Hi, I am still being in state of confusion trying to research our Benjamin Kitchens, born
1780 GA.
In several documents his name is Catching/s as are others around him. Our earliest record
of him is during the War of 1812 in Jasper CO. GA. He served two terms there under the
name of Kitchens. But, there were several men there from SC at the same time using the
name Kitchens. We have reseearched that family and he just doesn't fit. There was also
a Nancy that married in Jasper Co, who I think is Benjamin's daughter. On her license
she uses the name Catchins. If you have a Benjamin born ca: 1780 that has been lost from
your tree around 1812 whe need to hear from you. This is all very confusing needless to
say. All help on this is very appreciated. We are about at our wits end trying to find
this man's parents,
Thanks, Gwen
