Benedict Arnold (October 5, 1780 - March 3, 1849) was an American politician from New York, and a member of the House of Representatives. He was born in Amsterdam, in modern Montgomery County, New York. He was named in honor of the famous Benedict Arnold; this later seemed quite surprising, as the American Revolutionary War was still raging in 1780. However, at the time he was still seen as a hero of the United States, stemming from the capture of Fort Ticonderoga. Wikipedia
