part owner of the local grist and sawmills and he owned slaves.
Beebe's gravestone at the Unity Burial Ground reads: This Monument was erected by the Church & Society of North Stratford out of respect to the memory of Rev.
Beebe had his work cut out for him though, as the church had become scattered in 1744 by the conversion to Episcopacy by the last pastor, Reverend Richardson Miner.
Beebe served as an Army Chaplain in the 3rd Regiment raised in the Colony of Connecticut in March 1760 during the French & Indian War.
They captured the culprits, who turned out to be young men from the town who had burned some cornstalks and were playing a joke on the people at the meeting to test their patriotism.
[3] Reverend Beebe organized A Great Jubilee Day on Monday May 26, 1783, in North Stratford, now Trumbull, commemorating the end of fighting in the American Revolutionary War.
