Note: He was born at Napanoch in the house at the top of Budd's Hill, then occupied by Benjamin Roosa, his grandfather for whom he was named. Benjamin grew up to be a tall vigorous youth with dark eyes and coarse features. He had a strong taste for books and study. He attended the Leurenkill School in 1796 and chose the medical profession, and started studying with Dr. James Oliver of Marbletown. Later, he attended lectures in New York City and Philadelphia and received his diploma from Columbia College in 1804. He commenced his medical career in Woodstock in 1805 and then went on to Kingston, and later to his old homestead in Napanoch. As a physician, Dr. Bevier was distinguished for his genial manner. He never stopped studying his profession. His "ride" was extensive, reaching from Mombaccus to the Mamakating Valley and from the upper Neversink to Sam's Point. He went around mostly on horseback and lived in the saddle for forty years. In 1823, and again from 1826-1837, he was President of the Ulster County Medical Society. He practiced in later years with his son, Dr. Benjamin Rush Bevier. His practice at Napanoch as legal advisor, Commissioner of Deeds, and notary public, was scarcely less extensive than his medical practice. He probably drafted more wills in his life in Ulster County than any lawyer. He was made one of the judges of the Ulster County Court, but resigned because it interfered with his medical practice. He held, for many years, the office of treasurer of the Dutch Reformed Church of Napanoch. In his family he was kind, considerate, and loving, and bore with patience and composure the increasing infirmities and pains of old age.
