Benedict's family had deep roots in America: their heritage traced back to the Mayflower. Subsequent generations had gone into farming, but both of Benedict's parents were college graduates. Her father, Frederick Samuel Fulton, was a surgeon practicing in New York City when Benedict was born on June 5, 1887.
