Benjamin Thomas Caywood, Bn 26 Feb 1846 in Kentucky. He was son of Soloman H. Caywood and
Sally Jones. He is listed with Soloman's family in the 1860 Dallas Co., MO census and
then with his brother Thomas in the 1870 Dallas Co., MO census. Benton Co., MO Deed
record dated 17 Feb 1880 included his wife's name as "Nancy". An affidavit
dated 20 May 1880 indicated Benjamin was of Grayson, TX and that he was a widower. I
believe this is the same Benjamin that married Mary Jane Lemons. I have no information
that "Nancy" was an Indian maiden but she may have been. I have been unable to
find a marriage record for Benjamin in MO, having searched Benton, Dallas, Pettis, and
Morgan Counties only. I have a lot of information on this Caywood family as my
g-grandfather was a half brother to Benjamin. I'm willing to share whatever I have.
