I have recently started trying to figure out my
ggrandmothers side of the tree. Her name is Gertrude Carrier b.1779 d.
1933 Her parents were Eugene Carrier b. 1852 Pa and Almira Carrier b.
abt.1828 Pa.
She married Alvin Leonard. b.1884 d. 1954. Eugene's parents were
Bengaman b.abt 1825 Matilda Carrier b.abt.1830. I have found them in
several census his name being spelled : Binjle Benj and Bengaman. I
found them in the 1870 census in Auborn Sus,County Pa and the 1880
Meshoppen,Wyoming Pa. It seems Eugene and Almira moved a lot too. They
are in Vestal, Ny Whiteside,Ill Nichols, Ny and are buried in Athens,Pa
Bradford county. Well anyway I am now trying to find the parents of Ben
and Matilda. The census say his father was born in Mass. and his mother
Conn. I am hopeing to connect with others and figure this puzzle out.
Thank you,
