County, Indiana and was buried in New Marion Cemetery, Ripley County, Indiana. Benjamin
and Mary had 8 children:
1. Elizabeth – She was born on 21-May-1801 in Garrard County, Kentucky. Elizabeth married

I have also seen that Benjamin's father might have also been named Benjamin and was
from Albemarle Co, VA. I do not know how accurate that information is. I appreciate any
information anyone can give me on this family . Thanks!
