America BESS, b. 10 Dec 1821 in KY, married Joseph MILSTEAD on 29 Nov
1838 in Jackson Co., IN. She was a daughter of Elijah BESS, b. 20 Mar
1789 in Washington Co., KY and his wife Hannah ALLEN. Elijah and Hannah
were m. 16 Nov 1815 in Bullitt Co., KY.
Elijah BESS was my 3rd great-grandfather. I have some sketchy
information on his family, but nothing more on his daughter America BESS
or her husband Joseph MILSTEAD. I had not seen this census record
before, but from it one could conclude that Lydia and Benjamin were
Joseph's children from an earlier marriage.
Hope this helps . . .

Curious to find if this Milstead family came from Boone or Washington Co., Kentucky as
well as other information.
