With his first wife, Þorbjörg Árnadóttir, Benedikt had two daughters, Þóra and Sigríður. Þóra came west, married on the Pacific coast, and lived in Oregon. Sigríður did not emigrate.
Kristín sailed west in 1893. Benedikt emigrated west with his father, Jón Benediktsson, and brothers in 1887. Benedikt moved west to Saskatchewan and bought land in the Þingvalla Settlement near Churchbridge in 1891. He was not there long before moving to N. Dakota where he married Kristín. She had moved west with her parents in 1893. They moved north to the so-called Marshland west of the village of Langruth, Manitoba in 1901 and from there north to Narrows on Lake Manitoba. There Benedikt took on a ferry project but also fished in the lake summer and winter. For a while, the family lived near Reykjavík, somewhat further north, but from there Benedikt headed west to the Pacific Ocean, where he decided to study salmon fishing at sea. He moved the family south to Winnipeg but he went west to the Queen Charlotte Islands and later to Graham Island. That adventure did not work out, and Benedict returned to Manitoba, picked up his family in Winnipeg, and settled in Narrows again. In 1914 they moved to the Ísafold Settlement and lived there after.
