Yes, that would be my Charlotta (so listed 1850) for sure. Thank you, I have now found
her family 1880, 1900 & 1910 and can go from there and can fill in a major whole in
the family.
Benedict Joseph Padgett and my 3xgreat grandfather Charles W. were brothers. One of our
family bibles lists Charles father as Zacharia b. abt 1765 Prince George Co. MD, died 1866
Washington Co., KY. Charles bio fr St. Mary's Sesquincentennial however lists Charles
W. father as George, so believe he was actually Zacharia George. Not enough to confirm,
but I do know that in 1810 the Padgett's lived next door to the Gates family in Prince
George's county, MD, and I have reason to believe that Zacharia married Margaret E.
Gates who is the mother of Charles and Benedict. Charles was born 22 Oct 1799 in Allegany
county, MD and brother Benedict was born 15 May 1812 in KY.
The date you have of Benedict's marriage to Eliza is actually the license date, they
married 01 Feb 1835 according to the record I found at LDS, Early Marriages of Daviess
County, IN:
Groom: Benedict I Padget
Bride: Elisa Gates
Date of License: 31 Jan 1835
County of License: Daviess
Date of Marriage: 01 Feb 1835
Place of Marriage: , Daviess, Indiana

His middle initial trans as I. in error, should be J. and of course the surname often
misspelled should be Padgett.
I have quite a lot on this family as well as Mary Charlotte's sister Minerva Jane
Padgett married my Minerva Jane Seal's brother William Marshall Seal. The two
Minerva's took a while to sort out as one was a Padgett married a Seal--the
other's brother, and SHE, a Seal married a Padgett--the other's 1st cousin.
